Isn't it a plastic card?

worrying show case of our lack of squad depth in all honesty

Time ticks out, yanks win it.

This was actually quite embarrassing. Even for a friendly, a fucking awful performance by everyone, particularly Cazorla and Rosicky. Didn't expect slick passing and a goalfest, but they couldn't pass 5 yards. Expected them to be short of pace and stamina, of course, but fitness has nothing to do with a complete lack of intelligence. They can't have all forgotten how to play over a summer break, so this was just lazy shit that did no favours for the name of the club and robbed the fans who turned up. Who the hell is going to come back having watched a pile of shit like that?

Pre season is no excuse for a performance like that. Might so harsh but there are at least some basic standards that have to be maintained all the time. We dropped a long, long way below those today. I suppose Diaby had a couple of moments and he didn't get injured which is miraculous. But really, why fly all the way over there and not even try to give the fans something to watch? Complete waste of time.

Glad I didnt fly to NY for this shite. None of the Arsenal players stood out... well, may be Cazorla did, with him pulling back his tummy every time!

Friendlies are garbage, never worth watching.

Another cup chance lost, fuckin chokers, so much for learning how to win- Wenger out :sulk: but on the plus side a nice warm up for the pasting against Northern Red Bulls on the 10th <_<

Yes it is, but remember, Splinter is a double hard ninja bastard.

All Arteta's fault.

Sanogo dreadful.



Koscielny lacking leadership.

Mertesacker just too slow.

Coyle in.

I think we will be the team to beat this season.Weve addressed the striker and defensive midfield deficiencies from last season.
Arteta was a beast.
Sanogo showed why hes a top striker in one of europes elite clubs.
Weve got great depth at centreback.
AKB

Absolute joke.

Guaranteed to finish outside the top 20 this season.
