Arsenal open their 2012-13 campaign next Saturday hosting Sunderland at The Grove. Sunderland have added Cuéllar over the summer and little else. Arsenal are likely to field a lineup devoid of new signings, keeping Cazorla, Podolski, and Giroud on the bench for the beginning of the season--supposing Robin van Persie is still with the squad.
Re: Arsenal v Sunderland, 8/18/12 Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, Koscielny, Giroud, Cazorla, and a few others are going to be game-time decisions.
Re: Arsenal v Sunderland, 8/18/12 Bit rusty today. Not much to say about that game. Sunderland parked the bus and we couldn't convert our chances. Cazorla is a spark plug. Best player on the pitch today. He's going to endear himself pretty quickly.
Re: Arsenal v Sunderland, 8/18/12 I watched the game. Thought if Cazorla was the best player, Gervihno was def the second best. Giroud shoulda scored his chance
Re: Arsenal v Sunderland, 8/18/12 Didn't watch it, but Arsenal must be awful if they can't beat Newcastle's noisy neighbours!
