    Thanks for tagging me mate as I don't want to miss any of your riveting posts with their in depth analysis of football matters !

    Actually it's a pre-season friendly so I don't care if we win it or not (as long as we don't get any injuries) so I won't be buying any DVDs, but Hiag mate go buy the Arsenal winning the FA Cup 3 times in last 4 years DVD so you can see what success looks like :)

    WUM Master not

    The competition awards a point for every goal scored, one for a draw and 3 for a win.

    Arsenal won one 5-3 and lost 2-1 (9 points).
    Sevilla won two, 1-0 and 2-1 (9 points).

    Ties are split on goals scored.

    Yeah, in terms of a pre-season friendly competition it's quite good for spectators because it encourages gung-ho, entertaining football.

    Yeah but goals against don't factor, so winning 5-2, is somehow deemed 2 points better than winning 3-0.

    Absolute nonsense.

    Like I said, it's designed to be entertaining.

    A 1-0 win is worse than a 4-4 draw (although both sides get the points).

    We weren't even invited to play in the Emirates Cup, so how the **** could we win it?

    Seville actually won the tournament, but Wenger still claimed the Cup! How the **** would we have won it against those cheating bastards?

    Congratulations, Pix!

    You must be chuffed to ****?

    You've done the Double, mate! Will there be a Special Collectors' Edition DVD box-set?

  18. Why would I do that?

    I use the "I'm off!" wum-device only for things that really matter to me*.

    *NOTE: When I say "matter," please understand that I really couldn't actually give a ****.

  19. Blimey!

    All I did was ask your opinion, G4E! No need to rant at me!

    Pixie is taking a very different view of it all. He's creaming his pants and bragging about Arsenal "doing the Double." Something about some massive trophy won against Ozzie and Japanese gas-fitters and postmen.

    You'll have to ask him about it, mate.
