    3-1 in the end, Debuchy gave away a pen and we tailed off badly in the last 15 mins, but a decent run out and Iwobi, Oxo & Elneny looked sharp.

    Highlights here. Good goals and great to see Holding scoring on his debut. Less that's said about that kit the better though <yikes>

    Another quality goal by Chamberlain. He looked fantastic last Pre-Season though.. what followed was nothing short of atrocious.

    I was thinking the same, i had such high hopes if him after last seasons pre-season and his performance in the charity shield. But he was appalling after that.

    We can only hope this time its different...

    Surely this season has to be make or break time for Ox at Arsenal ?

    To be fair if he was at City, United, Chelsea he would have been sold by now. Hopefully Wenger will be vindicated by keeping him but soo far he is not justifying the place in the squad.

    Averaging just 2 goals a Season for us over 6 years.

    Why? It would under any other manager, but not one who so readily accepts mediocrity.

    Should be said that Iwobi and Campbell both looking great this Pre Season.

    Iwobi is emerging as a real talent.

    Also good to see Campbell improving. Let's hope he gets some game time this season. He couldn't get a game for love nor money last season.

    Looking forward to the City game later, should be a good test of where we are at.

    LOL

    The Oxo looks dangerous in pre-season!

    2 or 3 good chances to score and we find ourselves 0-1 down at HT. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
    I guess we all know that we still need to sign another striker !
