Emirates Cup 30/31 July

[Cripps_orig]

ESPN are to screen this years Emirates Cup pre-season curtain-raiser to be held on Saturday 30th July and Sunday 31st July.
Joining the Gunners at Emirates Stadium for this summer’s tournament will be three high profile teams from around the world – the New York Red Bulls, Paris St. Germain and Argentina’s Boca Juniors.
The tournament consists of four games with the first at 2pm on Saturday 30th July with Thierry Henry’s New York Red Bulls taking on Paris Saint-Germain, followed at 4.20pm with the hosts Arsenal playing Boca Juniors.
Sunday’s fixtures also start at 2pm, when Paris Saint-Germain take on Boca Juniors. Arsenal and New York Red Bulls will bring the competition to an exciting climax, kicking off the final match at 4.20pm on Sunday afternoon.
Teams will be awarded three points for a win and one point for a draw. The competition also rewards attacking play, with teams being awarded one point for each goal they score. In addition, shots on target will be counted and will be used to decide the tournament winners if teams are level on points and goal difference. The winning team will be presented with the Emirates Cup trophy after the second match on Sunday 31st July.
Arsenal Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis said: “We’re delighted and proud to once again be hosting the Emirates Cup this summer. Over the previous four years, the Emirates Cup has proved to be an overwhelming success and a thoroughly enjoyable weekend of football.
“Nearly half a million supporters have now come to Emirates Stadium to attend the Emirates Cup in the four years, and the tournament is now recognised around the world as a prestigious pre-season event.
“Emirates Airline has been the proud sponsor of the Emirates Cup since the inaugural tournament in 2007 and we’re obviously delighted that they have decided to continue with this successful partnership.
“New York Red Bulls, Boca Juniors and Paris Saint-Germain are three clubs with great players and huge followings, and they are sure to make Emirates Cup 2011 a hugely exciting weekend of football. Also, I’m sure all Arsenal fans will be looking forward to welcoming back Thierry Henry – a true Arsenal legend.”

[Injury Time]

Must wins tbh, Wenger out if we don't win the most important cup of the year :sulk:
No not planning on going, only 31 days away, comes around quickly!

[Marc Overmars]

The first couple were a novelty and we had some decent teams.

Now it's a bit shit.

[Boss]

Tbf PSG have a shitload of money so hopefully they'll sign a few decent players before them (Hazard or Pastore should be going to them), NY will see the return of Henry and although Boca are relatively garbage we'll get to see Riquelme plodding around.

A must watch, tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

The only reason they invited New York Yankees whatever is cos Henry plays for them and Arsenal hope he can pull in the fans cos they know the fans are restless now and the attendance would have been nowhere near as huge as previous years without the Henry factor

Are you going to it?

[Boss]

Are you going to it?

Inshallah bruv.

About 95% assuming they don't reject my visa application cos they think I'm a terrorist

[Joker]

Our best chance of silverware this season.

[WMUG]

Boca aren't shit are they? The others are, tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Think they were invited more on reputation than anything else

[Kaiser]

Boca have Riquelme but not Palermo anymore.
NYRB have Henry, Marquez, Agudelo, and mini-Shrek.
PSG are rich now so could bring a whole host of signings like Gameiro, and maybe Leonardo will play too.
Arsenal have Carl Jenkinson :bow:

[Justhandguns]

Just a quick question, anyone of you have received the tickets already? I booked it online and I still have not received anything!

[Letters]

Just a quick question, anyone of you have received the tickets already? I booked it online and I still have not received anything!

Nope, not got the tickets yet.

[Boss]

Do you get tickets by post or by email?

Booking now for the Emirates Cup and the Benfica game, if it's by post I'll give a UK address.

[Letters]

Post. Which day of the Emirates Cup are you going? If it's Sunday then you might get to meet me, you lucky thing :o

[Boss]

Both days.

Day 1 I'm in North Bank Lower and Day 2 I'm in Clock End Lower.

GW Meet? ##

[Letters]

Sounds like a plan :cheers:

You'll get to meet MrsL too, you lucky thing!

[Kaiser]

Got my tickets for the Sunday, upper tier of North Bank, I think. Going with a few mates to the game but I think a GW meet-up with Teggers is a must-attend. Owe you a long-awaited pint for sorting out my site.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Couldnt give a flying fuck tbh.

Even less so now that its on ESPN - dogshit channel.

[Letters]

:cheers:

[QUOTE=Letters (TPFKA WWTL@WHL);22875]You still got my number? I have yours. Think the plan is to meet between the two games? Someone let me know where people will be and we'll come and stalk you.

:unsure:

[Kaiser]

I've got a new number. Will PM you.

[Elreactor]

Will you pay to see Boca??

To be honest, I fear for Arsenal this time.:sleep:

Will Nasri and Fabregas be fit to play? :wave:

[Cripps_orig]

Both will be fit.

Neither will play though

[Cripps_orig]

Cesc left out of the Emirates Cup squad cos he isnt settled

Cunt

[Master Splinter]

Cesc left out of the Emirates Cup squad cos he isnt settled

Cunt

:gp:

Your best post ever tbh.

Ryo ruled out because of permit stuff too, I think.

Someone needs to be shot if he doesn't get a permit tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

New York v PSG in a couple of hours if anyone cares

[Master Splinter]

PSG should be interesting to watch.

They have alot of FM Legends and Arsenal-Bound According To Tabloids And Sky Sources Legends.

Some of their recent signings might not be there though.


New York Red Bulls are the main draw though, of course.

They have Teemu Tainio and Wazza's brother John.

[Master Splinter]

PSG team:

Sirigu - Jallet, Bisevac, Sakho ©, Landre - Ménez, Bodmer, Matuidi, Bahebeck - Erding, Luyindula.

NY Red Bulls team:

Rost - Mendes, Ream (c), Miller, Albright, Solli - Tainio, McCarty, Richards, Lindpere - Agudelo.

[Cripps_orig]

No Henry?

Henry :pal:

[Master Splinter]

Lindpere scores for the Red Bulls.

[Master Splinter]

Keown and Savage on ESPN.

Has Keown left the Beeb?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Savage for that matter. :lol:

Not sure, they might just be there because the BBC haven't got anything to show at the moment.

[Master Splinter]

Finished 1-0 to Red Bulls.

Arsenal v Boca Juniors on now.

Team: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Djourou, Traore, Frimpong, Wilshere, Nasri, Gervinho, Arshavin, Van Persie (C).

Subs: Sagna, Vela, Ramsey, Song, Squillaci, Mannone, Eboue, Gibbs, Chamakh, Afobe, Bartley.

[Master Splinter]

Wilshere fouled in the box.

Refs already denying us pels.

[gunnerrrrr]

why does that cunt Burnely always commentate on our games the phaggot

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We should've had a pelanty early on I think. Ah, I guess all that buffering has left me a minute behind. :lol:

[gunnerrrrr]

Wilshire is going to hit that world class bracket this year

[Thierrymon]

Shoulda had a pen in the first minute.

excellent tackle by Koz to prevent a 1 on 1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Koscielny. :bow:

[gunnerrrrr]

Frimfrong over Song...inderesting

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good stuff from Gervinho again.

[WengerISaLizard]

An arsenal player just took on a defender, i can get used to this

Gervinho :bow:

[Thierrymon]

remember when RVP was good at free kicks?

[Master Splinter]

Atkinson is awful, even in pre-season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jenkinson. :bow:

Give them a good kicking. That's the way.

[Master Splinter]

Gervinho getting constantly GHELled.

[Master Splinter]

Leonardo :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Frimpers doing well.

Jenko playing well again too.

[Thierrymon]

:yawn:

[GunnerFan4Life]

why we wearing our blue kit?

[Master Splinter]

RVP!!!!!!!

Gervinho :bow:

[Thierrymon]

RvP, nice finish.

Good work Gervy

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP! :bow:

That was a great goal.

[Master Splinter]

Samosa GHELs Wilshere and gets booked.

[The Realist]

Gervinho looks a livewire and direct, not only that he actually looks an intelligent player. Has to be ahead of Walcott in the pecking order.

[Master Splinter]

Frimpong is a bit of a bastard.

Hope he adapts quickly to the PL.

[Master Splinter]

Samosa hates Wilshere :lol:.

[Thierrymon]

Samosa should have been sent off a couple of times now already.

[Master Splinter]

RVP's free kicks are officially worse than Fabregas' now.

[The Realist]

hows does are defence look?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal.

:bow:

[WengerISaLizard]

that harry rednapp fantasy football advert :lol:

[Joker]

Someone should take over from RVP on freekick duties.

[Joker]

Koscielny's technique and interception ability is so good, it's a shame he's capable of such defensive brain farts.

[Master Splinter]

Koscielny's technique and interception ability is so good, it's a shame he's capable of such defensive brain farts.

That pretty much sums up our team for the last half a decade doesn't it? :lol:

[Joker]

That pretty much sums up our team for the last half a decade doesn't it? :lol:

Unfortunately true.

[Darth Vela]

hows does are defence look?

Quite good on set-pieces but the high line has been exposed once or twice, not bad overall.

[Thierrymon]

BOOOOOOOOOOM sexy goal

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey!!!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Mannone on for Fabianski.

Squillaci on for Koscielny.

Ramsey on for Wilshere.

Vela on for Gervinho.

Chamakh on for RVP.

[GunnerFan4Life]

Vela has arrived :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I missed the goal. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Loads of good balls into the box by Jenkinson today, but as usual, no-one attacks them.

[GunnerFan4Life]

jenkinson looks like he can cross.

arshy looks skinny!

[The Realist]

Yellow card to Jaun

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great turn from Arshavin, shame nothing came of it.

[The Realist]

anyone got any good streams mines just died :banghead:

[Master Splinter]

2-1.

Great strike from Viatri.

[The Realist]

Lol guess who gives the ball away.

[Master Splinter]

Eboue on for Arshavin.

:unsure:

[WengerISaLizard]

same old squidditch, what a pleb

[Joker]

Squillaci is so shit it's unbelievable.

[Master Splinter]

:haha:

2-2.

Djourou :doh:

Arsenal are back :bow:.

[Young Guns 11]

lol

[The Realist]

Typical Arsenal...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal. :doh:

[Joker]

Djourou you fucking twat.

We need at least two new defenders next season, no question about it.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Djourou you fucking twat.

We need at least two new defenders next season, no question about it.


Yep if AW can't see that now he really does have a problem tbh

[Master Splinter]

Brain farts out of nothing our undoing again.

We should just give the opposition two free goals every game from the start.

[Marc Overmars]

It's only a friendly but still...

Arsenal. :haha:

[The Realist]

This "shots on target" crap to decide the final standings is just stupid.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This "shots on target" crap to decide the final standings is just stupid.

Why, because it won't actually help us? :ninja:

[Master Splinter]

Cesc straight swap with Riquelme imo tbh tbf.

[The Realist]

We've lost all our direction since Wilshere/ RVP/ Gervinho went off.

Nobody is bossing midfield and play has become lazy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 full time.

:doh:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

We've lost all our direction since Wilshere/ RVP/ Gervinho went off.

Nobody is bossing midfield and play has become lazy.

Story of the last 6 seasons tbh, soon as the good players go of this lot become shite.

Wenger take note

[Joker]

Again, some of our reserve/squad players not stepping up and giving the manager a selection headache. Chamakh looked shit as usual, losing the ball regularly, Squillaci with his customary cock up, Vela was anonymous apart from that dribble for the goal etc etc. Our squad is no where near strong enough at the moment, and it's really worrying. Not only do we have to shift the deadwood out, we need to replace them with quality, and we're running out of time.

[The Realist]

I still think we need a new CB, LB and DM, our defence is just too frail!

[fari]

missed the game. just saw highlights on rojadirecta. what do u guys think of the performance bearing in mind it is only a friendly

[Joker]

missed the game. just saw highlights on rojadirecta. what do u guys think of the performance bearing in mind it is only a friendly

Pretty crap on the whole. Only positives are Gervinho and Jenkinson. Squillaci and Djourou screwed up again, showing how badly we need new defenders. Chamakh did sweet FA, showing how weak our striking options are, and Nasri looked completely disinterested. So all in all, a shit performance that doesn't bode well for the start of the season.

There was also some booing at the ground, showing how angry many fans are at the current state of play.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fatigue set in, we lacked a little bit of sharpness. But overall it was a professional performance, lots of spirit and togetherness. We were very secure at the back and very unlucky to give away two gaols like a cheap crack whore gives it up for a fix. We looked sharp up front, especially when Chamakh and Vela came on, they did as well as a pair of aids-ridden faggots at a KKK meet-up. Bodes well, I can see us triumphing this season, I think we'll go all the way and take 4th place in style. It's on.

LMAO:dancingman:

[Elreactor]

While Fabregas was applauding RVP´s goal with a solemn face, Vela was looking at him and then turned, with a face like "as if you cared for that goal, cunt"

Vela :bow:

[Kano]

no that was only directed at nasri, nowhere else.

not many prem teams will be threading balls through as boca did on many an occasion. interesting to note arshavin say in the programme they have been working on defending set pieces. remains to be seen during the season.

[Niall_Quinn]

While Fabregas was applauding RVP´s goal with a solemn face, Vela was looking at him and then turned, with a face like "as if you cared for that goal, cunt"

Vela :bow:

I saw that too. It's hard to imagine any of the players are too chuffed with Cesc sitting out the pre-season waiting to see if he can fuck off or not. Certainly a different way for a club captain to go.

[Seaman's Ponytail]

Well just woken up down under and finished watching the game. 10 thoughts thus far -
1. With so many goals scored in the PL from set pieces (mainly against us...) why the fuck don't we buy someone who can deliver with quality. RVP and Nasri's were both utter shite. How many times can you hit the same ball and fail to beat the 1st man?
2. Squid should never be allowed to disgrace the shirt again
3. Jenkinson was promising, he'll be a good back-up for Sagna
4. Squid should never be allowed to disgrace the shirt again
5. Frimpong highly promising, good competition for Song
6. Squid should never be allowed to disgrace the shirt again
7. Gervinho looks alright, nice to see someone take players on
8. Squid should never be allowed to disgrace the shirt again
9. Sell the disinterested cunts (Cesc and Nasri) and buy quality CB's and someone who can take a set piece (there's no new revelations there...)
10. Squid should never be allowed to disgrace the shirt again

[Cripps_orig]

Same shit, different seasonWenger just go

[Cripps_orig]

As for people saying its only a friendly, it was only friendlies last summer and all those problems spilled over to the season cos Wenger doesnt know or doesnt care enough to fix them.

Same will happen again.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Well it is only a friendly loosing the emirates come don't mean shit to me tbh, End of the day it showed us out 1st 11 is good but our 2nd string once again is shit.

Wenger is a mug if he don't get in replacements before the window closes tbh.

[Boss]

Are GWers still meeting each other or what :unsure:

I'll be sitting in the West End Lower so if it is close enough I'll try and come

[Japan Shaking All Over]

just watched the highlights FFS

if that was not the most black and white reason for us yo buy not just 1 but 2 CBs, I dont know what is!
we cannot go into the new campaign lining up like that. . . .EVER
unless we get drawn Dagenham at home in the FAC and even then I intend to watch the game through the fingers that are coverong y eyes. . .I can just about bear JD but Squid can fuck off!
How many times are we going to see our goalie look in bewilderment at the crap in front of him

[Master Splinter]

PSG 2-0 up.

Title's ours tbh.

[milla]

Keown doesnt look GHEL at all, very smart and articulate. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry.

:bow:

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal team: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Song, Wilshere, Ramsey, Rosicky, Gervinho, Van Persie.

Subs: Nasri, Vela, Djourou, Fabianski, Arshavin, Jenkinson, Eboue, Chamakh, Afobe, Frimpong, Bartley

Gervinho :bow:

Our best team apart from Rosicky really.

[The Realist]

Henry what a GHEL !! :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Two Barca scumbags on the pitch.

More importantly though, Teemu Tainio :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No Squillaci at all. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Gervinho defending :lol:.

[The Realist]

Wilshere limping

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere off, Afobe on.

[Master Splinter]

Wilshere is a GHEL, so it shouldn't be a worry.

Afobe :bow:

[Keith]

JW off, add him to the list

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Close from Henry.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shuahydgdty denies Henry's freekick.

[WengerISaLizard]

Henry showing RVP how to get freekicks on target

[The Realist]

what position is Gibbs playing?

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey skies it. :doh:

[The Realist]

Is Ramsey trying to stake a case for being the striker when RVP is injured?!

[The Realist]

That was SO a penalty for me.

[Master Splinter]

Is Ramsey trying to stake a case for being the striker when RVP is injured?!

RVP seems to be staking his claim for Fabregas' position, so maybe.

Afobe looks good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho is everywhere. In a good a way, that is.

[Master Splinter]

Pires is there :bow:.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Just put the game on.

I take it its been shit so far as the crowd are doing a wave and the commentator seems to be interested in it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn it! This is utter shit. 40 minutes that seemed like 10 hours. Utter garbage. Even though it's a friendly, is it still okay to play this badly?

[Master Splinter]

Rvp!!!!

[The Realist]

finally someone else is taking the freekick

[The Realist]

Goal !!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rvp!!!

[Master Splinter]

Gervinho should have made it 2-0.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking hell, at last. Some passing, some pace.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The FIFA goal lay-off was there for Gervinho.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 half time.

[Niall_Quinn]

Very ordinary team. That lot from New York are nothing special either.

[The Realist]

The FIFA goal lay-off was there for Gervinho.

you mean the 'Jew goal' ##

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RvP's chocolate leg was back a few minutes ago.

[Master Splinter]

Sagna :haha:

[The Realist]

Song taking freekicks? I've seen it all now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry. :lol: Bless him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho and RvP off for Vela and Chakma.

[fakeyank]

We should lose the Emirates Cup. Since 07, we have been winning this shit and not doing anything else.

[Master Splinter]

Song :haha:

Oh dear.

[The Realist]

Song :lol:

[WengerISaLizard]

Song getting carried away there :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bartley on for Koscielny.

Eboue on for Sagna.

Arshavin on for Afobe.

[The Realist]

I'm not sure if it's just his hairstyle, but Arshavin looks fitter this season, slimmer facially.

[Master Splinter]

:haha:

Bartley own goal.

[The Realist]

lolarsenal 1-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Red Bulls to win The Emirates Cup :haha:.

[The Realist]

we let an American PUB TEAM win the emirates cup....how much of a laughing stock we will now be in north america...great...gervinho VERY VERY average i dont know why people here are getting a boner over him. i think afobe rosicky and ramsey played quite well along with gibbs and sagna...no one else really stood out

[The Dismantler]

wenger......

[fakeyank]

YAY! Yanks beat a pub team to the Emirates cup

[alexander]

so we are carrying on from last season. good.

[The Realist]

Thierry Henry wins another trophy at Arsenal's stadium.

[Niall_Quinn]

There goes our only chance of a trophy this season. People who think we're finishing top four with this shower of shit are over-reaching. I absolutely hate the crap we play, pointless pass after pointless pass and then give the ball away carelessly in the final third. That's the entire Arsenal game these days. Chamakh and Vela - you just have to laugh in desperation. How these two can be wearing an Arsenal shirt is a complete fucking mystery. I dare anyone to name a worse striking pair in the history of the PL. Go on - name any two for any team ever. If RvP gets injured we are absolutely fucked. We had a chance to sack Wenger and get a proper manager in, we didn't do it and now we'll pay the price. It's not the fact we finished third in our own tournament, it's not the fact we can't keep a clean sheet even against a pub team, it's the style of football we play. No power, no pace, sideways, negative - total shit. Is everyone SURE we are technically good? I'm not. Tipp-tapping it around the midfield 100 times is all well and good, but when you can't defend, can't complete a pass in the final third, can't cross, can't take a corner, can't take a free kick - is that the sign of a technically accomplished team?

Great for TH though - fucking legend.

[GP]

Good warm-up

[Niall_Quinn]

Good warm-up

Warm up for what?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Warm up for what?

Pre-season next year. :good:

[Niall_Quinn]

Pre-season next year. :good:

Good point. Unlucky lads, we'll get the Emirate Cup next year. Blimey, a whole pointless (hopefully not literally) season to endure before we can have another crack.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maybe not even another crack, if the Arsenal Supporter's Trust was right about it not being financially viable anymore.

[Keith]

A bloke told me he knew a bloke who went to the box office for tickets for today and got half price for yesterday.

I'm 99% sure if he was incorrect.

[Niall_Quinn]

According to Wenger we lost our tactical stability in both games - although he confirms it was New York's fault we are shit because they defended too much. On a positive note our defence is looking strong - apparently. Acid head.

Anybody who says we play great football should be shot tbh. Our football is absolutely boring, infinite side way passes with no pace and creativity. Its a fuckin yawn fest!

Will be going to one of the Arsenal bars near the stadium for the Benfica game, GW meet then if anyone's up for it :D

Watching this shite made me glad I gave up my season ticket.

Oh, it's this Saturday. I'll be at MrsL's this weekend so no can do. Free most weeknights right now :shrug:

Chamakh and Vela - you just have to laugh in desperation. How these two can be wearing an Arsenal shirt is a complete fucking mystery. I dare anyone to name a worse striking pair in the history of the PL. Go on - name any two for any team ever.

There's been loads of others:

Chamakh & Bendtner
Vela & Bendtner
Aliadiere & Baptista
Bendtner & Aliadiere

Admittedly, they've all played for us over the last 5 years.
