Arsenal v Borehamwood- Sat July 19th- KO 3PM

[Munchies]

Arsène Wenger will choose his squad from players who did not participate in the 2014 World Cup. Wojciech Szczesny, Kieran Gibbs, Tomas Rosicky, Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey, Nacho Monreal, Mathieu Flamini, Yaya Sanogo, Abou Diaby and Carl Jenkinson could all feature.

The season starts here :scarf:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Sczency

Jenks
Ormonde-Ottewill
Miguel
Gibbs

Arteta
Flamini
Rosicky


Ryo
Gnabry
Sanago

Bench:Martinez, Bellerin, Nacho, Eisfield, Ramsey, Akpom, Diaby




Worrying lack of CBs.

Possibly try out Nacho there?

[Niall_Quinn]

Must win.

3-0 Ozil hattrick.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Jenkinson has become the 4th choice CB by default, so may as well give him a game there..... and Bellerin can play right back.

The squad looks desperately thin right now but that is to be expected. If Ryo has a future with the club, I'll be damned!

[Bumble]

has Diaby actually made it through the world cup without getting injured....woooow

[Niall_Quinn]

has Diaby actually made it through the world cup without getting injured....woooow

The left him in the cryo chamber for the duration, it was part of the deal with Arsenal.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Was gonna go but £18 a ticket :doh:

Two different teams for each half with no player featuring in the WC starting.


I'm not sure where he's going to find the CB's. :unsure:

I think if we are worrying about who is going to play CB against Borehamwood then there are far larger concerns about the Arsenal squad :)

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Was gonna go but £18 a ticket :doh:

Stop being such a little pre-summer 2013 Wenger ffs.

[Injury Time]

Was gonna go but £18 a ticket :doh:

That's a week salary gone for Arsenal ladies right there, selfish shit #youspendtheygetpaid :sulk:

I was gonna order cheesy bites the other day but went against it :coffee:

[cheesy bites]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanogo is definitely getting his first goal today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal.com can't be bothered to stream a clock or a score.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zelalem's pass to Monreal. :bow:

[Munchies]

Arsenal.com can't be bothered to stream a clock or a score.

didn't even notice it missing :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanogo turns and shoots, scuffs wide.

[GP]

The Postman giving them a torrid time.

[Munchies]

Sanogo surely has to score against Borehamwood?

[Master Splinter]

Sanogo surely has to score against Borehamwood?

He'll deliver today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Putting his stamp on this game already.

[Master Splinter]

Sanogo with a second class finish there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanogo...doesn't score. :(

Ramsey. :haha:

Let's not pub it up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sanogo will never score.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're still hearing nine years without a trophy.

[Munchies]

http://giant.gfycat.com/SpotlessBiodegradableEyra.gif

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We have a score and time! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good block to deny Shakes.

Hayden. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did Sanogo miss that? I mean miss the ball.

[Niall_Quinn]

They certainly know how to play the Arsenal way :doh:

I know it's the first game of pre-season but somebody do something! Just for a laugh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Zelalem.

[Munchies]

Ozil anonymous so far

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disgusting challenge from that pubber on Coquelin.

Sanogo nearly. Maybe.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good lad Coquelin - no play acting. Can you imagine if that was Robben :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil anonymous so far

He's doing his job - stealing a living.

[Master Splinter]

Karl Henry comes off worse after his dirty lunge at Coquelin.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sanogo almost cut through the defence there, like a knife made from butter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That would have been Goal of the Century by Sanogo, unfortunately it was blocked as soon as he struck it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey still on holibops

[Niall_Quinn]

Nacho defending at both ends :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey with his first of 209434094394940 shots this season, wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

How many seasons did Sanogo win?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Toral hits the post! Sanogo denies a magnificent assist.

[Master Splinter]

Toral :doh:.

[Munchies]

http://giant.gfycat.com/HoarsePlayfulBilby.gif

[Master Splinter]

Sanogo enveloped by too many defenders there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm beginning to think my faith in Sanogo's potential goalscoring prowess may have been an overestimation.

[Munchies]

http://giant.gfycat.com/ElectricSolidBirdofparadise.gif

Sannogo is shite

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanogo finds the target! I mean the keeper.

[Munchies]

We started this guy against Bayern Munich in the champions league.

Yaya Sanogo.

[Master Splinter]

Once Sanogo gets a goal, he'll go mental.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sanogo telegraphed that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin's header away. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey Sanogos it well wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-0 Not really a classic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. What a stinker.

[Master Splinter]

Sanogo will become a better finisher over time. It's part and parcel of his learning curve.

[Master Splinter]

Much better than Argentina v Holland though.

[Syn]

Haven't been watching this but on Sanogo, the weirdest part is that he can't strike a ball properly. If someone is willing to pay you money to be a striker, you'd think having snap shots on goal is second nature to him advancing through the youth stages. Joel Campbell, for example, doesn't have many other qualities but he can leather it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Here's the other side of the Puma coin - a shit arse boring mini-documentary during the half time break. Watching this will make the second half seem exciting so it serves a purpose.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fashion break :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Lots of players off, lots of other players on, including Diaby, Flamini and Rosicky.

[GP]

Diaby had his own special kit made

He knocked at the door a few times but failed to deliver.

[Niall_Quinn]

Must be a PEN! :doh:

What a fucking useless ref!

CUNT REF!

That was a fucking pen!

[Niall_Quinn]

If we end up losing this then thanks a lot to the ref - he's done his job well. Talk about taking bungs.

[Niall_Quinn]

Flam notches his first victim.

[Master Splinter]

Now their keeper is being allowed to waste as much time as he wants.

Corruption :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OLSSON!!!!

[A Gunner]

1 - 0 Rosicky Assist, Olsson great finish

[Niall_Quinn]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAA LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Olsson

1-0 to the Arsenal!

[Munchies]

What a pass :tiphat:

PELANTY!

Afobe scores

[Master Splinter]

Chuba is awlsome.

[Niall_Quinn]

0-2 Arsenal Afobe pen.

Why are we even thinking about Sanogo when Afobe and Akpom are already 10 times better? It's hard to explain the Sanogo thing.

[Unai Tea]

0-2 Arsenal Afobe pen.

Why are we even thinking about Sanogo when Afobe and Akpom are already 10 times better? It's hard to explain the Sanogo thing.

He's Wenger's love child

[Niall_Quinn]

That was a foul throw FFS!

Ref :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 0-2 Boreham Wood SMASHED!

Easy, easy, easy!

[Master Splinter]

Flamini our new manager :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our winning streak goes on.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Sanogo :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

If Wenger ends up being right about Sanogo it'll be the greatest piece of talent spotting in the history of football.

[AFC Leveller]

If Wenger ends up being right about Sanogo it'll be the greatest piece of talent spotting in the history of football.

I thought proving us wrong with Song was already brilliant but if he does anything close to that with Sanogo then really, he should have a fre ride with unknowns.

However, Sanogo is awful, really bad at everything he should be good at.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I think he is just so not ready for this level of football that it is difficult to see any obvious talent at the moment coming to the fore. Perhaps his size has encouraged people otherwise that he is ready for this level, but sometimes that is not a good barometer.

I reserve judgement for now, but whatever his actual ability, it is clear he shouldn't really be close to the first team if we are being honest.
