1.) Atmosphere was shockingly bad, maybe because I usually sit over by RedAction but was sitting up in the East Stand Upper yesterday. The mexican wave can fuck right off, what a joke. I'm trying to watch a game of football and my view is blocked by people jumping up and down every 2 minutes or by the guy standing up to record it.
Thats £35 well spent by them I bet. Also, didn't get the whole clapping thing. It seemed like the clap they do @ Wimbledon when a player challenges a call. Celtic support was immense. More than 1 song like us and supported the team the whole way through. Nice to see when we started playing within no time, 'Stand up if you hate tottnum' was started.2.) Chamakh looked good, although I feel he needs a 2nd striker up with him. He was good at taking the ball down, controlling it and holding it up but had no one to put the ball into. Also, he has a few tricks up his sleeve.
3.) Kos looked much better today than the other 3 pre season games I've watched. He looks much more confident and even showed signs of going forward just like TV
4.) Jack and Frimpong looked OK. Wilshere more so than Frimpong but I think there should be a place for both of them in this seasons squad.
5.) Good to see the Clock back where it belongs, if anyone is coming to the Blackpool game get there a bit early as there will be a little unveiling ceremony. With regards to renaming the stands, you wouldn't know the difference to be honest. There is nothing to distinguish your in the North Bank, East Stand or West Stand.
Overall, it was quite an okay day. I don''t think I'll go next year because I just couldn't stand the type of people around me. Knew nothing about football or the Arsenal. Just seemed to be some sort of corporate event.
