TrentVilla Posted July 22, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2017 Well, they are going to be no better this season than they were last season judging by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 As things stand, they will do worse, Lacazette is absolutely no replacement for Sanchez. They are going to have to spend a lot to get someone in who can do what Sanchez does for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) The season doesn't start for another 3 weeks. players aren't at their maximum level of fitness yet. Nobody wants to get injured preseason either and theres still deals to be done in the transfer market. I don't think myself it means much. Although I expect Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool to be way ahead of Arsenal next season. Edited July 22, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Yes true but just as the FA cup final result was not an indication of how this season is going to go neither was this friendly imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 23, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 23, 2017 I think it was a fairly accurate representation of the chasm between the quality of the two sides, cup final not withstanding. I don't think Arsenal will finish in the top 4 with their squad with Sanchez, without who knows where they would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the distance from the start of a season is only relevant when teams from different leagues or nations face each other and they are at different stages of their preparation.

rodders0223 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I watched this one, Arsenal were lightyears behind them. Chelsea were faster, stronger, they moved the ball better and quicker. Arsenal were run ragged. It's quite staggering that players like Monreal and Mertesacker are even on the books, yet alone looking like starters. They are dire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Didn't Arsenal have that Hednesford Town kid starting for them? Arsenal will be same as usual, will look good in some one off games but when it comes to the crunch they'll freeze as usual. I think their best hope of CL football will be taking the europa seriously and winning that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Emirates has great views wherever you sit but very corporate and sterile atmosphere. How you're getting tickets Czech as you have to be a red member to sit in the home end. They very rarely go on general sale unless it's a cup match.

Thousands of arsenal season tickets are resold to tourists. It'll cost more than a normal match ticket but there's plenty out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just check seatwave for some tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Wow. Well Arsenal suddenly became a whole lot more detestable... http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/arsenal-owner-stan-kroenke-hunting-tv-channel-my-outdoor-motv-endangered-animals-trophy-a7868361.html Quote Arsenal’s majority shareholder, Stan Kroenke, has come under fire for launching a new bloodsports television channel that was unveiled in the United Kingdom over the weekend that will show regular hunting programmes that includes killing elephants, lions and other vulnerable African species. The American billionaire, who owns 67% of the Premier League club’s shares, oversaw the launch of My Outdoor TV [MOTV], which was revealed in the UK at the Game Fair in Hertfordshire and described by those who back the channel as the “Netflix of the hunting world”. The channel will screen shows that follow hunters across the globe, primarily in Africa where big-money hunting trips are available, and involve various ways of killing wild animals that includes by bow and arrows and by guns.

Many that are make a choice, not wonder at the marvel, but chase it down in jeeps and kill it. Although I can see why on some level that sort of adrenalin rush may be attractive, for me it is a reprehensible choice that demonstrates a flawed moral character. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
