Following the (shock) defeat to Salzberg (we let 'em win really) the focus turns to home soil and the first pre-season tournament to be held at the Emirates - Emirates Cup.

Inter face off against Valencia prior to this fixture so there's a whole days football to be had - get the beers in and hold on tight, the first trophy is on the line here!

COME ON ARSENAL!!

I can't wait; this'll be the first game of the season I'll be able to watch on actual television.

Da Silva better do some stuff.

First game I'm going to be able to watch.

Skipping a trip to atlantic city this weekend to stay in and watch this tournament on saturday/sunday.

I hope central bar will be showing this. I'm hoping I can change my morning game routine to sitting down with some food and watching, rather than dashing to starbucks/mcdonalds at 7-7:30am, and then standing for 3-4 hours.

Too bad the inter/valencia game is on a huge delay here in the US. I would have liked to watch both games in a row - and I don't want to sit in my apartment watching a tiny stream for 5 hours.

I've actually got one of our televisions connected to a computer. With that, I just get the URL of the ATVO stream and manually put it in Media Player so I can watch full screen or at least close to full screen. The quality on the TV is actually pretty good (32 inch HD widescreen), better than I thought it would be.

2-1 to the Arsenal. Cesc and Ade with the goals

Yeah i've also got my laptop connected to my 32inch, and once or twice when i was too lazy to sit at the computer early in the morning - especially in winter, i would put the picture up on that.

I just hope central bar opens late, so i can watch the first game streamed, then go down and still get a table for an early lunch/late breakfast.

If the EST KO time is correct, that would be 0845 for PST. You are missing Mountain time. :)

[RealMadGunner]

Will it be on TV by any chance ?

[Rewinder]

If you have setanta, which I can't get with time warner cable.

As I said in the first post, it is on Setanta in the US and SkySports 2 in the UK.

[RealMadGunner]

Checked my TV times .. I cannot bl**dy watch it .. I probably won't know of the result until the next day .. :(

Technically this is not about the PSG match but is about the Emirates Cup.

I am going to the Sunday matches as I have been invited by some friends. I am not an Arsenal fan but am interested in experiencing the Emirates Stadium. I plan to go the Charity Shield match next week so I can compare the stadium to Wembley during a match.

As for the Emirates Cup, who wins it if say Arsenal and Valencia win twice? Is it shared?

Anyway I am looking forward to comparing Highbury to the Emirates. The match against Italian Champs Inter should be exciting for a friendly with some quality in both sides. I am hoping to see Dudu in action as well as the likes of David Villa, Figo and Adriano. It would be cool if Vieira plays as well.

I'll let you know how it goes...

[GoonerMan]

working these games over the weekend is gonna be hard and very long. 12 hour days for me. i wasnt looking forward to it at first but now im raring to go. bring it on

[yodaisgod]

sometimes I hate being in the States:mad:

Other than Setanta...any other way to catch the game? SopCast?

[ArsenalTexan3]

Well I'll be sitting at block 4 four, row 114 and enjoying the match live on both days. Looking forward to see some of the new signings.

When it comes to watching the prem, I always hate living in the states, especially with time warner and FSC. How about a riveting match between Wigan and Sheff Utd? There programming for the top flight teams blows.

Comes down to goals scored.

[Detlef]

Is Manuel Almunia injured? He is not mentioned in the injury news (Tomas Rosicky is the only one mentioned-has a thigh injury) but he didn't play vs. Salzburg.

Any game that is not exclusive to ATVO will most likely be available on a stream. Not always sopcast specifically, so check myp2p.eu to see where it will be available.

Too bad they didn't plan an Arsenal vs. Valencia match after a days rest - that would have been really good to watch.
