Oh God, why does Nike never fail to ruin my day everytime they announce a new kit? Its terrible enough at the Man Utd camp, now they wanna bring in Arsenal for the mocking. PINK?????

Nice find you got there. So both you and your dad are fans of the same team eh? Nice....

Thanks for that evening entertainment!
I remember in an interview someone said that Sagna is the best dancer among all Arsenal players. I can see that now. On the other hand, Podolski looks like really enjoying making a fool of himself. Simply love that attitude.

Have some faith in our team. The league isn't a race, but a marathon.

Everyone agrees with this. If he goes to the manchesters club, it'll directly affect Arsenal's strength in the league.

BTW, is Juventus still in invincibles mode?

Kaka is a has been for me. Never the same person he was in AC Milan.

This summer has got to be the best Arsenal's transfer market ever since Man City and Chelsea did a shopping spree a few seasons back. If that doesn't interpret as ambitious, I don't know what will. I can foresee a lot of us Gunners fans are really excited over seeing these marquee signings, but are probably a little afraid of gloating in front of the other teams. Still, I honestly can't wait for the season to start. If I were RVP/Walcott, I'd be shacking in my Nike boots over the decision to leave an unambitious club like the AFC. Its like all our latest signings are almost guaranteed first team appearance by their standards.

I know our last season weren't exactly the best results we had hoped for, but we turned out wayy better than some of our 'fake' fans would like us to believe. To Casanova and Beandy, wherever you are....do remember this day and this coming season that glory will always come to those who are loyal and supportive of their team regardless of how low we went without winning any cups. And the team isn't done yet, since we haven't even started. So sit tight and enjoy the rest of the coming matches. I know for sure I will.

My bet is on Podolski to make a major impact this season. Giroud may need some adjustment to the EPL and Cazorla may need to get used to Arsenal's style of play, but I sense Podolski will hit the ground running.

Hmmm...got a point there. So we're pretty much set and ready to go into the new season. Just hope our defence won't buckle up. Song will be a great loss if he does indeed go. I just hate to see him warming up the bench in Barcelona.

I remember when we were first about Chamakh, someone said he was our poor man's Ronaldo. Almost the same height, face....but the hairdo....oh gawd. But still, I loved his first season with us. He gave us a different dimension up front because our crosses were often decent but never attached to any decent header. I recall mostly ow he always earn us freekicks and a few penalties thanks to his footwork control and possession. But after RVP returned to fitness, his first touch became horrendous and his positional play always makes me feel like he has no interest in attacking the opponoent's goal. Perhaps over relying to RVP affects a lot of our second string attackers, but even in the lower level competitions, he never impressed Arsene. Of course, the good thing is that we had him for free and I think his wage isn't too big. I just hope given a chnce he can ply is trade somewhere else and regain his touch. Arsenal just don't have the luxury of time waiting for him anymore.

Feels good to finally offload dead weights. Next is Squllaci.

Good observation. I see what you mean. Walcott always lack a decent pass to his penetrating runs. If Cazorla the key to his form, then I won't be surprise next season Walcott be a top scorer for Arsenal....provided that he keep his head in the game.

Yup, almost everyone is playing free role. I just watched the game, finding it quite hard to identify our players. Its totally a different team as if. Obviously Walcott is trying to prove something. I suppose with all the quality signings, he must be worried about his position.

I kinda missed Arshavin playing for Arsenal.
Happy to see Arsene still have some faith in him.

Fark me. Is this friendly or what? Why so many superstars coming in? Vs Malaysia takde pulaks semua orang nie....

I'm just saying what Malaysian AFC fan's are feeling right now.

At least he didn't slow down the play with his poor dribbles. Significant improvement to Diably 2010. Of course, he needs to prove he is capable of dictating play and distribute the passes perfectly. I too doubt he'll be able to knock off Carzola or Arteta in the pecking order, but his position in the reserves will be secured.

owh man...nice dribble by Arshavin, but Gervinho just wasted it.

Good game Arsenal, good game! Thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward for the kickoff against Sunderland!

Yup, he's a class above the rest. His touches and passes are simply good.
