Arsenal 1 - Brighton 0 (Bergkamp 61)

[enigma]

Muamba is supposed to be quite good.

I don't think Brighton used only 11 players in a friendly game.. probably the clubs are not showing us all the facts.

Or is it just me?

We were doing Arsenal a favour to get vanPersie and Campbell fit by playing this friendly. I'm surprised we didn't sent the 1st team though.

Danger of our first team picking up injuries I guess.

I think a lot of poeple interpreted Dick's comments on the phone in to suggest that Arsenal would be reciprocating the favour by helping us with our striker crisis. Putting two and two together and getting five kinda thing. (Or zero, if you're the Albion's front line.)

Though in fairness he never did anymore than mention the Arsenal friendly a couple of times when supposedly answering a question about strikers.

 

[Silent Bob]

I wonder if we charged Arsenal or if we really are just a nice club and did it for the fun of it

If nothing else our reserves have not played for weeks.

Albion: Martin, (Sullivan), Reid, T Elphick, Dodd (Fraser), Rents; Robinson (Fogden), Cox (Chamberlain), Nicolas, Loft; Gatting (Gargan), McPhee.

I actually think you might be right, i can't believe we didn't use any subs in a behind closed doors friendly, however still not holding my breath as these things never seem to come off for us do they ?

 

[bailey]

Does not look like we will be getting any arsenal strikers on loan then.

How have you worked that out??

 

[blockhseagull]

Interesting that Dick was at the game.... who am i kidding nothing gonna happen is there

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Might be we get a season long loan from them in August.

 

[MattewEdwards ShinPads]

Interesting as well that Wenger commented on how well we were set up and that we try to play passing game! Come on Arsene give us player go on?!?!?!

 

[Da Man Clay]

Why do you think we will? I think that if we were going to be getting an Arsenal striker in the near future today would have been ideal to watch him for either team. As that hasn't really happend I dont expect to see an Arsenal player coming to us.

The only thing that is interesting is that Lupoli didn't play...however could have been injured i suppose


What good would it be seeing him play for our reserves against his own team.... expect McGhee would rather have him training with our lads that playing in that game

Probably because this "special" relationship with Arsenal only goes one way. Remember it was Arsenals youth coach who helped land us with El Turi. If we do get anyone he'll probably be useless

Arsenal loanees (from Arsenal) that I recall

Valur Gilsomeone or other - shit
Mark Flatts - pretty shit
Barrett - shit

Sidwell was more Coppell than Arsenal helping us out

Any I've missed?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Mark Flatts was qualla.

Dickov...he was alright

Martin Keown ?

These were all before the " special" relationship with DK and Brady weren't they?

 

[Beeneys gloves]

Flatts was excellent and Dickov was the bollox!!

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Interesting that Dick was at the game.... who am i kidding nothing gonna happen is there

DK was supposed to meet with Wenger and Arsenal before the Man U Arsenal league cup game at Old Trafford last season to discuss getting Owusu-Abeyie on loan...Dick arrived at half time

 

[Wilka]

1-0

DEAN WHITE OUT!

Well Brady was our manager at the time of both Dickov and Flatts....

The only two we have had since Brady has been at Arsenal are Barrett and Sidwell, and has been said Coppell was aware of Sidwell as he had him on loan at Brentford beforehand

 

[The Auditor]

Mark Flatts was qualla.

one of the fastest players I saw at the Soldstone
