Emirates Cup will host New York Red Bull, Boca Juniors and PSG.

Great to see Henry return to the Emirates

Is it just me,or does the line-up for the Emirates cup get lamer every year?

Hardly big name teams are they??

It'll be nice to see Thierry again but I can't see too many people wanting to lash out over Â£100 to watch those 3 mid-table minnows . . . .

It's because we're getting 'lamer' each year also. Wouldn't want to not win our own cup!

Second place would be acceptable as long as we showed mental strength and potential,and the board would accept a fourth place finish.

What an absolutely average line-up. Sort of shows how Arsenal have slipped down the pecking order in recent years; the bigger boys want to play elsewhere, so we end up with PSG for the 50th time running, an Argie side that just want a few quid and a run-out and NY Red Bulls- may as well have got Barnet.
It's on the front page of the website, if I was responsible for getting these rubbish clubs, I'd have hidden somewhere else, not shouted about it.

What do you expect from pravda? They will push anything to cover the failings of the manager and team

I guess that London, Paris, New York and Buenos Aires figure highly on Emirates Airlines radar....

and what is the obsession with PSG? They have been in 3 out of 5 tounaments. Hasnt Wenger done some advisory stuff for them?

No way I'm lashing out Â£25 on this load of shit, nice as it would be to see Henry again.

Safe to say I won't be attending this one.

I think we should invite Stoke, Birmingham and the Dutch national team so that we get all the injuries out of the way early season
