In response to the Arsenal video the New York Red Bulls have done their own one imitating English accents.

We don't need a striker...

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Is this being shown on TV?

[Thierrymon]

Just discovered this is on tv over here :woohoo:

On ESPN though so it will be like I am watching it under water. Plus they will have shitty commentators.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Is this being shown on TV?

It will be on Premier Sports - Sky Channel 428. I have this channel because they broadcast the NHL.

[Master Splinter]

Chuba to school Henry tbf.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Rosicky up front.

Monreal at centre back.

:dunce:

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal Starting XI vs. RBNY: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Hayden, Monreal, Gibbs, Ramsey, Wilshere, Zelalem, Arteta, Cazorla, Rosicky

RBNY Starting XI vs. Arsenal: Robles, Duvall, Olave, Sekagya, Miller, Sam, Cahill, McCarty, Oyongo, Wright-Phillips, Henry


Ramsey up front :bow:. Possibly.

[GP]

Wright-Phillips? :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Livestream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEQNc2VwBcc

UEFA :bow:. Always rated them.

[Master Splinter]

Wright-Phillips? :lol:

The less shit younger brother.

Scintillating form for the mighty Red Bulls tbf.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Wenger out

[Niall_Quinn]

They've decided to start the stream after the kickoff? I prefer the old way.

[Master Splinter]

Police activity delaying the kick-off.

Ozil stealing another Cup?

[Niall_Quinn]

Livestream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEQNc2VwBcc

UEFA :bow:. Always rated them.

Fake - didn't fool me for a minute!

[Master Splinter]

Cahill to maim Ramsey?

Most likely Diaby tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

This works (got to click all the stupid ads off first though)

[Niall_Quinn]

Ches :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Szczesny saves from Henry!

Henry :lol:.

[Master Splinter]

Decent shot from Cazorla.

[Master Splinter]

Bradley Shite-Phillips just wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dirty yanks fouling already.

[GP]

Jack :bow:

[GP]

Jack kicking arse

[GP]

Sorry, ass

[Niall_Quinn]

Incredibly biased ref gives FK against us.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some of our guys don't look match fit :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Super Ramsey, just wide.

[Munchies]

Henry still looks like the best player on the pitch, bring him back!

[Niall_Quinn]

Gibbs has opted out of defending today I see.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

why the fuck do they have so much space on our left hand side

[Master Splinter]

Henry takes out Wilshere.

Send him off!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

cazorla, you chorizo munching fuck

[Niall_Quinn]

Santi hasn't really been on form for half his Arsenal career now, unfortunately the latter half.

[Master Splinter]

Cahill is apparently playing.

Hard to notice when he's not heading one in or thugging it up.

[Thierrymon]

wright-philips. 1-0 to red bull.

[Master Splinter]

1-0 Red Bulls.

Wright-Phillips continues his stunning form :bow:.

[Niall_Quinn]

:doh:

Yanks 1 - 0 Arsenal plus the geezers claiming to be our defence 0

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger :haha:

For God's sake GO NOW!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Really looking forward to mounting a title challenge with Arteta in the side

[Xhaka Can’t]

Why did Jack just stand there watching from the post.

Our defending is a horror show.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why did Jack just stand there watching from the post.

He was on a ciggie break.

[GP]

Why did Jack just stand there watching from the post.

Our defending is a horror show.

Strange, you'd expect a centre back pairing of Monreal and Hayden to be rock solid.

[Niall_Quinn]

I'm rapidly losing patience with Ozil. Don't think he's had a touch.

[Master Splinter]

We'll win nothing with Wenger.

[Thierrymon]

Really nice move. Wilshere almost makes it 1-1.

[Thierrymon]

Henry :bow: still got it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jack with 11 chances to shoot, chooses 12th, but keeper saves it.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Strange, you'd expect a centre back pairing of Monreal and Hayden to be rock solid.

Exactly.

[Niall_Quinn]

America - a whole world of acronyms

MLS VS EPL ON ESPN :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

I'm rapidly losing patience with Ozil. Don't think he's had a touch.

I've been impressed with the way he has ghosted down the middle

[Niall_Quinn]

So if the Red Bulls win the MLS are Germany still the world champions?

[Niall_Quinn]

Santi is playing like a (...please provide your answer here...)

[GP]

So if the Red Bulls win the MLS are Germany still the world champions?

'Murica

[Xhaka Can’t]

So if the Red Bulls win the MLS are Germany still the world champions?

Nope, everyone knows its the Red Sox,

[Thierrymon]

Cahill crunches Wilshere.

[Master Splinter]

There's that scrote Cahill.

[Niall_Quinn]

+1 min overtime

Cahill manages to get booked in a friendly kickabout.

[Thierrymon]

1-0 to Red Bulls HT

[Master Splinter]

Awful half.

Can see us finishing outside the top 4 again.

Sign some fucking players Wenger.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 1-0 USA

Wright-Phillips with awesome scrambled effort.

Our defenders :doh:

Ramsey's hair :doh:

Ozil :doh:

Mert's pace on their goal :doh:

[I am invisible]

Do we have and strikers playing? Or wingers? Or CBs?

[Niall_Quinn]

Do we have and strikers playing? Or wingers? Or CBs?

Not so far. Akpom will probably come on at some point.

[Niall_Quinn]

NYCFC - owned by the gypos and Lumpard has just signed for them - what's not to love?

[GP]

NYCFC - owned by the gypos and Lumpard has just signed for them - what's not to love?

Anal polyps

[I am invisible]

Not so far. Akpom will probably come on at some point.
Sounds like a real treat for our US fans...

[Niall_Quinn]

Anal polyps

Still don't know why they picked that as their nickname

[Niall_Quinn]

Sounds like a real treat for our US fans...

It's being played like a pre-season friendly.

[Niall_Quinn]

American ads :bow:

Bigger and badder (really, really badder) than even UK ads.

[Niall_Quinn]

Akpan on for Wright-Phillips - who?

[Niall_Quinn]

No changes for us.

[Niall_Quinn]

No changes for us.

EDIT: Yes, subs, commentators didn't bother mentioning we'd changed 3 players.

[Syn]

Arsenal's official twitter feed:


Rosicky does another of those looking-the-other-way passes, it's intercepted, and the half-time whistle blows 0-1 (45)

:lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Akpom, Diaby and somebody else on. Akpom almost scores with first touch.

Strikers :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

7 changes, it now emerges.

Just the whole team then, hardly worth mentioning.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cazorla has been utter shit - even by friendly standards. WTF is wrong with the guy?

Henry off to a standing ovation :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Good finish by Diaby - but offside.

[Syn]

Cazorla has been utter shit - even by friendly standards. WTF is wrong with the guy?

I don't care if he never puts in a decent performance in an Arsenal shirt again. That free-kick secures his hero status.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Santi concentrating too hard on holding his gut in for the free kicks.

[Niall_Quinn]

FYI - Focus and Clarity - The feeling you get from Five Hour Energy(TM)

[Niall_Quinn]

Cahill off - almost as anonymous as Ozil

[Niall_Quinn]

I hope we're planning on winning this at some point.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Martinez really knows where the goal is.

[Niall_Quinn]

Corner :haha: Their refs are worse than ours.

[Thierrymon]

This is game is quite shite.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's twice Coquelin has looked completely clueless with the ball at his feet. He's gone backwards by the look of it.

[Niall_Quinn]

This has degenerated into a lower pub league affair.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Arteta was letting a 36 year old Henry breeze past him.

I know it's a friendly but fuck me, he's shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Very poor by Chuba. Just a friendly but the quality on display from us is frighteningly low all over the pitch.

[Niall_Quinn]

A moment of proper football from the yanks. Header over the bar, good move though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck - that's woeful from Diaby. It's woeful from all of them. Let's hope the main men stay fit or we're fucked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Only 5 or 6 mins left to complete a pass.

[Niall_Quinn]

Flamini, Gibbs, Akpom and Diaby combine to produce a passage of stunning shit on the edge of the box.

[adzzzbatch]

This has been 2 hours of my life I'm never getting back.

[Niall_Quinn]

That was a pretty horrendous dive by Akpom - he needs to cut that shit right out.

Seriously dreadful FK from Olsson.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Well, Diaby managed to avoid injury.

[Master Splinter]

I'm ripping up my season ticket.

All Arteta's fault.

Sanogo dreadful.

Koscielny lacking leadership.

Mertesacker just too slow.

Coyle in.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I'm ripping up my season ticket.


Isn't it a plastic card?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

worrying show case of our lack of squad depth in all honesty

[Niall_Quinn]

Time ticks out, yanks win it.

This was actually quite embarrassing. Even for a friendly, a fucking awful performance by everyone, particularly Cazorla and Rosicky. Didn't expect slick passing and a goalfest, but they couldn't pass 5 yards. Expected them to be short of pace and stamina, of course, but fitness has nothing to do with a complete lack of intelligence. They can't have all forgotten how to play over a summer break, so this was just lazy shit that did no favours for the name of the club and robbed the fans who turned up. Who the hell is going to come back having watched a pile of shit like that?

Pre season is no excuse for a performance like that. Might so harsh but there are at least some basic standards that have to be maintained all the time. We dropped a long, long way below those today. I suppose Diaby had a couple of moments and he didn't get injured which is miraculous. But really, why fly all the way over there and not even try to give the fans something to watch? Complete waste of time.

:gp:

Glad I didnt fly to NY for this shite. None of the Arsenal players stood out... well, may be Cazorla did, with him pulling back his tummy every time!

[Marc Overmars]

Friendlies are garbage, never worth watching.

[Injury Time]

Another cup chance lost, fuckin chokers, so much for learning how to win- Wenger out :sulk: but on the plus side a nice warm up for the pasting against Northern Red Bulls on the 10th <_<

[Injury Time]

Isn't it a plastic card?

Yes it is, but remember, Splinter is a double hard ninja bastard.

[saintnickle]

I'm ripping up my season ticket.

All Arteta's fault.

Sanogo dreadful.



Koscielny lacking leadership.

Mertesacker just too slow.

Coyle in.

I think we will be the team to beat this season.Weve addressed the striker and defensive midfield deficiencies from last season.
Arteta was a beast.
Sanogo showed why hes a top striker in one of europes elite clubs.
Weve got great depth at centreback.
AKB

[Kano]

Absolute joke.

Guaranteed to finish outside the top 20 this season.

[Injury Time]

Absolute joke.

Guaranteed to finish outside the top 20 this season.

Özil was invisible :sulk: anyway did we win on a recount?
