The Emirates Cup

[Bucks Blue]

Its good to see that Arsenal have yet again invited average opposition just so that they can claim they have won silverware. The chosen teams are: New York Red Bulls, Boca Juniors and Paris St Germain... good luck against them!! At least you're guarenteed some silverware if you can call it that...

Last year we had AC Milan, Lyon and Celtic. Alright Celtic aren't that great but Milan and Lyon are good.

 

[ShelfSideSpur]

I though Milan are the worst team in the world?

Chelseaboi, find me an Arsenal fan that actually refers to this as winning a trophy......... I'll wait a few years for your reply as I dont think you can find me one.

As for the Calibre of the teams, Thierry Henry plays for the Red Bulls and we have an American trying to take full control of the club, so that shouldnt need a rocket scientist to add that up. Boca Juniors will offer a new style of opposition, not many clubs tour in South America so it will be something new. PSG, now let me think, do we have a French influence or connections at the club??

Or could it be that Wenger wants to get a cheeky look at a player or two?

Milan are quite good. Doesn't change the fact you got lucky against them though

1. Arsenal only played Milan and celtic last year
2. Chelseaboi what silverware have you won this year?
3. spam up it good for you

Find one Arsenal fan that counts the Emirates Cup as winning a trophy!

It's a pre-season warm up, a good chance to play against decent opposition in a small tournament, and see some youngsters and first-teamers alike.

i think you can say we've made up for 50 years of no premier league trophy... anyway what matters at the moment: where you finish in the competitions in the current season, or having to look back at history...

You're joking me? It'a usualy pretty good competition. Inter and Porto and stuf?

Boca will not be easy.

How can you say COYG? Firstly it sounds **** and secondly it sounds like a cheap imitation of spurs, which we are not.

 

[ShelfSideSpur]

Park,

Are you Tottenham in disguise?

 

[robin_van_ fiberglass]

Sorry if I sounded like a dick but I hate it when people say it. It just sounds so tacky to me

Isn't the Emirates cup supposed to be just a pre-season warm up, that the home fans get to watch instead of having to travel miles to watch?

Sounds like a winner to me
