I thought we might as well make one thread for all the Emirates cup games. No point making 15 threads for a pointless tournament.

Match Schedule:

Saturday, August 2, 2014
Valencia CF v AS Monaco – 2pm kick-off
Arsenal v SL Benfica – 4.20pm kick-off
Sunday, August 3, 2014
SL Benfica v Valencia CF – 2pm kick-off
Arsenal v AS Monaco – 4.20pm kick-off

Rules:
Teams will be awarded three points for a win and one point for a draw. The competition also rewards attacking play, with teams earning one point for each goal they score. In addition, shots on target will be taken into account and will be used to decide the tournament winners if teams are level on points and goal difference, with the winning team being presented with the Emirates Cup trophy after the second match on Sunday, August 3.

May I point out we haven't actually won the cup since 2010 :dunce: :haha:


Time to bring the trophy home tbh

I liked the bit where Ox woke up and decided to become an absolute monster.

Bellerin has played with a lot of confidence.

Campbell looks great, his first instinct is to go forward. Bit raw but he'll cause defences problems.

The Sanogo imposter has done really well after a rough start.

Ramsey :bow: He just needs to get his hair sorted out and he'll be the complete player.

Even with Nacho Benfica haven't been able to touch us.

I was slagging Sanogo off (in my head not on here) then he turned it up a notch. His service has been very good which bodes well for Walcott and Sanchez but I still don't really think he plays with the conviction of an Arsenal CF. Hope he goes from strength to strength though.

Ramsey is gravy.....and bisto at that.

I've liked Bellerin for a while now. Very good link up and interplay with the attack and really looks after the ball! Monreal is really fortunate to be a Spanish international. Even the one that vacated Braseeeel with their short ass tails between their legs.

Sanogo looks like he's just lazy to get back, or at least I hope so. :lol:

Van Nistelrooy used to do it too, he'd only be a couple of yards offside then he would step onside at the 'right' time. It throws defenders off I suppose

Yaya Sanogo - 4
Joel Campbell - 1
Cristiano Ronaldo - 0
Lionel Messi - 0

Probably the first 'fun' preseason friendly in years. Actually seemed like players like Campbell were trying to make a point, rather than just go through the motions of a training session. But the only noteworthy thing today was that Ramsey and Chamberlain looked very sharp, which is bloody useful. Chamberlain is going to kill it this season.

From Wenger's post match interview he seemed to suggest there will probably only be one signing, which will be at the back. Don't think we'll get our monster DM so we'd better hope for Ramsey to play a full season. Engine of the team goes as soon as he's out.

on the injuries...
Diaby was not in the squad, he is just going out to practice, but is not injured. Zelalem has no problem, I could just put 22 on the list.

on having too many players...
Yes, but you want me always to buy more. Where do I put them all?

on whether he has made an offer for Sami Khedira…
No.

on enquiring for Khedira...
What is enquire for you?

on Khedira's availablity...
I dont know. If I read the newspapers, he is available.

Delighted that Sanogo, Campbell and Bellerin all impressed - 3 potential bonus players for the season ahead, that no one would have had too many / any expectations for. Poor Jenks though - his motivation for this year will be in the toilet before the season even starts if Bellerin continues like that!

Bellerin looks so confident and composed on the ball and he made a beauty of a cross for Campbell's goal too. Problem is that, apparently, he is a bit suspect defensively which he will need to work on. Great prospect though

Needs to work on that.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Debuchy, Koscielny, Chambers, Monreal, Ramsey, Arteta, Wilshere, Cazorla, Alexis, Giroud.
Subs: Martinez, Miquel, Hayden, Bellerin, Akpom, Zelalem, Coquelin, Flamini, Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Monaco: Subasic; Carvalho, Raggi, Dirar, Echiejile; Bakayoko, Kondogbia, Ferreira-Carrasco, Moutinho, Ocampos; Falcao.
Subs: Caillard, Fabinho, Kurzawa, Germain, Isimat-Mirin, Martial, Toulalan, Bahamboula, Diallo, Berbatov.

A 2-1 defeat would be enough for us to win the Emirates Cup, I think.

It's pre-season, they'll probably fill in those empty spaces on the shirts by the time the season kicks off. I suppose after that we need to start thinking sandwich boards.

Got a feeling that's going to be the team to start against Palace on the opening day with Gibbs in place of Nacho.

Monaco and Valencia are big and well supported clubs. Surprised they would struggle to find decent shirt sponsors.
