Woke up and got my coffee just in time for kickoff. Should be an interesting match. Hoping that we can get something out of it. But Arsenal have started well. Come on you Whites!!

Do not try and play out from the back against these guys. It's just asking for trouble.

I'm of the opposite opinion, hoofing it clear will just give the ball away and Arsenal can keep well

We at least have an opportunity to set up the defense.

I've seen too many cheap goals go in in the past when we play out from the back.

Commentators are a bit Arsenal centric.

Arse doing a lot of moaning, good to see. Probably expecting us to sit off them & let them play themselves.
