Just take a look at another thread v. Madrid, mate; someone has already posted the current standings.

Where is Johnny Drama, btw? How could that be a complete entourage without the gang's chef.

Lol I had to crop it to make the image a smaller size but there's still love for Drama

I'm not really fussed about pre-season results and don't take any notice unless you have a projected starting line-up operating. Primarily these games are all about match fitness & bonding for the squad, and about tactics & keeping the finger on the pulse for the management team - anything else is a bonus.

For the fans it's a chance to see the new strip, new players & to whet the appetitie for the upcoming season, and perhaps see some of our quality opposition in the CL.

For the club it's a chance to raise profile & revenue.

The reality is that the team today & tomorrow will bear little resemblance to the 18 or so that will regularly line up for the PL - we started with Ramsey & Wilshere & combinations across the park that may have only been together in training.

I'd much rather do this and lose 1-0 to Juve, than to win 10-2 to who?????

I was at the game yesterday and all i have to say is, Hoyte is so useless, Gibbs did a lot more in the hour he played comparing to what hoyte has done throughout his arsenal career. Hoyte is so damn lazy, he doesn't know the meaning of running back to defend. I thought Senderos, Djourou, Gibbs, Denilson, Vela and Diaby all did well.

diaby had a decent match, but he still needs to work on his positioning and anticipation. there were a few times he lunged into tackles, missing both the ball and the player, leaving lots of space open behind him.
