What does this even mean?

After 6 games they're in 6th, although only 2 points back from first. I definitely think they'll be contending for a champion's league spot this year.
Well they got Lacina Traore who I think is a beast. Damn good skills for a guy who is 2m+ in height. He makes a great partnership with Eto'o. Besides that they got a couple promising Russian youngsters. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see them get somebody tomorrow now that they reached the group stage of the Europa League.
You'll be playing our second string team, you've got a good chance.
Silver lining after all!
Yup. His stats from when Ochotorena left are quite interesting actually - I remember reading an article showing how his stats had declined since he left.
I'll see if I can find it.
It means they won't score a goal.
We will have a solid defence.
Can't find my post explaining why not, but no not really.
I think you fear Bebe too much.
Why not?
I never picked a favorite team, even though my dad wanted. I just didn't care much about watching football as a kid, but I did play a lot.

I honestly can't tell whether you're serious or not.
Nah. Lille Chairman says Real rumour was bs and that he's staying for Champion's League. January signing maybe?
Fucking :lol
Probably a bit premature to shit on Arsenal's defense just yet (it has certainly been wholly untested so far and will likely be the shittiest of the top four, though it's not like Liverpool's defense hasn't made some appalling mistakes lately), but if it comes to having to outscore the opponent, I think Arsenal will win. Diaby's not a DM, but he's closer to a pure DM than Sahin or Allen, and that could hurt you.
Still would be pleased with a point, as long as we score some goals.
What does your heart tell you?
Whilst I'm half joking (your defence has been solid in the first two games), you've got this completely the wrong way around. It's a bit premature to be talking about going into games with a solid defence, especially when you still include the likes of Jenkinson and Mertesacker in your back four.
I also think it's a wee bit early to talk about outscoring opponents when you've yet to tally a league goal.

My heart is confused
Seriously, I'm really worried for how this season will play out :lol
I'd most certainly eat her shit without question.
I'd let her sit on my face, but I wouldn't eat her shit.
What if you had to eat her shit to let her sit on your face?

Liverpool hadn't scored in the West Brom game, but City gave you a lot more space and eventually you put those chances away. It's not a secret that Sunderland and Stoke play deep; Liverpool will press high up the pitch. Evryone's been getting into good positions (except Gervinho. he's been shit.), creating far more quality chances than last season, someone's going to score eventually.
Jenkinson is complete shit, no doubt about that, but Mertesacker is quality—he's just really really slow. But, again, blessing in disguise; he'll be forced to cover. Kos-Verm partnership is dangerous because both feel that they have the freedom to go forward and completely expose the goal, but Per has to stay back.

The Twente game is great. Another Turkish team at the brink of defeat after Trabzonspor lost to Videoton FC (wtf?)....lololol, Altintop 
Oh wait, it's the other Altintop. Eh, don't care - both played for Schalkeh

Newcastle gonna realise what they missing out on.
Bebertan. What could've been.
Bebertan would shatter dimensions while singing a warped version of "Baby, Baby, Baby".

And Twente did it! No more pens (I guess). Shitty day for Turkish football.
I'd probably muscle through it.
If we don't manage to get anyone in besides Dempsey I'll be shitting it.

The Times said:
Would take that. Sturridge can finish and play wide forward too.
Would take that as well.
