Pre Season Friendly: SC Colombia 17:30, 21/7/09

[Thommybhoy]

I'm back from that game and preseason in Bad Walteersdorf.
It was awsome as one could expect, that game was very disorganized though, waiting in line for beer so long I missed 5 goals. from 0-0 to 1-4. People that saw Nasri's injury said he tried to block Diaby's shot, that Diaby didn't touch him and that it all looked clumsy and stupid.
Vermaelen looks really good, Ramsey has grown a lot since last season, Robin was in EXTREMLY good mood, more cheerful that Eboue was last season, it was joy to see. Phil seems to be going. More with pics tomorrow.
I can't go to Szombathely, but Croatian Gooners flag will be there

Thanks for the info mate. Really glad to hear about Robin, he didn't seem himself all of last season, hopefully a weight has been lifted, by signing the new contract and deciding his future.

Is Vermaelen bigger/taller than Gallas?

 

[Thommybhoy]

He is much taller than me, at least 10cm/4in (I'm about 176cm/5ft9)so IMO he is 185cm/6ft1. I didn't have a chance to compare him to Gallas cause Gallas would just storm into a bus.

 

[Proof]

Vermaelen is definitely taller than both Gallas and Toure. Like Thommybhoy said he is about 1.84/1.85cm, when I waited for the players at the bus, from what I could approximate Vermaelen wasn't shorter than me, and I'm definitely 1.84cm. Van Persie was very cheerful during the game and the pre-match warm-up. About Nasri's terrible injury, did the players had an open training session with a day before the game? Because from 16:00 p.m. until the beginning of the match, nothing nasty happened.

 

[Thommybhoy]

Yep I was told they had open training in the morning in BW.
