Well I know it's pre-season but Theo is captain today.

Bad defending by Arsenal at the front post.
It's as if the new season has begun already.

I like Akpom. He's got 4 goals on the tour. I wonder if Sanogo is any better than him.

Not seen the goals, but from your comment above, perhaps "luck" is actually poacher's instinct? - the art of being in the right place at the right time? - maybe Akpom is the new Inzaghi? :rubchin: :lol:

I too missed the first 30 minutes but watched almost all the rest of it - normally I hate pre season games but there was a bit of bite in this game to the point that in the 2nd half we started to give away petulant free kicks which were unnecessary in a friendly like this :o Wally showed up what he is all about......the most average 100k per week footballer the world has ever seen :roll: I cannot understand how some fans continue to suggest that the guy is a centre forward when he neither has the instinct nor the consistant composure to play there
