Ed, What's happening with Serge Gnabry? He doesn't seem to be included in any of the preseason games.

{Ed025's Note - i really dont know mate..sorry..

02 Aug 2014 23:47:08
injured mate - would have been at the under19 final with the germans otherwise!

{Ed025's Note - very clever dags.. :)

Now that is actually funny, no really it is!
What a strange day, . Sanogo scores for the first time and gets Four in one game and Dags tells his first joke and its really funny.
Truely a day to remember as days like these just don't happen often enough in life

02 Aug 2014 21:27:39
Why doesn't anybody love me? Lol

{Ed025's Note - its your jokes mate.. :)

Ask the family!
Thats the show Robert Robinson used to host, cheers Dags been trying to think of that for ages

02 Aug 2014 21:52:23
Lol, you could be right Ed :-)

02 Aug 2014 19:31:03
Like Chamer's attitude:
“It’s amazing. To play in front of such a big crowd and [with] the quality of players i’m playing with now it’s a great achievement.
“I enjoy [playing] centre-half, obviously I played right-back last season but if there’s an opening for me I’ll just try my best to grab that opportunity and take it.
“The quality of players we’ve got in this team is immense. To play with such amazing players is an honour. There’s always an option on."

Sounds like he realises the opportunity in front of him and that he will play with pride

02 Aug 2014 20:40:41
Gooner for life, not just for Christmas.

Dare we say we've found a new Tony Adams? Arsenal centre back and captain by the time he's 21?

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking Rocky, but not now. He will get the arm band from RAMBO First Blood(TM) Now there's our captain staring us right in the snout.

02 Aug 2014 21:32:39
Well, I have been singing the praises of Chambers since we signed him, even saying I was as excited about him as I am Sanchez, but keep your feet on the ground Gent's.

Tea boy today and company CEO tomorrow spells disaster.

What happens if Chambers has a stinker tomorrow! Out on loan?
Just saying

02 Aug 2014 23:31:21
Second that G62

02 Aug 2014 19:17:20
Invisible spray PT2.

Apparently, the FA have decided not to use the spray due to side effects.

2 weeks ago they asked Southampton Football Club to trial the spray during training.

Although safe to grass, if accidentally sprayed on player's, it makes them disappear after one minute.

You heard it here first.

{Ed025's Note - lets hope someone uses it on you dags!.....only joking mate..

02 Aug 2014 19:54:14
Ed,

Sometimes your word's hurt so much.

I have feeling's you know :-)

Lol

{Ed025's Note - sticks and stones mate.. :)

02 Aug 2014 20:16:51
I heard they were going to use Vanishing Spray this season.

Expect Liverpool fans disappear by Christmas! LOL!

Cammy out!

xxx

{Ed025's Note - oh what a christmas present that would be!..

And their last words would be?
WE GO AGAIN :-)

G62, their last words "and now you're going to believe us."

Finish 2nd.

02 Aug 2014 23:33:28
Can't wait for the first snort celebration!

04 Aug 2014 14:57:41
2nd is still better than 4th though.

02 Aug 2014 18:47:39
ALL

Fantastic win but lower the feet to the ground it means naff all.

Lets see what tomorrow with a different XI and then v City. BUT can't grumble and with so many stars out.

Well done Arsene.

Guys and Jen, does mean no more signings? Do you think AW is happy with this very big squad?

02 Aug 2014 19:00:20
Agree Bambam.

Would still love to see a top draw DM signed though.

I don't think today will change anything on transfers one way or the other, if Arsene had plans for more players at 4.20pm then he still does now.
Today's great but like you say Banbury getting carried away with it would be silly, didn't chamack score in the Emirates cup? Did Gevinio! I can't remember.
Its always good to win and win well but neither this weekend or next will count for anything come next May

G62

Sensible as always

02 Aug 2014 17:34:12
Campbell is awesome. That's all I have to say.

02 Aug 2014 19:02:23
Totally agree.

I really like their Chicken and Mushroom soup, but Minestrone is nice too.

Oh wait,

02 Aug 2014 17:58:06
If Sanogo was a new signing we'd just paid £30 million for people would be saying what a bargain after today :-) pleased for the boy I really am.
Of course its what's done against Palace and then on that really matters but today won't have done him any harm at all.
Roll on the 16th when the real deal starts

Agree 62

02 Aug 2014 19:05:42
True bruv, happy for the boy

02 Aug 2014 17:47:51
I know its only a friendly, but 5-0 (at time of posting), without Sczezny, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Debuchy, Wilshere, Arteta, Flamini, Cazorla, Ozil, Walcott, Podolski, Sanchez, Giroud and Dag's.

Lovely jubbly Grandad as Tom and Jerry use to say.

02 Aug 2014 17:18:48
Yaya Sano3goal.

Only a friendly but its a confidence booster.

02 Aug 2014 17:31:18
He scores when he wants.

02 Aug 2014 17:46:00
Sanago4l actually dags!

I'm more excited about Bellerin. He looked very good in offence, passing, dribbling and crossing. On the defensive side he wasn't really tested today but I think he can be as good as Jenkinson. This line up made me think maybe Arsene got Chambers mostly for CB and he is counting on Bellerin for back up RB.

Campbell was fantastic and showed he has the quality to stay with us for the upcoming season and can compete for playing time.

Alexis looked sharp and happy and I think he can be what we all want him to be.

02 Aug 2014 18:37:00
Sanogo4goal it is mate.

02 Aug 2014 17:15:40
wow! Hat-trick by Sanogo, great start to the Emirates Cup! I hope this is enough to pump his confidence for the rest of the season.
moreover, campbell is too Arsenal way to be loaned out, I believe he will have a wonderful season with Arsenal.
Monreal is not good at all in cb position, a proper cb in 2nd half please.

02 Aug 2014 16:59:37
Guys. Sanogo has just scored a cheeky backheel goal.

Turning point please Yaya!

And celebrated as he had won the world cup lol

Start doing it in the PL and I might be convinced

Scratch that, he's got a brace.

02 Aug 2014 17:11:09
Still won't shut up the clueless boo boys.

Glad for the lad.

Hatrick.

02 Aug 2014 17:47:57
Hatrick plus 1

Guys. It's 4

02 Aug 2014 16:58:22
It's a miracle. . Sanogo scores:-):-)

I stand corrected, he's got a bloody hat trick.

It has turned into a super miracle now.

02 Aug 2014 13:59:32
Anyone else just loving totti atm. As if he wasn't enough of a legend

02 Aug 2014 15:39:56
Just created a league on the official fantasy premier League site (not with ssn)

The code is 781641-191102

feel free to join in

02 Aug 2014 13:31:29
Hope Sanchez has some game time today

02 Aug 2014 10:04:43
Nice to hear Arsene react to Gerrard's comments. Cut short -
"No player is big enough for Arsenal. I can understand him wanting to stay and win the league, but it didn't happen, (KERPOWW) and he's left now anyway!" (BANG)
Arsene should of finished his response with the age old playground cuss, (YOUR MUM!)

Arsene, Manager - Economist - Rude boy gangster.

Arsene is now saying things we've been desperate for him to say for years like, "we're open for a couple more signings." Don't stop there Arsene, or as he's known in the ghetto, professor W. If Bourinho pipes up, the new Arsene responds
"D man needs to shut is mout. Me is going to pop a cap in his ass the b*mbacla*t!

I think that proves I can mix it with the kids that live in the hood.
(Hood Green is a picturesque village in South Yorkshire. That have gangs of up to two sometimes three kids at a time.)

East side Flybo

{Ed025's Note - love it flybo...respect..

02 Aug 2014 11:53:15
Big up yourself

02 Aug 2014 13:12:58
Peace out, Flybo

02 Aug 2014 09:15:56
On Campbell " Arsene Wenger wants to keep him in the squad this season and benefit from him."

That's kind of good news I think.

I like Campbell but I still think a loan in the EPL would be best and bring in someone real strong. Also put Sanogo on loan.

However, if we don't have enough money to buy a defender, CDM plus a forward then Campbell is a great option as we have a handful of forwards to step in if Giroud needs a rest or competition.

The reality of balancing the books!

On a side note - AW keeping us competing during the financial constraint years was pretty amAzing and to stay professional while getting booed by own fans is admirable. The guy loves Arsenal just as much as us. We'll done AW

If not now when for Campbell? He's done well in Greece and had a brilliant world cup so should be in our squad or sold, personally I want him to stay and can't see the point in loaning him out yet again

02 Aug 2014 13:16:18
Campbell and Arsenal both need to see if he's right for the Premiership and for Arsenal. It's only fair, as lot of time and some personal effort and money have been invested in securing and managing him, or at least his rights, so far.

02 Aug 2014 13:44:12
I think there's merits to both scenarios.

He stays; he gets to adapt to our style in training, and grow alongside Ozil Sanchez and Ramsay.

The big problem though is that I think chances to play will be limited and the best way to develop is of course to play competitively. That said it needs to be top tier.

If we were to loan him out I'd like to see him go to Everton. They're a good side, play good football. And he'd have good competition and yet I still think he'd make the starting line-up.

We've had him a few years now and were forced to loan him because of work permit issues, So I think he'll be a gunner next season.

02 Aug 2014 07:52:58
im in thailand at the min I doubt the games will be on tv here anyone know any good websites to stream them on please? thanks

02 Aug 2014 04:01:38
So that everyone gets a fair view of the game when attending a football match. I reckon that everyone should move 5 rows across every 2 minutes.
I always get these brainstorms when I've been out celebrating! :-)

02 Aug 2014 13:18:33
Good idea! But what about people that want to see the game from different heights as well?

02 Aug 2014 13:24:45
Great icon Golds! Some matches I've been at it seems like the people in front of me have already decided to implement that policy unilaterally, usually just 10 seconds before goal makes its appearance

02 Aug 2014 03:18:52
From the current group of footballers. Who do you guys & Jenny, think has the potential to b a great manager?

In all honesty. probably none. However, in the next couple of years I would love to see Henry come back to the club as assistant couch or somewhere among that level. Can honestly see him becoming our manager at some stage when Wenger retires.

{Ed025's Note - an assistant couch?...would that make him an armchair.. only joking mate...i love the guy, and i know he loves the club...so why not..

Arteta has the qualities. ed 025; would you agree with that?

{Ed025's Note - not really saint, very good technically, but for me a manager needs a bit of a nasty side, saying that, the best 2 up and coming managers for me are rodgers and martinez, and they are both wimps!..which just goes to show i really dont know what im talking about mate.. :)

02 Aug 2014 09:06:08
Per - he has a good understanding of the game, tactically astute, passionate, calm, good communicator and commands respect.
He is successful as he has to work as part of a team rather than ridiculous skills that he can't teach.
He also understands how important winning is and most importantly - he understands the fans.

{Ed025's Note - good choice SY4..

02 Aug 2014 11:04:10
Sanogo

02 Aug 2014 13:30:00
Bender? Reus? Hummels? (See what I did there -;)

Personally think that gone are the times when you can stick a big gob in the changing room and let rip at players bull in a china shop style, I think now with the big egos in football you need a calm head who can keap players happy, and has a good tactical understanding, e.g. Martinez. I think Arteta fits that mould. Also, his hair.

Arteta, Per, Ramsey, Gerrard, Lampard, Pirlo, Toni, Xabi, Mullar, Lahm, schweinsteiger. Are players I think wil make good managers.


@Sheeny. Lol y Sanogo
@I saw yyc. Player with leading qualities in every position(defence, midfield & Attack) & we need players in all 3 of those position if TV5 leaves.
