You mean the replay? When it was live it was listed as arsenal vs Chivas.
Posted on 8/5/16 at 5:05 pm to bbap
not sure if they will have a replay, but some highlights would be nice. like they have for every other pre season game.
Posted on 8/5/16 at 5:40 pm to dgnx6
Oh I'm sure highlights will be up at some point

Anyone in particular impress? Even though we had the euros, I'm just itching for some Arsenal. Just miss the highs and lows you feel as a fan.

Santi was great. Some great balls today. I thought Elneny was also very good.

Nice, I miss that little magician.

I love watching the guy, but I just expect him to be broken in half at any moment, like Alexis...oh hell, like most of the team. I'm not a big guy, but Arsenal does look diminutive.

What db10 said already. I thought bielek played well but he only played the 1st half. Holding played the 2nd half and probably had to defend twice the entire half. The 2nd half was comical really. Hard to take a lot from such an inferior opponent.

Thing about Santi is you got to get the ball from him. Messi is the best player and he is small. Neymar, thin.
I know it was two years ago, but Santi embarrassed city. And was the smallest player on the field.

Wenger says Alexis or Theo will start up top vs. Liverpool. Might see Alexis start tomorrow there as a tune up. If he can play there this year that solves a lot of problems for us, but only if Ox comes good and Wenger shows some faith in Campbell.
I'm not counting on signing anyone else even though it sounds like we are still in the market. I just have zero faith in our management to buy the quality we need to contend for a title.

We will never legitimately contend for a title with this mindset. How can you expect to when the Manchester teams and Chelsea constantly reload with talent every window and we don't even try? I've just come to accept that we aren't a title winning team. Maybe a cup here and there but that's about it.

Well there is one main difference between those clubs and us. It's Kroenke, who will throw Wenger under the bus the first chance he gets. I don't think people realize the amazing job Wenger has done on a shoestring. In 2013 we were promised more money, and while that money came, the market changed so that 40 mil a summer buys one player instead of two. Our bad luck ensures that we get the one owner in all of sports who preaches the same management techniques as any other mega-corporation, when in fact we football club isn't that at all. It's a club organized for the purpose of playing and winning matches. It will never be won in the boardroom.

Yeah I don't see that changing any time soon, so the point above stands. I do think if Wenger himself wasn't such a penny pincher we wouldn't struggle as much as we do but at the same time it's obvious we have serious boardroom issues that prevent us from competing.

I see on one hand you have some quality young players that may turn out great, like Iwobi. But at the same time, only PT will get them better, and can you afford to get them quality minutes when you are in a fight in the premier league? Same with the young cbs now.
I'm finally happy with what we have at cm and Gk. But how long has that been needed? And now you have two older cbs that have had injury problems and only one striker worth a damn. Also you can't decide on who to play on the right wing.
So you fixed some issues and now have glaring others. It's just never ending.

It's Kroenke,
Yes, this is it! The EPL and the FA generally should ban billionaires from the U.S. from owning clubs. Khan has depleted Fulham as well. There is no excuse for Kroenke, he is doing the same thing to Arsenal he is doing to his American football team. It is as though he is on a one man mission to control cost for the whole of sport.

I'm ok starting Ox on the right , Alexis on the left, and Giroud or Theo up top.
Posted on 8/7/16 at 9:48 am to cwil177
Apparently draxler was fined for saying he wanted to leave
Posted on 8/7/16 at 10:07 am to cwil177
Not a fan of theo up top at all. Maybe he'll surprise me when he has our starting wingers feeding him through balls but I've been pretty disappointed with his preseason play.
