As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Wouldn't surprise me if AFC hand-picked "lesser" teams to give us a better chance of winning the thing & lift the mood amongst the sheep. Mind you, we were supposed to steam-roller Boca & NYRB, look how that turned out
emirates cup i went to the first one, F**k that, never again as soon i was in my seat i looked around and felt like an idiot turning up with all these day trippers and tourists, i sat in block 6 in the first season then sat in block 6 for the emirates cup, contrast aint the word to describe it...
also if them teams mentioned are true then i expect ticket prices to be £5 and £10 respectivley, if not its another hatchett job on fleecing the fans yet again ..... money grabbing Cunnies
That has got to be the worst line up for any pre-season tournament being held anywhere in the fucking world. Are the club seriously going to insult the fans with this fucking dross.

Great for the tourists - it will sell out and our latest lime green and pink spotted away kit will sell out in the Armoury
Should invite Bradford, Swansea and Hull City. Give us a real test.
As far as I remember, it was said in Cologne's papers that part of the the Podolski deal was a couple of millions of transfer fee plus the money generated from two friendlies Cologne vs Arsenal.
If Arsenal want to avoid going to Cologne for a 3rd time in a row for a pre-season friendly, they might invite Cologne to take part in the famous Emirates Cup
A guaranteed top four finish
