Arsenal defence has not improved one jot and l still think the spine of the side is not good enough either.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Overreacting a tad are we not? Arsenal drew a couple of pre-season games, the first in which they changed a lot of the team at half time and the other one they changed quite a few players including introducing a new CB for his debut. It's a pre-season game, it's not indicative of the season. Both Manchester teams have beaten Barcelona in pre-season games, Leicester only lost to Real Madrid 2 - 1 yesterday.

Boca Juniors are one of the best clubs in Argentina. They just have Junior in their name.

Arsenal have a pretty good defence when everyone is fit. Koscielny and Vermaelen were great today, especially Koscielny. Koscielny has excellent awareness and positioning, he reads a pass very early, if he has addressed his physical aspect then he can be one of the best defenders in the league.
Btw Arsenal conceded the fewest goals from open play last year, all while our best center back was injured.
It's not quite as obvious and simple as people make out. We need another center back both to add depth and to address the weakness and set-pieces.

A good win though over Inter Milan even with Sneijder playing.. now I can't remember who's he thinking of transferring too...
I though like the small friendly international competitions as it's good practice for the european games.. pity though that City didn't get a chance to play Celtic in the comp.
As I said though I think that next Sunday will be interesting especially with MU looking for revenge over the FA-cup semi defeat. I'm really looking forward to the game

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Newcastle went down 3-2 to Leeds united thanks to some terrible goalkeeping from the lad that won a trophy with Celtic last year.
Bright game for Haris Vuckic again though scoring his second in 2 games.
Seems to be a lot of hype around this boy as if he is the next big name striker.
Shame really because if that does come to truth he wont be at Newcastle Only 18 as well.

I wasn't overreacting, it was more a joke about Arsenal and not winning competitons. I rarely take much interest in results of pre season games as they mean very little.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Nah being so far away from Manchester means that there's no way of getting the loyalty points required to get a ticket.. no way I'll pay the ebay/scalp prices..
Will though find a nice bar and enjoy watching it with a bottle of wine..
