#SaintsFC's Tadanari Lee is not yet back in full training. Still a little way off but is running. Should be back by end of pre-season.
Pleased for Seaborne. Honestly thought his career was over. Shame about Davis as fans want to see the new boys.
Just seen a well-informed Arsenal reporter who covers them for national press tweet this: "Arsenal going to Markus Liebherr Cup with young squad. Gervinho, Chamakh, Santos and Gibbs play. Ebecilio and Olsson in squad."
Anderlecht are a good few weeks ahead of us and Arsenal as their season starts earlier, so expect them to be sharp and up for it.
Off Arsenal's website, young squad for sure: http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/arsenal-name-youthful-squad-for-memorial-cup
We will be playing as many of our players as we can to give the fans a day out and to honour Markus, but wouldn't expect a full Arsenal squad as it is too early in the preseason.
@alex_crook: Djorou, Gibbs, Chamakh and Gervinho biggest names on show #Arsenal #SaintsFC Arsene obviously wants to introduce his kids to their new replacements (Or who he'll attempt to sign... Probably...)
I understand Arsenal have only had 1 week back in training, and their Euro 2012 players don't start again until Monday.
Yeah, all Euro players had an extended break - so no Ox presumably. Shame, I would have loved seeing him back at his old home. I wish he'd stayed, but he's done us proud elsewhere. No reason to hold any grudges, or boo the boy anyway!
Yeah every Euro player, Ox and Theo included, aren't coming today. Not to worry, we'll see them twice during the season anyway.
Think I might go to this, this isn't me being all "cost effective" and i'll happily pay anyway, but i've got season tickets for this season do they count in todays cup? Or do I have to pick up normal tickets? Genuine question not me being a hard arse with my money!
Can't wait for today, should be a really good afternoon/evening of football. Hope everyone has a enjoyable day!!
The bundle works out cheaper, but it's still steep. Sell them cheap and filll the stadium I'd have said.
Have fun who ever goes to the games today, I'll be wanting reports on Jay Rod, and perhaps Davis if he plays.
