Drogba and Sneijder on for Galatasaray, should liven up the game a bit.

Livening up now, couldnt see why that penalty was given. Should be a good last 10 mins.

Drogba scores again to make it 2-1.
What does he have against us?
That was awful from Mertesacker, I'm pretty sure I could turn him.

No silverware for us this season

Arsenal aren't even going to win the Emirates Cup this year?
That will be it for another season.

We didn't win it last year either... doesn't have much bearing on the season unless someone gets injured.

Also worth saying that swanning off to Asia just before the Emirates Cup is a relatively new thing (started last year?) and I think it does take it out of the team. I only care about them performing well in the CL qualifier, obviously, which is soon-ish.
I'd say it did have a bearing, you maintained that losing mentality
.Of course I'm only kidding, you did win 4th place.

Meh, when we used to win it we still crumbled in the league.
Only just got around to watching our game vs Olympiacos from yesterday. I know it's only pre-season but, touch wood, things are looking good for the season ahead. Not only have we won every game without conceding but there's be a lot of positives from players that were either fringe players or players with slight question marks over them.
Lucas looks fitter & stronger than he's done since his knee injury, Allen's playing like the Allen we saw in his first few months rather than last few months, Aspas looks better than the squad player I thought he was being signed as and even Toure's looked pretty decent. Throw in Sterling, who looks revitalised and ready to kick on from last season, and Jordon Ibe who looks like he could make an impact this season and our squad doesn't look too bad.
