Arsenal have drawn Udinese in CL qualifying. Should be an interesting tie. Especially as Wenger, Nasri and Van Persie are banned.

I had forgotten about that. It would be hilarious to see them drop into the Europa League but I can't see it happening.

If Arsenal had got Rubin Kazan that could have been a tough ask to go to Russia without Nasri and RVP and then obviously Fabregas with his head in the clouds............ or in Spain ;)

I would have given last season's Udinese a very good shout, but they have just sold 3 of their best players in Sanchez, Inler and Zapata. Not beyond all hope by any means however.

Man Utd loosing 2-0 to City at HT, De Gea let a goal slip from miles out which he should have had with ease, good start from the new goalie.. not!

West Ham probably should have gotten a foul in the leadup I thought, but funny none the less.

Poor old Parker, he has too much class to be playing for them. I know I've been pushing this barrow all summer, but he'd look just fine sitting deeper behind Modric and Lampard in our midfield.

Always good to see the Spammers lose. Cardiff seem a decent team now that they've refreshed the squad, they may be in with a chance of Promotion this year

Guess its time for the Wenger's start of the season team talk again:

Quote

Alright boys, that was pretty good pre-season. Let’s get ready for Liverpool. I really feel that this year could be our year. We can finally break our trophy drought.

Stop snickering, Cesc.

Because I’m telling you to.

I don’t care how funny it is, you’re making the boys lose belief in themselves.

Yes, as I was saying, this could be the year we win something.

Well yes Eboue, the Emirates Cup is a trophy too. But I was talking about more important trophies.

No, Vela. Not exactly the Carling Cup.

I know you won Danish Player of the Year, Nicklas. You message it to me every day. But I’m talking about the entire TEAM winning something.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t give a f**k about the team.

Yes, your hair looks fantastic. Really slick. Could we get back to the point?

We can win trophies this season, but we have to change something in our play. Can someone tell me what?

No Andrey, not banning women drivers.

Not better synchronized dances either, Eboue.

Not by giving you a lifetime contract, Abou. I’ve told you already, that’s not happening.

That goes for you too, Denilson.

The answer is simple enough, boys. Letting in fewer goals and tightening our defence.

If it was so obvious Vermaelen, why didn’t you answer? Now will you people please stop interrupting me every f**king time?

I-I didn’t mean to snap like that. It wasn’t directed at you personally, Vermaelen. Please put that knife away.

Will you STOP snickering, Cesc? You’ll make Rosicky laugh too. There, he’s pulled his hamstring. Happy?

OK Theo, a question for you. The full back is coming at you with the ball. What’ll you do?

Hmm well, running at him seems fair enough. Apply constant pressure, defend from the front. Good answer, Theo. Now, Nasri has the ball in the centre but you’re being tightly marked by the opposition full back. How will you shake him?

No, not by running at him, Theo. OK, leave it. What’s the one thing to remember when you’re guarding the post during a corner?

No Theo, the answer is NOT to run.

I understand that you like running. You have to control it sometimes.

No, I’m not being mean.

Please stop crying. You’ll set Jack off too.

No Eboue, he doesn’t need your dance to cheer up. Some chocolate milk will do.

OK, a question for you Nicklas. You have the ball at your feet, Robin is free but there’s only one defender between you and the goal. Will you pass the ball or look to beat your man?

How does it matter what boots the defender is wearing? Simply tell me whether you’ll pass or run at him?

Yes I know YOU will run at him, Theo. Fortunately this question’s for Nicklas.

No, Nicklas. I don’t think the defender will let you go past because you’re Danish Player of the Year.

Oh, will you shut the f**k up, Cesc? Rosicky’s spinal cord just fell off, in case you hadn’t noticed.

I will not call you Nicko no matter how cool it sounds, Nicklas.

OK, your turn Fabianski. You’ve just made a save. Will you punt the ball past the half line or pass it to a defender?

What do you mean; you have no idea what I’m talking about? A save, you’ve just made a save. Catching the ball in your hands, holding on to it. Ring any bells?

Never mind.

No you can’t kill him off, Vermaelen.

It doesn’t matter if he’s a pussy.

Cesc, you heartless bar steward. Wipe that stupid grin off your face and call for some help, poor Rosicky seems to have had an epileptic stroke.

We’ll continue the training session sometime later boys.

Yes Eboue, you can hug everyone if you must.

Arsenal have just strengthened in defense...oh wait, they bought Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, young winger from Southampton for 12m, not a center back? Nevermind.

Even though Man U went on to win that, I still feel obliged to point out that VDS would never have let that in. Of course, this could just be a one-time thing, but I remember hearing that De Gea is poor with dealing with long-ish range shots. So here's to hoping Man U bought a flop of a keeper!

Hilarious. Its Walcott all over again. The deal could see them pay up to 15m for him.

15 million would surely get them either Gary Cahill or Jagielka. When their annual collapse comes around again, I hope people remember this idiocy.

Would he? VDS let in an identical goal to that one in the CL Final which was arguably easier than De Gea's shot. People are being way too hard on him. In time he will be a top keeper.

VDS was immense but he was always prone to the odd error.

Obertan to Newcastle on a 5 year deal. Remember that one when people talk about Fergie making the best signings.

Roy Keane's been mouthing off again. Having creamed himself over Ferguson and everything Man U related, he comes out with this:

Quote

"Everybody is on about this new young manager [Villas-Boas] - but I don't think the manager will be the problem," Keane said. "It's always the players down there, they all seem to self-destruct. They're big pals one minute and the next you hear they're all bickering with each other and players aren't happy if someone else scores."
c**t or what? I don't know what's worse, ex -Man U or ex-Liverpool players having a pop, shooting their nasty idiot mouths off.

What a f**king hypocrite, he was the one who split his entire squad when he mouthed off on Man Utd tv. Hows his management career going again?

Dear Roy Keane,
Please acquire a brain before you pollute my ears again with your ignorant, vindictive bullsh*t, you stupid cocksucking, career-ending hypocrite.
