personally playing football and training in that heat is not my idea of a jolly, however when not training and playing matches, its not that unreasaonable to suggest they could go and enjoy themselves and see the sights of these countries and meet fans who only get to see their club once a year if that.
i dont get you, you pointed it out in a way to suggest you werent happy with it. its clear what you meant by it. you'd be the first person to moan if we stayed in england because we were missing out on commerical markets abroad, and now we go there, its just one big jolly for hte players who probably wont try hard at all
I don't give a sh*t if he's happy, was just replying to the guy who said he looks happy. I can understand why he is that's all.
As for going abroad, again don't really care but you're never going to bust a gut in a pre-season friendly (that was a reply to your comment about playing in the heat) and it is a bit of a jolly. I'm sure they'd rather go abroad to a foreign country than play Barnet and Yeovil, it's like going on holiday.
This tour is meaningless in terms of the season, it's only done for commercial reasons, we've got no new signings to bed in and we're still a way from the start of the season.
sanogo
awful first touch, cant dribble, cant shoot. why the fuck did wenger sign him? he's been woeful so far for us in pre-season.

Arsenal.
Zelalem has some Yank in him too. German/Ethiopian/American hybrids are the future.
Didn't see the full game, but sounds like Giroud looked great. And scored a few too.
Gnabbers has been very raw in every game I've seen him play, but looked like he was effective today. And yes, Eisfeld should be the first name on the team sheet.
Chuba. An actual Dids in the making. Carroll

Poor Ryo got Denilsoned. Was he injured? Or just shit?
There's a long line of pre-season legends, but usually one player seems rejuvenated and full of confidence and takes that immediately into the new season. I'm thinking Oxo or Ramsey this season.
