Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal fans are understandably excited about the season ahead - and it seems the players are too.
Aside from Bacary Sagna, Arsene Wenger has kept the players together that took the club to FA Cup glory and for much of the season kept them on the top of the Premier League table.
They've also added exciting Chile forward Alexis Sanchez, Mathieu Debuchy to replace Sagna, David Ospina and Calum Chambers and there could be more new arrivals on their way.
Those high hopes for the campaign ahead have been given a fresh injection today with the emergence of two videos that suggest the Gunners are firing.
A gif of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, crocked for the World Cup, looking super fit and displaying his tekkers has been doing the rounds.
In addition to that, a video of Olivier Giroud tricking a defender before flicking in a delicious rebound has also been posted on the internet.
With the new season now just a couple of weeks away, it seem the Arsenal players are just as excited as the fans.
Theo Walcott posted this on Twitter earlier.
And one of Arsenal's German contingent, Mesut Ozil, is so pumped up for the new season he's putting his nation's triumph at the World Cup behind him - in the rearview mirror to be exact.
It just doesn't stop. If all you need is love, then here it is (straight from Arsenal's official Facebook account).
