Thought this might come in useful for some.

Is that McCarthy and AIDS standing against treachery?

 

[ijjysmith]

Shouldn't be just about fitness. Friendlies and pre-season is about implementing new strategies and tactics. We're not doing that at all. Didn't do it last pre-season and in turn our season was a joke.

We've won a game and sort of beaten Stoke this pre season. Does this mean we'll automatically be better in the proper season?

No of course it doesn't. Just as playing like a gang of idiots today doesn't mean we'll automatically be crap in the proper season.

Scary. BK " so if we sell Stones we'll need an experienced player to replace him?" Roberto " No problem. We'll play Tony Hibbert there, he's phenomenal"

That, I'm sure, is what Martinez knows.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Clueless without a playmaker like Pienaar.

There is no way we can go into this season without buying one. That, I'm sure, is what Martinez knows.

Didn't buy one last summer, didn't buy one in January, hadn't bought one yet this summer. Been obvious to most fans we've needed one for about three years. I wouldn't put any money on one coming in.

Can't believe the lack of any fight........

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Arsenal are better than us though.

Really? For a first game in a while for a lot of them? To be that much better than us now is startling. For us to be as rudderless as we've been today is equally startling.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Out of here. Have a good weekend lads.

 

[Moomin]

Joel is horrendous.

And some people wanted him as our number 1 keeper LOL

Get Ospina please.

 

[neonleon]

So what? It's a friendly. For fitness only.

We've learned nothing here that we didn't know already.

We should've just ignored the game then and done jumping jacks and press ups in the centre circle. Feel the burn.

Look at the 11s and th subs. Almost every position they have a better player.

He's said he we need one this time. That's the difference.

May as well have done that while Arsenal run rings around us.

Tyler has a masters in Tony Hibbert

Anyone else reckon Arsenal have treated this more like a proper league game, whereas we've treated it for what it really is, a preseason game?
