So here we are. The first NLD of the season, featuring Arsenal playing a team that many are anointing the New Arsenal because they went to the store this summer and bought a bunch of stuff. There's a million cliches about these games - not typical games, form out the window, etc - and they're mostly true; this is a big game for both teams, for various reasons. For Arsenal, it's a big game because for some reason they need to prove they're still a Big Club; for PBFC, it's big because they want to get away from the kids table and sit with the grownups.
What they'll find is that the grownup table is pretty crowded; they'll probably need to sit at the kids table for a while yet. There's not a whole lot to say here except GO ON YOU REDS; let's show the neighbors who is the ONE TEAM IN LONDON, shall we?
FRIENDLY NOTE: No matter what happens today, if you decide to go troll at CFC, you'll be banned here. No debate, no appeal. Don't do it. Thanks.
