Three or four players here or there could provide the odd moment that makes not being in a coma worthwhile, but is it really worth all the waste of time and money. Plus our players could get injured so from an Arsenal fan's point of view, what exactly is the point of this ridiculous tournament? Okay, it generates cash for a bunch of greedy cunts who already have a lot of cash. Other than the obvious though. What's the point?
