"A leading African national team" will be the opposition for the Nigeria game - apparently Ghana, Zambia, South Africa, Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Egypt have all been mooted

That's Arsenal speak for Chad or Burkina Faso, not Nigeria or Ghana!!

So we are hitting Africa, Europe and Asia in our pre-season? Nothing better than starting a season with half the team jet-lagged and/or coming down with Maleria, huh? But still, once we sell a few extra Nike jerseys, all is good!

This has concerned me for a while, we're clocking up serious miles just a few weeks before the start of the season. Spells disaster for me. I also thought they said they were gonna do these far east tours in WC/Euro years? Still, money talks I guess...

Those Inuits really have a lot of respect for the Arsenal brand. Gazidis says they know even more about the club than us in London!

Saturday August 4th, away at Chesham.

I wonder if RVP will get a run out?



PREMIER League giants Arsenal will visit Chesham United for a pre-season friendly, the Generals have confirmed.

The Arsenal team is likely to be made up of youngsters, but their visit to The Meadow is likely to give Chesham a big cash boost from a bumper crowd.

The match will take place on Saturday August 4 and season ticket holders will be able to get in for free.

No home games then? Usually every club plays at least 1 home pre-season friendly and with the Emirates Cup getting cancelled they should have arranged one by now
