Re: Arsenal to tour Africa in 2012

really... where out of curiosity?


and I believe Arsenal has made Korea a leg of its Asia tour. And there are rumblings right now from Park that he may want out at the end of the season.

Wenger is supposedly meeting with Park this week over this. I don't have a reliable link/source unfortunately. Nothing in English anyways.

 

Re: Arsenal to tour Africa in 2012

Off-topic : but if Park didn't want out, I'd seriously question his motives as a professional. This, obviously, is not what he signed up for.

unlucky

 

Now that Nigeria has fallen through are any other African countries up for a trip? No one has mentioned any others. I think that Arsenal taking a tour around there wold be good for the local soccer teams. The EPL on TV has a bigger draw for many Africans than most live African soccer matches. Getting the local team to play Arsenal could increase interest in the domestic league.

 

not prostituting out their young kids to european agents/clubs might have the same effect

 

We're not donating to your site, brah.

 

That and I don't think Arsenal is going to announce some random fixture in Africa on short notice.

 

well, we won the first asian tour match with 2 very late goals from eisfeld and aneke.
ft 2-1

 

Did anyone watch ESPN UK? I wanted to murder the commentators. The color commentator in particular was the worst I've EVER heard.

 

Yeah they aren't exactly the best. I thought it was funny how they were making it sound like it was a World Club Championship match instead of a preseason friendly. They also trying to say what is realistic for Arsenal next season. Players are trying to get match fitness so even if Arsenal had lost, I wouldn't have worried since it was a mix squad with how many first team players missing?

The one intelligent thing they did say was the pitch was horrible.

 

whens the last time a commentator or pundit said something reasonable about arsenal or wenger? especially in the uk.....u have that stupid twat tommy smyth all over espn and the clowns on itv who are amateur at best.....the only really good analysts/pundits/commentators to me

are dixon, marcotti, keown, neville, a few of the bbc commentators and i really liked robbie earle before he shifted tickets to games to get model poon lol

 

Gary Neville's been good...really good

Texan do you know the name of the Irish twat who color commentated the match today?

 

I sure don't. I just know most of them are idiots.

 

Commentators or the Irish?

 

Mannone didn't go full pink, c'mon man.

 

Great picture.

You my boy Kolo! You my boy!

 

The game today is on ESPN UK so there should be streams for it.
