And Ramsey.
That's pretty damn good.
Coquelin's lost the ball cheaply 2 or 3 times now
Who?
Miquel hits the bar!
Miquel has really beefed up
Why are most of our players wearing fluorescent yellow boots?
Coquelin hits the post!
Cazorla. :bow:
Fantastic football. Deserved a goal.
Almost perfect
Arsenal 5-1 Benfica, FT. That should be the Emirates Cup coming home. :scarf:
Thank fuck I put a tenner on Sanogo scoring 4.
Entertaining football :bow:
Goals scored in the Emirates Cup:
Yaya Sanogo - 4
Joel Campbell - 1
Cristiano Ronaldo - 0
Lionel Messi - 0
Robin van Persie - 0
Says it all, I'm afraid.
5 points clear at the top with one game to go and we don't have Stevie Me in the squad!
It's coming home.
The Emirates cup is coming home :bow::bow:
Winners :bow:
Charmers interview. :bow:
Pires will be in the studio for Monaco game.
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.
Two I reckon, not predicated on what happens with Vermaelen. I believe what Wenget says now.

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.
:haha:
Still a psychopath.

Glad I can say that about Arsenal again.
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 looked good....going forward but really shaky when defending.
Needs to work on that.
Keown's by far the best ex-Arsenal pundit around. Usually spot on with his comments.
Campbell :bow:
Sanchez clearly going to be playing as a striker :bow:
8 points after 1 game. Maths :bow:
Benfica 1-0 Valencia, Derley.
Benfica 1-1 Valencia, Gaya. :bow:
Team news out.
JT starts.
Sanchez on right.
Giroud up top.
Benfica 1-2 Valencia, Piatti!
Valencia currently on the same points as us. :popcorn:
Benfica 1-3 Valencia, Guardado. :blink:
A bit of a late question but's the deal with Valencia and Monaco's shirt sponsorships?
Valencia 3 Benfica 1 FT.
Benfica still favourites for the Portuguese title according to BT Sports.
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.
