list of pre-season games please

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

Olympics travel congestion has stopped them.

I'll probably be heading to this Southampton preseason kickaround, who else is going?

Can't wait for Greenland next year, or Madagascar!!!

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!

Well they're all fans of Canoe - Ooops! I mean Kanu!

Barcelona friendly is off, they are playing Sampdoria instead.

We're playing the Super Eagles (the Nigerian national team). They're way down the FIFA rankings but should be interesting.
Given that Nigeria isn't totally peaceful at the moment I think I'll watch a live stream.

If The Arsenal are playing these long haul friendlies for commercial reasons I do not understand why go to Nigeria unless it is for pure football reasons , so that Nigerian fans can see The Arsenal.
I'm not an expert but it doesn't strike me that a lot of commercial money would come out of Nigeria or increasing the fan base there would increase any significant revenue through new fans.
Or is it just spreading The Arsenal word ??

[Macca]

Might have just answered my own question ??

Nigeria game postponed to next summer because of "Logistical difficulties".

Maybe we let our medical team organise it?
