Pre-season friendlies

[SMatthews]

All on at stupid o’clock so no point watching live.

Beat Colorado 3-0 earlier this morning.

Goals from Martinelli, Saka and Olayinka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli. :bow:

Best signing of the summer tbf.

[dazthegooner]

So we have Bayern Tomorrow 4am our time any feeds where we can watch the match?

[SMatthews]

The internet.

[dazthegooner]

I will treat that response with the contempt it deserves ;)

[LDG]

Arsenal 2 - 1 Bayern

Poznanski OG and Eddie with ours, Lewandowski with theirs.

Younger lads playing well by all accounts.

Mustafi being Mustafi by all accounts

[dazthegooner]

Watched the last 25 minutes well worked goal for Eddie, John-Jules missed a sitter in the last minute.

[Letters]

John-Jules missed a sitter in the last minute.
Red Dwarf :bow:

[GP]

Red Dwarf :bow:

Actually is his nephew.

[Letters]

Oh, really? :lol:

[Letters]

While we're here

Death In Paradise :bow:

Although he's gone out of that now and been replaced by some unfunny woman <_<

[SMatthews]

That could literally be any woman then.

[Letters]

:lol:

Although, I watched (well, more listened to really) Sarah Pascoe's "Lads, Lads, Lads" video and thought it was pretty funny tbh.

[GP]

I quite like Katherine Ryan thought that might just be because she's hot.

[dazthegooner]

Yeah she is pity she's had so much work done on herself didn't need it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fiorentina tonight at 11pm BST.

We're top of the International Champions Cup league table. :bow:

[Thierrymon]

Very unconvincing against Fiorentina so far, despite the lead. So exposed at the back.

[Thierrymon]

Eddie gets his second of the game. Nice play from the team.

[Thierrymon]

Willock makes it 3-0. Much better second half for us with more experience in the middle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Michael Johnson's son. :bow:

Willock. :bow:

[Mac76]

Eddie to get 30 next season and keep Auba out of the starting eleven...?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 2-2 Arsenal.

Marketing won 3-2 on pelanties.

Normal time goals, Lacazette pelanty and Aubameyang.

Bale and Asensio for Marketing.

Nacho and Sokratis were both sent off. :doh:

We get a point for a pelanty loss though so we bow out on 7 points of the all important International Champions Cup. We're four points clear but then most other teams have played only once or in the case of Milan and Atleti, not even at all yet. :lol:

On to the most pub team version of the Emirates Cup we've had.

[dazthegooner]

From what I heard both of their goals came down our right flank we conceded 51 goals last season think our defense can do any worse this year?

[Letters]

On to the most pub team version of the Emirates Cup we've had.
Now with added ladies!

[I am invisible]

On the plus side, this was meant to be Emery trying out his 'team for Newcastle' and there was no Mustafi! Not even after So krates got himself sent off...

[dazthegooner]

Well not in America but we have Lyon today in the Emirate's cup 3.15pm think its on Skysports but will try and stream it from somewhere.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's on Premier Sports to the wish of nobody.

[Master Splinter]

[Master Splinter]

Lacazette goes off injured after 12 minutes. Nelson on.

Still 0-0.

[Master Splinter]

Willock has had three good chances so far.

Should definitely have scored one of them.

The fact that he's always in those positions tells you everything though. Would be really disappointing if he didn't get opportunities this season.

[Master Splinter]

AUBA!!!!

Lovely finish.

[GP]

https://streamja.com/lGze

[Master Splinter]

Nketiah on for Gwen Doozy in the second half.

[Globalgunner]

Tekkers!

[Master Splinter]

Nketiah misses a sitter.

[Master Splinter]

1-1, Dembele.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defending. :bow:

(Haven't seen it).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I've seen it now.

Mkhitaryan's pre-season pressing. :doh:

[Globalgunner]

AMN playing the zombie role again, i hear.

[Master Splinter]

Mkhitaryan, Willock and Chambers off.

Martinelli, Ceballos and Mustafi on.

[SMatthews]

Defending. :bow:

(Haven't seen it).

Haven’t seen much defending either.

[Master Splinter]

Martinelli goal was ruled offside, then Dembele made it 1-2.

[Globalgunner]

Welcome back Arsenal

[Master Splinter]

Auba hits the post.

[Master Splinter]

1-2. FT.

Willock, Auba and Nelson looked good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come back America, all is forgiven.

[Letters]

Wenger Out! :angry:

[Mac76]

Angers have scored already :haha:

[dazthegooner]

Don't believe you not with our rock solid defence... :good:

[SMatthews]

Pretty young team, we’ll probably see the Newcastle line-up against Barca on the weekend.

Martinez, Chambers, Mustafi, Medley, Monreal, Guendouzi, Burton, Martinelli, John-Jules, Nelson, Nketiah

And we’re faicng Jeff today.

Ozil and Kola left out again.

[SMatthews]

Well planned game this to play a bottom half Ligue 1 side and it gives a chance to see if they can crack into the squad for Newcastle. Especially for Medley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This one is on Premier Sports also.

What is the point in Arsenal Player? :lol:

[fakeyank]

Ozil is mentally scarred for 2 more seasons due to the attack

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT. :lol:

[SMatthews]

Auba, Xhaka, and Sokratis on.

Nelson equalises 1-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nelson. :bow:

[Mac76]

Nelson. :bow:

Yes! :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

On to pelanties. :lol:

:unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mkhitaryan blazes it in to the stands. :rolleyes:

Time to leave mate.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez saves from The Jeff.

We win 4-3 on pelanties.

What a win. :bow:

[dazthegooner]

Won 4-3

[dazthegooner]

Mkhitaryan blazes it in to the stands. :rolleyes:

Time to leave mate.
Makes you wonder who got the best deal us or Man U?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The agents.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Post update

Joe Willock FC. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful shot from Griezmann.

[fakeyank]

[fakeyank]

Premier Sports or whatever the fuck that is....

[LDG]

Got it. Found the channel on my android box :dance:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bouncing off Griezmann. :lol:

[SMatthews]

What a finish by Auba!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great pass from Mesut.

[SMatthews]

We’ve been pretty solid so far and took a rare chance clinically.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who is Mykitarin?

[LDG]

Bloody brilliant finish

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Griezmann.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1HT.

End the season now tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ter Stegen, Busquets, Alena, Lenglet, Tobido, Roberto, and Rafinha all on.

Rakitic, De Jong, Umtiti, Perez, Puig, Pique and Neto hauled off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is the commentator for ESPN intentionally pronouncing it Biscuits? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guendouzi on for Nelson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sort it out Chambers.

Augamang with our goal according to this pleb on commentary.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monreal off for Kolasinac.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Le Marseillaise being sung.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dembele hammers it wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chaos in our box. :haha:

Throwing ourselves at it though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno tips over from Alena!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We clear off the line somehow!

Willock. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dembele off for Suarez. Semedo on for Wague. :unsure: Jordi Alba off for Miranda.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wague booked.

Run at him!

[SMatthews]

AMN :doh:

Tries his best but he’s no RB

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 great finish from Maitland-Niles.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos and Saka on to sort this shit out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez dinks it just wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lenglet booked.

Ozil off for Martinelli.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Socrates booked too.

[GP]

So, Ceballos is quite good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good ball from Saka, Auba couldn't get to it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli misses!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi coming on.

[SMatthews]

Suarez feeling the need to dive in a friendly :lol:

[SMatthews]

Then the little shit pops up to score a nice little volley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Didn't take long for Mustafi to fuck it up.

[SMatthews]

Tbf the guy had all day to pick out Suarez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT.

AMN. :doh:

What a berk.

[Globalgunner]

AMN, Mustafi, Xhaka. Mikhi all garbarge. Ozil...expensive shit

[Marc Overmars]

AMN. :haha:

Shite. I think it’s about time he was moved back into midfield.

[I am invisible]

Starting to really feel for AMN now - these defensive lapses look like they’re starting to become a self-fulfilling prophecy with him, and he looks almost resigned to making them when he steps on the pitch.

Such a bizarre OG, too - the softest of soft nudges back to his keeper and even that went about as wrong as it possibly could for him!

[GP]

It's almost as if he isn't a defender.

Maybe we should play one of our other RBs

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Missed the 2nd half - but we looked quite ok in the first period.

Really loving the progression of Nelson and Wilock and hope they can play their part this season. Oh and AMN cannot make it as a defender in a top club if he keeps up with these brain farts. He also needs to learn to smile a bit, at least Eboue had that covered.

Not surprised to hear that someone came in and we let in a goal a minute later. When will we learn !
