Emirates Cup thread 3/4 August BT Sports

[Cripps_orig]

Saturday 3rd August 2013
Galatasaray vs FC Porto (2pm)
Arsenal vs Napoli (4:20pm)


Sunday 4th August 2013
Napoli vs FC Porto (2pm)
Arsenal vs Galatasaray (4:20pm)

Possibly the only trophy we'll win.

No a list team this year. I remember tickets being £20 for these couple of years back. Is it likely to be again?

[Injury Time]

£25 lower tier cheapest.

Going on Sunday, with eldest and Dad, plus mate and his family, under family ticket it's £53 for the 3 of us (mate booked it presume lower tier).
Club lvl£39, upper £29-£35

[Cripps_orig]

Going with a few work colleagues on the 4th as well.

Would rather watch Arsenal v Napoli but working.

£25 is alright

[Cripps_orig]

Will miss Saturdays games but going on the Sunday so should see Napoli lifting the trophy

Higuain just been made captain too :trophy: Rafa looks at Wenger :pal:

[Dicks and chicks]

if higuain lifts the emirates cup it would be a dream come true

[Munchies]

if higuain lifts the emirates cup it would be a dream come true

Hope it happens !

[Dicks and chicks]

Thank you for your interest in our forum affairs. KTHXBAI

[Grebbo]

I wonder if there will be some mild protests this weekend? Spend some fucking money chants etc

[LDG]

I wonder if there will be some mild protests this weekend? Spend some fucking money chants etc

The board are money-grabbing ****s, but I can't imagine them singing that at the fans.

[Marc Overmars]

There should be a few noises of discontent but the bulk of the crowd will probably be families and tourists, so it won't be that bad.

It's the Villa game where (if no one has been signed by then) things will heat up.

[Özim]

Hattrick for Higuain just to make Wenger look like even more of a tool than he is?

[Özim]

There should be a few noises of discontent but the bulk of the crowd will probably be families and tourists, so it won't be that bad.

It's the Villa game where (if no one has been signed by then) things will heat up.
Yeah that will last about 2 minutes and then be forgotten.

[BlindFaith_8]

The club is divided to the loyalist's, the blind faith and the completly insane fans who back this man who calls himself a manager, then there is the breakaway republic who want reform and transparency, but I feel we are the minority i really do believe that. Until these dinosaurs who are still living off his past glories join us, then he will forever remain the main man and not inspector clueso.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

The board are money-grabbing ****s, but I can't imagine them singing that at the fans.

:haha:

Yeah, brave face it, and act like we're missing out if we don't scoop the last few tickets in town.

Please be empty :pray:

[Özim]

I remember when we won this trophy and people were looking at it as the start of us picking up silverware again.

It was.

and the end.

[Letters]

Yeah, brave face it, and act like we're missing out if we don't scoop the last few tickets in town.

Please be empty :pray:
Adzz is going :doh:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ahead of this weekend, the Club has also distributed a number of tickets to the Tickets for Troops initiative, as well as other charities and local good causes.

Afghanistan.

And now this.

Poor bastards.

[Injury Time]

Afghanistan.

And now this.

Poor bastards.

Theo to kill three with friendly fire :doh: probably including me<_<

[Cripps_orig]

on the squad for the Emirates Cup...
You will see Sanogo, you will see Cazorla. On Sunday, you will see both of them.
I consider Wilshere now to be completely available and part of the team. Szczesny is alright too.

on Monreal and Vermaelen...
Vermaelen is out for six more weeks [at least before returning to training] and Monreal will start [light] training on Monday. Vermaelen is developing normally but he has a stress fracture in his back which takes time.


Sanogo :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Just realised this is on BT Sports ffs

[Niall_Quinn]

Just realised this is on BT Sports ffs

Got that :coffee:

Galatasaray should have rested the big guns for tomorrow ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eboue with a sliding tackle, crowd cheers. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What an effort from Drogba. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lucho should've scored.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Galatasaray 0-0 Porto, HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sneijder shoots, wide. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And this one too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Gala!

Eboue winning it. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Galatasaray 1-0 Porto, Melo!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arguably the biggest game of the...16.20 kick offs today.

I'm gonna watch it, but shit man. It's sunny outside in the beer garden, and I'm happy.

I'll end up fuming and skint by sitting inside :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McManaman and James in the studio. :lol:

[Rors]

McManaman and James in the studio. :lol:

Scraping the hole where a barrel once stood..

[Rors]

Via what means does everybody have BT Sport, by the way?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Er unpayed. :whistle:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why is David James mentioning Juventus?

[LDG]

Via what means does everybody have BT Sport, by the way?

Pub.

Cricket is on in the garden though. Think I may continue watching tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Running Man is on the pitch. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Owen Hargreaves co-commentating. WTF?

With Ian Darke. Turncoat!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BT's caption says it is Michael Owen co-commentating. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Gnabry!

[Cripps_orig]

Can't have the arsenal player window open and do something else on the net at the same time on an iPad.

Pretty stupid.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

BT's caption says it is Michael Owen co-commentating. :lol:

He was commentating at Anfield.

I wanted to cut myself after 10 minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He was commentating at Anfield.

I wanted to cut myself after 10 minutes.

And after 11 you did cut yourself presumably.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 0-1 Napoli, Insigne. :doh:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And after 11 you did cut yourself presumably.

Nah.

Safety scissors.

[Cripps_orig]

0-1 Napoli

Insigne

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good ball in from Gnabry, Giroud just couldn't get to it though.

[Cripps_orig]

7
GOAL! - Lorenzo Insigne 0 : 1 GOAL: Insigne capitalises on a defensive error and slots the ball past Fabianski


Welcome back defence

[LDG]

Ramsey's "nearly" or "really?" face.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reina. :haha:

Hits it straight to Gnabry, great effort on the lob but over.

[Master Splinter]

Two good chances for Gerrrr Naaabry now.

Reina showing his quality again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PELANTY!

[Master Splinter]

Great decision!

[LDG]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible pelanty, Reina saves it.

[Master Splinter]

Reina showing his 2003 form there.

Podolski you moran. :doh:

[LDG]

I should have stayed outside in the sun watching cricket.

[Master Splinter]

Shocking stuff from our inefficient Germans so far.

[Cripps_orig]

Reina should have been playing for us

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How wasn't that a pelanty to Napoli? :lol:

[LDG]

Fuck off Rafa you fat cunt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 0-2 Napoli, Pandev. Ripped apart tbf.

[LDG]

"We are ready to fight"

[Grebbo]

:haha:

[Grebbo]

New season, same shit

[LDG]

We've been dire so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So close to 0-3.

Us without Arteta. :rose:

[Cripps_orig]

First decent team we have faced this pre season and we are ripped apart.

We don't need players though

:Wenger:

First manager to be sacked cos of a poor showing in the emirates cup?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just wide from Poldi.

[Munchies]

Higuain to score a hattrick and we lose 5-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reina. :lol:

Ramsey. :doh:

HCZ. :rose:

[Rors]

Pub.

Cricket is on in the garden though. Think I may continue watching tbf.

The most acceptable method(s) of all. I can't get it via Virgin Media...

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The most acceptable method(s) of all. I can't get it via Virgin Media...
Still in negotiations with BT to get it.

They'll probably get it before the PL season though.

I've just remembered my avatar :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Ramsey.

[Master Splinter]

Composure from Ramsey in the box!

Offside though. :lol:

[Rors]

Still in negotiations with BT to get it.

They'll probably get it before the PL season though.

I've just remembered my avatar :rose:

I still don't think I'll get it, out of principle. Mainly because it has replaced ESPN Classic :(

*lets SIB get on with changing his avatar..*

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shoot Poldi you berk!

[Master Splinter]

Hargreaves loves Koscielny.

He has good taste.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 HT. Boos ring out.

Arsenal. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

What a cuntish display. Only consolation is the board has hung onto its money, otherwise this would be a disaster.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hey,does cunt work again?

[Master Splinter]

Podolski has been very poor in decisive positions. Wilshere continuing his poor form too. Time to cash in. Gnabry has missed a few but looks composed. Rosicky awlsome. Koscielny is Koscielny.

[Cripps_orig]

Anyone want 4 tickets for tomorrow?

[Niall_Quinn]

:woohoo:

An absolutely essential word for describing our team, manager and board. Finally we can describe them as something other than a bunch of stars, which clearly they aren't.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cunt

[Niall_Quinn]

:woohoo:

[fakeyank]

0-2 HT. Boos ring out.

Arsenal. :lol:

Did the boos really ring out for the Emirates cup?! :lol:

Oh my! RIP Arsenal :rose:

So much positivity :ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Higuain is on for u...Napoli.

Wheelchair missed a sitter earlier.

GW. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud smacks the wall.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

That's a pathetic lack of technique from giroud. Awful FK.

[Master Splinter]

BFG playing the Bergkamp role :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Despite this being the worst performance ever in the history of pre-season, we should have at least five goals now.

Time for some Feo and Ox impact.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sajma and Theo on for Jenkinson and Gnabry.

Not GHELkinson's finest hour today.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nah, this is hugely embarrassing. No points at stake but everything to play for to get us hitting the season start at top speed. But there just isn't enough quality in this squad any more.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

:lol: and people actually paid to go watch this shite tourno?

[Master Splinter]

Koscielny IS flawless, Hargreaves.

[Cripps_orig]

:lol: and people actually paid to go watch this shite tourno?

I know :haha:

Oh...:(

[Niall_Quinn]

Walnut are Giroud are absolute shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Behrami trying to help us out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Put down the hammer Poldi.

[Master Splinter]

Podolski has taken up Gervinho's mantle.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey off, he was our best player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube on for Ramsey, Wheelchair off, Arteta on. Raul Albiol on to kick some heads in.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

is the muslamic 16 year old playing? the one that's supposed to be the new cesc

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Reina. :lol:

Ramsey. :doh:

HCZ. :rose:

I think Wilshere has been taking Ramsey lessons.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Ramsey off, he was our best player.

We must have been playing badly then

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

mugabe re-elected :bow:

wenger tactically outwitted again :bow:

arsenal losing as usual :bow:

society :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on Ox, what's happened to you?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Come on Ox, what's happened to you?

He has come of age and his dad has stopped taking a belt to him

[Master Splinter]

Feo :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dreadful from Theo.

[Niall_Quinn]

The way the crowd gets all excited when walnut gets the ball. Why? Everyone knows what's going to happen next.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud hits it, straight at Reina.

[Munchies]

Ox cost £15m ffs

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Arsenal 0-2 Schalke
Arsenal 0-2 Swansea
Arsenal 0-2 Man City

If this was all script written you'd complain that the plot was too predictable

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GIROUD!!! What a goal!

[GP]

GIROUDD!!!

Quality player.

[Niall_Quinn]

Donkey batters a blind one into the net.

[Master Splinter]

Giroud :bow:.

Theo corner :bow:.

N_Q :haha: :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Or should it be SAGNA!!! Either way, Arsenal. :bow:

[Munchies]

Big Sexy !

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox the new theo?

[Niall_Quinn]

Good cross Sagna. More of those and we can Stoke a result.

[Niall_Quinn]

Goal was sagnas, donkey had battered it wide.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

yippee

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's definitely Sagna's goal, although there might not be a dubious goals panel for the Emirates Cup so it might still go to Big Sexy.

[Cripps_orig]

Sagna :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Donkey blasts it wide, offside anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud misses though he was offside anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hargreaves tearing in to Higuain. :lol:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

what's owen hargreaves' commentary been like? better than stewart robson?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dossena booked. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

what's owen hargreaves' commentary been like? better than stewart robson?

Awful. Which isn't too bad by commentators standards. Earlier Owen was beyond unbearable.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dangerous FK, donkey clears it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good keeping by fab, had to be or it was 1-3

[Munchies]

Lol at donkey

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube shoots, Reina saves.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pods is knackered. Looks desperately unfit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Akpom warming up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great header Merts, great Save Kos scores it. Moment of class that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

KOSCIELNY!!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Kos was sharp there.

[Master Splinter]

Kos with another important goal :bow:.

What a player.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lol, Walcott crams about 9 fuck ups into one short passage of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two added minutes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Kos is a lunatic. He chases everything like his life depends on it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Akpom. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Merts almost gets a head to it. That should be that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did BFG miss that?

[fakeyank]

2-2 FT!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 2-2 Napoli, FT.

Another vital three points for us. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ft 2-2

well done Kos, Merts, Rosicky, Ramsey and Sagna when he came on.

rest of them? Lol

[Master Splinter]

Draw was the least we deserved. Napoli did fuck all apart from the goals. Podolski cost us an easy victory.

Rafa still can't win at Arsenal :lol:.

Higuain was a bit shit.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

come back from two nil down to level as soon as ramsey leaves the pitch....you may think it's a coincidence it's not...

[Niall_Quinn]

Napoli made 237 subs, so a bit hard to say the change in the game was down to Ramsey.

[Newguy]

come back from two nil down to level as soon as ramsey leaves the pitch....you may think it's a coincidence it's not... I was thinking the same thing lol

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

yippee

[Niall_Quinn]

Who is the bloke with the gun on the BT backdrop in the studio?

[Niall_Quinn]

This on the pitch analysis is pure cringe time.

[The Wengerbabies]

Didn't even know about this :lol:

Football :rose:

[KSE Comedy Club]

I'm goin to the game today, takin my boy to see his first live arsenal game!

Lets hope it's a good one!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I'm goin to the game today, takin my boy to see his first live arsenal game!

Lets hope it's a good one!

new generation of Arsenal fans coming through....ones who won't have any illusion about watching their side play attractive football or winning things.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal
Remember, your Tweets will be going on to the big screens inside Emirates Stadium before and during Arsenal's game against Galatasaray this afternoon.

You just need to join the conversation using our Matchday hashtag ‪#‎AFCvGAL‬, and your Tweet might be seen by an extra 60,000 people... Get involved, show your support for the lads!

:lol:

What could possibly go wrong?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:lol:

What could possibly go wrong?
"Spend some fucking money!"

"Resign"

"Why have we still signed no one with 2 weeks left before the season starts?"

"Mr Wenger it's an honour sir. I've been a fan for many years, my question is: Coke or Pepsi?"

I wonder which one would be picked...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

As cynical as it might sound, I think the Coke or Pepsi question might be chosen. Tough call though, I could happily drink both.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Napoli: Rafael, Fernandes, Zuniga, Gamberini, Dossena, Mertens, Dzemailli, Radosevic, Callejon, Pandev, Calaio.

Porto: Helton, Fucile, Mangala, Sandro, Otamendi, Josue, Quintero, Herrera, Fernando, Ghilas, Varela.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Callejon. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

It's impossible to watch a match when Owen keeps talking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Napoli.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Napoli 1-0 Porto, Pandev!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Napoli 1-1 Porto, Ghilas!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was a brilliant attack from Porto.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great double save from Helton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dossena booked, cynical scrote.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Napoli 1-2 Porto, lovely finish for the OG by Fernandez.

Rafa. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dossena. :haha:

Absolute dross.

Napoli 1-3 Porto, Lica.

[GP]

Sanogo starts :popcorn:

[GP]

Szczesny, Jenkinson, Sagna, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Walcott, Sanogo

[GP]

subs: Martinez, Miquel, Koscielny, Zelalem, Podolski, Giroud, Akpom

[Niall_Quinn]

No Kos? That's 75% of our defence missing. Bit of a gamble.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :cloud9:

Galatasaray: Muslera; Melo, Hamit, Elmander, Riera, Umut, Chedjou, Semih, Eboue, Engin, Amrabat

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Napoli 1-3 Porto, FT. Porto go top.

Napoli can't win it.

Rafa. :haha:

We can win it with any (likely) win, I think.

[Master Splinter]

Rafa :haha:.

He has worked his magic on Napoli already. They looked shit yesterday too, apart from the two goals we gifted them.

Higuain :haha:.

Drossena :haha:.

Rafa :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Is Ginter on the bench? Sounds like a really promising young player. Yet another awlsome German in our ranks.

Come on Sanogo. Come on Arsenal. And come on Eboue :bow:.

[Munchies]

Eboue :bow:

[Munchies]

David James :haha:

Fuck off you twat, still has stupid hair

[Munchies]

You can buy class

Stupid banner :lol:

[GP]

Jake Humphrey is a berk.

Gave up travelling the world to sit in a studio with David James :haha:

[Munchies]

Sanogo starting :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pace and passion says McManaman, settling in to cliché land quite well.

[Munchies]

Rather have Eboue upfront than Sanogo

[Munchies]

Sanogo fucked it up

[Munchies]

He's shit, stop hyping him up

[GP]

Rather have Eboue upfront than Sanogo

Brilliant way to get behind our lads :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagan. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Pace and passion says McManaman, settling in to cliché land quite well.

McHansenan :bow:

[GP]

McHansenan :bow:

Did he just call him 'Darkie'?

:doh:

[Munchies]

Albert Riera was pretty decent for Liverpool, why'd they let him go ?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Albert Riera was pretty decent for Liverpool, why'd they let him go ?

Terrible attitude, then threw his toys out of the pram.

But yes, he was decent when he wanted to be.

[Fist of Lehmann]

Napoli 1-3 Porto, FT. Porto go top.

Napoli can't win it.

Rafa. :haha:

We can win it with any (likely) win, I think.

Can't finish any lower than 4th :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rafa on the phone. :popcorn:

[GP]

Rafa on the phone. :popcorn:

Ordering a pizza?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why didn't Theo control it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ordering a pizza?

Can't blame him for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shite from Ramsey.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What's Arteta doing? :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck sake Theo.

[GP]

Holy shit.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Shite from Ramsey.

You mean what he produces every time he's on the pitch?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You mean what he produces every time he's on the pitch?

Well aside from that crossfield pass to Theo a minute ago.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Well aside from that crossfield pass to Theo a minute ago.

I have bowled a strike when i go bowling, doesn't mean i'm not shit at bowling....cos i am!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagna should have left that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanogo nearly there but Chedjou clears.

[Master Splinter]

Theoooooooooo!!!!

[GP]

:lol:

No idea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

THEO!!!!

How has that gone in?! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG sensed it was going in the corner. :bow:

:unsure:

[Master Splinter]

Beaming Wenget smile :bow:.

He's no Welbz though.

[Master Splinter]

Sanogo missed a (offside) sitter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanogo. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT. :bow:

[milla]

Dids :bow:

[milla]

Why didn't Theo control it?

Cos he doesn't know what control is. :coffee:

[Master Splinter]

Sanogo a bit Adebayor/Gervinho-esque at times, but seems to be in the right positions and is linking up well. Decent first 45.

Ramsey/Ox/Sagan playing well. Cazorla became influential as the half went on.

Hope Dids stays on the bench. :upset:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's based on the Amsterdam Tournament, Jake.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sanogo. Looks like a fairly mobile and decent enough striker. Does the basics pretty well. Average and nothing special. Exactly the sort of player we don't need.

Overall the performance has been garbage. Sagna doing okay, other than that nothing of note. Ramsey, Walcott, Ox and Jenks really enjoying the chance to run straight into defenders.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BT have the WUMger armfold at the top of the screen. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dids is coming on, Sneijder on too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Amrabat, Dids was right there.

Eboue with the throughball to Amrabat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube could've stood that up to the far post, great control initially though.

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey seems to have regained control of his feet this season. Pre-assault Ramsey is back.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes, but why is he on the wing? What does Wenger see that convinces him our central players are better on the wing?

[Master Splinter]

Catzola :doh:.

[Master Splinter]

Yes, but why is he on the wing? What does Wenger see that convinces him our central players are better on the wing?

He's not?

It seems to be a free-for-all with Ox, Ramsey and Cazorla just going everywhere.
