That forward line up still looks complete crap, doesn’t it, despite a billion quid having been spent on new players by Diet Pep

Arsenal name two 15-year-olds in Asia tour squad


Arsenal have included 15-year-olds Max Dowman and Marli Salmon in their squad for their tour of Singapore and Hong Kong.

Attacking midfielder Dowman and centre-back Salmon will join new recruits Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Christian Norgaard as part of the 30-man travelling party.

However, £48.5m signing Noni Madueke will not be involved as he rests after his exploits with Chelsea in the Club World Cup.
The 23-year-old will join up with the squad when they return from Asia.

The Gunners will play two games in Singapore - AC Milan on 23 July and Newcastle on 27 July - before flying to Hong Kong for a north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur on 31 July.

Dowman, who does not turn 16 until December, has been training with the senior squad for some time and travelled with the team to their winter training camp in January.

Due to Premier League rules, Dowman could not make his debut last season as he was named in the Arsenal Under-15 squad.

He has been given the number 56 for the tour with manager Mikel Arteta calling him a "huge talent" and hinting that he could be part of his plans this season.

Dowman scored 19 goals and had five assists during 23 games in all competitions for Arsenal's youth teams last season.

He also became the youngest scorer in European Under-17 Championship history when he netted in England's win over the Czech Republic in May.

Enjoyed watching them, OBG. Thank you.

Trossard featured heavily in those so I'll be sorry to see him leave if he goes.

:shock: HOLY SHIT!


Purely by chance I clicked on a game of Hurling between Cork and Tipperary (on Drogon TV)... Played at Lightning Speed by utter fucking mad men with with Big Clubs in their hands whacking a ball from end to end...No wonder they wear Crash Helmets! :shock: AND the ground is fucking packed.... makes the crowds at wimmin's look like a Sunday game of 2 men and a dog! (60,000?)

The fans are not segregated either! blue & red everywhere!


Cork 21 v Tipperary 34 on 70 minutes (Does it go to 90?)
