Yes good night all round. Competitive game which must help with preparations for next weekend.

RVP coming back on the pitch after the scare.

Two trophies already in the bank, just a shame we have to wait until February and May next year for the next few!

Again Arsene is not ruling out further activity in the transfer market. Pleased as I am with the pre season double I still believe we need to be strengthened with a couple more quality signings if we are to be serious about hunting down silverware.

I know I am going over old ground but I am sure most of you agree with that, don't ya :!:

I think we desperately still need another striker to take us through a whole season that needs options and depth due to injuries etc!

The winger would be nice but just dont see it happening!

Dont remember Arsene buying so late before!

Chin up!

:D

we have good heart and can beat any team, just a matter of consistency and tightening up at the back. Looks good tho.

Think we had a good run out in the Emirates cup and the Ams tournament. Played some quality sides instead of going to the different corners of the world playing against weak teams for self promotion. Werent at our best in some of these games but still managed to win, something that we will have to do in the league this year as well. All in all excelent preparation, the two trophies are just icing on the cake.

As far as the transfer goes, though Arsene decided to keep mum about it, im not really sure if he is going to get someone this late. He mentioned all the central midfielders we had and said theres depth in the side (i hope he means for the middle of the park only), he probably was trying to lighten the Diarra rumours.
