Next summer!!! Very hopeful!!!

It'll start at half-time. They'll have someone waiting for him between the pitch and the dressing room, enticing him with tales of sunshine, paella and trophies.

I wish Walcott would sometimes take a touch towards goal when he's in that position on the corner of the box. With his pace he'd end up through 1v1 all the time.

Whenever he gets it there his touch always takes him a foot or so away from goal so he has a tougher shot or just has to hang it up.

I thought Podolski used to be good, why does he play for this shit team?

Toothless? Fairly harsh, he's working very very hard creating space for the wide men, not had any service as yet

Of course we're not! Uncle Arsole Wenger says we have a 'massive squad', it can't be a problem!

but does he give you the belief he can suppy the goals we're gonna need for a sustained period when RVP gets injured?

hopefully he goes and bangs a hat trick in now

This performance bodes well for a successful defence of the Emirates Cup.

Does anybody else think jenkinson looks very like kevin kilbane ?

Lethal · Post by **Lethal** » Sat Jul 23, 2011 2:05 pm

think gervinho picked up that injury when he got the second

Wilshere is just different class

Gervinho off...

Wilshere is playing well

30 fcuking minutes and he takes gervinho off

Wtf

I wont go over the top praising gervinho cos after all it is only a friendly but surely these are the games to bed in new players to the team ? It is all well and good training but you need to develop understandings on match days
