Ridiculous penalty decision from the ref, Podolski takes and Reina saves.

EDIT: That looked a lot more of a penalty than the one we got, Rafa not happy.

Got the sun in his eyes lol. Stupid penalty decision awarded to us, badly taken, Reina saves.

Cheers, i figured it out in the end

BTW you might want to change your sig, seeing as Arshavin is no longer with us

...might as well put Sanogo instead

2-0 Pandev

I'll put him in if he scores 4 against Liverpool

Robbo · 3 Aug 2013 at 16:52

Smart finish from Pandev. Arsenal looking a bit rubbish here.

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Aug 2013 at 16:53

Almost 3-0

then Wenger will hang him out to dry like he did with Arshavin

Victoria Beckham's got more width than this Arsenal side. They keep getting stuck as soon as they're in the final third.

Leeroy Jenkins · 3 Aug 2013 at 17:07

Arsenal's squad just isn't good enough, If they dont invest i would definitely bet on them finishing outside top 4.

robfosters · 3 Aug 2013 at 17:11

Bad so far for Arsenal, but they are missing Walcott, Ox, Cazorla, Arteta, Sagna, and they can add any new signings.

Hello, broken record, see you this time next year.

Last season was probably our best chance to mess things up, given all the new faces having to learn to play with each other, and losing our one-man-goal-machine. We won't challenge for the title with this squad but if they could have the first half of the season they did last year and still finish top 4 then I'm less worried this year. Still, need to build on what we have... so far net spend = £0, so not good lol.

LOL well seeing as we havent got Arteta, Carzola and Walcott...3 major players, i dont expect us to win this game or even make a game of it.

But go ahead put all your monies on Arsenal not getting a top 4 next season

I will see u this time next year and i cant wait to say i told u so

. If Arsenal just invest some of that £70 million they have they will be fine, but in all honesty they need reinforcements in my opinion or they will definitely not get top 4.

Napoli were missing Higuain, Maggio and Zunniga thats 3 major players if i can count, just like Arsenal. It's also a new team and new system with a different manager still adapting to the new environment.

They're on now and it hasn't really improved.

Cosimo · 3 Aug 2013 at 17:49

Arsenal booed off at half-time. In a pre-season friendly. Quite extraordinary, really.

Is it really that bad?

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Aug 2013 at 17:50

2-1

First cheers of the day from the crowd who have been utterly pathetic.
