3-0 down

Tip, tap...

Kolasanic will get around 38 red cards this coming season, I predict.

Refreshment break!

Again, the kids providing the entertainment, the first team providing the woe and dread for the coming season.

3 mins extra time. Cruel.

FT 3-0 chavs.

We can only pray that absolutely no aspect of that performance is repeated during the season.

Wenger showing again that he's out of ideas, without the slightest clue and probably unaware he needs a clue.

Is this the Charity shield match?. If not then it should be....lets not be embarrassed by the same team twice in a fortnight

It's pre-season

It's pre-season

So what?

We have no tactics. Our fitness levels look shite (compared to an opponent from our own league). We continue to play players out of their natural positions. So what if this is a pre-season? These are all suddenly going to click into place when the season kicks off?

It's this sort of complacency that sees us sleepwalking into a new season and having our arses handed to us by teams that prepare properly.

So I never take results or performances in pre-season seriously. I don't believe there is any correlation between them and the subsequent season, especially now when these tours are merely thinly disguised marketing exercises to increase worldwide fanbase.
