pre season games match thread.

So being brought up in France wouldn't make him French then?

just meant that he, the culturally closer, was the one to see how stupid it all was.

[MegaGooner]

this tour has been an utter disaster.

i think this is the worst preseason preparation we've had.

I can't remember a worse pre-season to be honest, but if this pre-season highlighted anything, it should be our pathetic defence which has been crap for the last 7(or there about) years. Will our GIC learn? I very much doubt it, he probably didn't see it

Sorry bud, but this is even more confusing?

Well, you see, whenever i see brazil being portrayed with samba, as that's the only thing we have, i think it's really silly. And that whole dancing thing must have done the same to bac, in a way. As all africans are natural dancers and shit like that.

[MegaGooner]

So, being portrayed as samba is "insulting" to you, but judging a player by his colour is not?

to be fair, his post match comments did say we were extremely fragile at the back.

so at least he was honest, but we have a hell of a lot of work to put in on the training ground it seems

[brazilianGOONER]

Am I right in saying that Cologne is the only pre-season game left? If so that seems absolutely ridiculous that the likes of Giroud and Podolski will probably be given half a game each to try and bed into the new team ahead of the season. Given our slow starts the last two seasons where we've lost two games before the first international break it just looks like a joke.

was wondering this as well, but i reckon we'll probably play some closed door games then. i simply can't believe we would give them such little game time before the season starts.

Arsene Wenger says Arsenal players not ready for new season

By Matt Barlow Arsene Wenger fears Arsenal will be undercooked at the start of the season and admits he has not had the time he would have liked to prepare his team for the new campaign. Arsenal's tired and depleted squad flew home from their tour of ...

low expectations already for the start of the season, it only happens to us

[officepest]

Dunno what you're all bitching about, this tour has been a massive success.

We now have myriad new fans who will, in all probability, contribute the sum total of fuck all to Arsenal's coffers and attend precisely zero matches, ever.

what a waste of time.

[Gunnersaurus]

The man is an absolute buffoon, they won't be fit because he didn't take them, does that mean he will start with Chamakh because he is fit????

Nothing has been learned, what a was to start Monday by reading that.

[gunner_ace]

Hold on a minute, have I got this right. Arsenal have had 4.5 pre-season matches booked in (the 0.5 was that Southampton one) and our two marquee signings + a returning to fitness defender (which is exactly what pre-season games are for) still haven’t had a game with the lads yet with just one more to play?

Is that correct?

Shocking shocking shocking if so.

[Skooner]

We finally buy players early in the window, and then don't play them in pre season, thus forfeiting the benefit of buying them early.

Only in the world of Wenger could this happen.

[Aaron86]

In wengers world having them fit for the first game is not as financially rewarding or benficial as having them dance around like a bunch of c**ts in Africa.

As for his comments regarding diary being first of the team sheet for France when fit why doesn't he p1ss off and take the France job and then he can personally make sure that happens.

You can blame arsene for many things but the pre season sellathon in Asia is not down to him, he takes the team to where he is told to.......surely.

It sounds like he is actually complaining about the tour if you ask me and just expressing his concerns with how it has not helped the players achieve match fitness.
