    We are close to season kick off though and that was muck. Plus that's not far off the first 11.

    You have too look and worry


    Not really it's a friendly can never judge a team in a friendly that goes for international and club level.

    Bit silly to be judging a team based on a friendly, I'll start judging from the first game of the season. This is just a weekend to enjoy watching Arsenal play since we've been starved of it for a while.

    Not really as I said earlier ya wouldn't no what block of training were doing

    That's just excuses coaches use pal, you are watching the team coming to the end of pre season the earlier heavier stuff will have been done by now.

    This team is almost fully ready those excuses wash mid July

    It's okay to think a half was ****e

    Have to agree, also we have seen this type of performance too many times last season.

    Too many excuses been made about training and it's only a friendly crowd. This is the same problem's this team had during last season and our manager think's one big signing will solve this. Wake up guy's we need signing's fast cause this team will suffer.

    How to we no they not in a middle of a strength block or doing extra conditioning

    We're still two weeks out so that's quiet possible

    You said you have to look and worry I don't think you do, it's a friendly nothing more it's a warm up for the season ahead for players to increase there match sharpness and fitness.

    If they play like that in the first game of the real season I will begin to worry but not before then.

    Toda I'm just enjoying watching some non pressure results don't matter football much like how I guess many of the players on the pitch view today.

    Fcuking ridiculous everyone up in aheap over a pre season friendly

    The whole club is fcuked

    We don't but it is just an excuse, same way we don't know where Napoli are. You would think training was organised with the tournament in mind so nothing too mental could have been done plus this is a PR exercise they want to go well.

    Anyway it was a **** first half maybe this will be better

    Ok you can put any positive spin on it you like others will go full negative I'll sit in the realistic middle with my medium comment that I worry looking at half number 1

    Weren't we all celebrating a 7 nil against some Indonesian Dream Team.

    The booing of Higuain is a bit odd


  • Posts: 12,836 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Hargreaves been good as a commentator. Overall the play hasn't been bad but Podolski and Giroud have been horrid. Hoping to see Ox centrally in this game.

    I'm not putting a positive or negative spin on it, just because I'm not crying bloody murder don't mean I'm being positive ;).

    I'm just enjoying a nothing matters Arsenal football match that's it.

    Not really, it was barely mentioned in the thread due to the nothingness of the match.

    Yep, boo the board. The player publically stated he wanted to join.

    In fairness I don't remember anyone saying that at all, I remeber a few saying there a nothing team though and it wasn't really any kind of test but the heat and humidity be good for the players fitness.

    In fairness a lot have used those games to say the team looks great and full of confidence. We fall too down today and now it's only a friendly
