No point watching the last match of the day. Jesus will probably score a hat trick against this terrible Bournemouth defense.

Then the Arse wankfest continues for another week. They could hardly hand pick an easier start to their season.

Amazing what having a player who can score can do...

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

Bournemouth clearly having their bellies rubbed until their cup final against us. 

[Laylabelle 9,411]

And 1-0 and Jesus plays a part...

Zaha had two in His teams Victory over villa today.

Criminal negligence we did not go for Jesus. FFS.

And to really add in a kick to the cunt (boot to the jacobs for the lads here) we will likely end up with their bin-tossed Auba and pay 20, 30m for him

 

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

And that’s 2-0. 
 

Please go back down Bournemouth

And now a assist...such a good buy from them!

Arsenal have been playing some good stuff. They don't play a decent team till Oct, so they could be on a roll if things continue.

We did, but it was too late. Jesus's agent has confirmed we tried to hijack him: “Chelsea were one of the teams that tried to hijack the Arsenal move. They tried very hard in the final days to get him. By that point, we’d already chosen our new project."

I don't get the Jesus hype. Let's wait 6 months

[Pizy 18,537]

Jesus, Sterling, and Mase pressing like maniacs would’ve been lethal.

I just want to hurry up and get into the super congested part of the season so these annoying Arse bastards fall away.

There needs to be a huge rule change in regards to promotion from the Championship to the EPL.

So sick of these yo yo sides like Bournemouth, Norwich, Fulham, Watford, etc gaming the system. They use the promotion and then the parachute money in one big scam cycle of endless back and forths.

I would institute a rule that if you are relegated in either of the first 2 seasons after promotion, you are banned from promotion for the next 3 seasons, and no more parachute money, or at least greatly reduce it.

Get some fresh faces up in the EPL and also force the yo yo teams to actually make an effort to stay up.

yeah but why did we not go early in then. just stupid. While i think jesus would not look anywhere this good with us, he would for sure make a difference. Against  weaker sides Arsenal will always be more comfortable than us with their electric attack and extra no.10 but vs the bigger sides they will all struggle. Jesus however has shown he can occasionally create goals on his own even in big games. That is why I think he would be a good fit. He is no Agüero in this regard but he is a team player. And that is what we need an attack. Someone who does the donkey work, presses, holds up the ball and yet can provide that spark when nothing else goes.

Probably better to have gone for him from the start rather then when it was too late..

The parachute payments should definitely be capped for teams like Norwich, who hardly spend a penny and look all but relegated after the first two matchdays.
