Music to my ears

5-0, Bendtner hat-trick.

andrewie · 28-07-2008 05:11PM

Vela again.

6-0 after 32 mins

Pepe LeFrits · 28-07-2008 05:11PM

Okay, I'm going to stop posting updates because this is getting silly. 6-0, Vela again.

eZe^ · 28-07-2008 05:14PM

Burgenland really are atrocious.... Even when the Arsenal kiddies are fu*king up backheels and joke passes, the Burgenland players actually can't stop/control/clear/kick/see the ball.. Vela's 2nd being the perfect example. 6-0 after 35 minutes, hahahahaha... It might be worth putting money on the front 6 all scoring by the end of the game... :P

andrewie · 28-07-2008 05:16PM

7.

Bendtner's fourth.

DenMan · 28-07-2008 05:19PM

Really struggling for goals today....;) Well done boys, looking forward to seeing them on highlights later. I know it is only a friendly, but sharpness in pre season is so important. Plus it will give the guys plenty of encouragement that they are taking their chances now especially when points are up for grabs in a few weeks. Big plus, eye for goal.

Frisbee · 28-07-2008 05:22PM

Really wish this match was on setanta...

DenMan · 28-07-2008 05:48PM

Just saw on Sky Sports Score Center, 8-0, Vela hat trick.

andrewie · 28-07-2008 05:59PM

There's number 9.

Wiltshire with his second from the spot after he was fouled.

~Marky~ · 28-07-2008 06:01PM

10

its should be about 25 though

andrewie · 28-07-2008 06:02PM

Double figures.

Theo Walcott.

20 minutes to go...

DenMan · 28-07-2008 06:04PM

Another three I would imagine, maybe four.

andrewie · 28-07-2008 06:05PM

They have scored one and celebrating like they won haha

10-1

DenMan · 28-07-2008 06:09PM

Peter Artner got one back for Burgenland. Anybody see it go in?

PHB · 28-07-2008 06:29PM

I honestly think I'm better than some of those players

Vela really is a talent though, his quality was even on show there today.

mike65 · 28-07-2008 09:27PM

So they did take it seriosuly then!

This is driving me mad. First of all how could a professional football team lose a game and concede 10 goals. I am an Arsenal supporter by the way so delighted with the result and the performances of Bendtner and Vela especially. Surely these boys from Burganland are in their own pre season preparations preparing for the start of their own league. Not taking anything away from Arsenal's terrific win here tonight but surely Burganland have to take responsibility for their own performance. Their players must have ambitions to play for bigger clubs as well and it's their own performances that will determine whether or not they make the step up. Sorry for the rant but the Burganland manager must be pulling his hair out (what's left of it). They must have some sort of a professional set up over there and to be honest it does not bear well for the future of young Austrian footballers coming through. The fact that they scored two tonight means they can actually perform (even though Arsenal might have taken their foot off the pedal) Well done Gunners on a super performance.

Mossy Monk · 28-07-2008 10:07PM

Frightening if their keeper is a professional.

Diddy Kong · 29-07-2008 07:38AM

From the Arsenal web site:

This was Arsenal's third visit to Ritzing in the past five years. The first had ended in a 2-2 draw. The second, in 2005, saw the visitors run out 5-2 winners in a match that celebrated the opening of the home team's newly-developed stadium. This small town on the Hungarian border only has 900 inhabitants but it possesses a ground that would grace any English Conference side.

Ritzing themselves play in the Austrian 'Mitte' Regional League however today's opponents, a Burgenland XI, were drawn from teams of a lower standard. It would be glaringly obvious throughout the 90 minutes.

Its a mix of several conference teams!

They were not world beaters those Burgerland select XI maybe a fast food venture would serve them better

But all the same it was good to score 10 goals and Bendtner looked sharp took his goals well, Vela looked good and Wilshire impressed again
Is the Stuttgart game on Setanta ? that will be a better standard at least

Galvasean · 29-07-2008 11:58AM

What a waste of a friendly. Sure its fun to put ten past a team but seriously whats the point? I mean the goalie turned his back on Bendtner for his fourth. Defenders tripping over the ball and watching players run past without running after them. Why bother?

MIN2511 · 29-07-2008 12:31PM

Jeez... just saw the scores for that! Ramsey 1
Bendtner 15
Bendtner 20
Vela 25
Bendtner 30
Vela 33
Bendtner 38
Vela 53
Wilshere (pen) 65
Walcott 69

Like a goal for every 9 minutes they played! BRILLIANT!

I have to say Walcott has scored 2 goals in the last two matches...

Seems like the one to watch now.

Well that was pointless. Good to see Wilshere at last though, and Vela's 1st was beautifully taken, although against that kind of defending everyone looks class.

good to see kolo back after the 'malaria' scaremongering, and cesc too, happy days.

I have been reading on some Arsenal blogs this morning that Arsenal could be entitled to anywhere up to 50% of the sell on price of Bentley if Spurs buy him due to the original sell on clause when we sold him
Does anyone know a dependable source for the the correct figure ?

If true Arsenal could get up to 8.5 mil from his sale

Galvasean · 30-07-2008 11:06AM

I read Ian Wright's column in the Sun (yeah I know I know) yesterday. He fears Arsenal have begun a stepping stone club for 'wannabe superstars' citing the departures of Hleb and Flamini. He also said any fans who think Arsenal will stay in the top four this season are being optimistic rather than realistic. I seem to recall a similar article by him this time last season predicting mid table mediocrity.
