FR: Barnet vs Arsenal | 17/07/05

[famous no 10]

Just back, had a good day, did anyone else hear the anti Ashley Cole chants? I swear there were some right be behind the goal we scored our goals in!

Got Henry's autograph and took pics of several of the players.

Might do a more in depth report later.

The anti-Cole chants are just not helpful really...I mean, i feel similar in that I'm annoyed with him, and think he's a greedy little c**t etc etc, but what if he stays? Surely this will knock his confidence.

I'd never boo any Arsenal player while their still at the club.

 

[Henry IV]

Christanval? :shock: I couldn't believe that when I read it. I've always thought he was a good player who was struggling to fulfill his potential. Wenger slipped him in quietly. It'll be interesting to see if he makes the grade for Arsenal. If so it'll give us extra options at centre-back.

 

[asajoseph]

Well, even if it doesn't work out for Christanval, at least it shows that Wenger recognises that we can do with some cover at the back.

Which is great news for me

i was at the end were we scored our goals and heard no anti cole chants at all. most chants were for henry and dennis, with some bobby. no unusual chants that i could hear

 

[Spike]

Thanks for the pics Allyboy, seems like you had a great seat.

 

[Allyboy]

Was standing actually mate, in the terrance behind the goal.

 

[Spike]

Sorry, my bad. Seems like you had a great 'view' then.

In the second half, you must have got a good look at that new keeper we bought - Vito Mannone, what can you tell us about him?

 

[Canuck]

Cheers for the pics Allyboy


Not the most flattering pic of Lupoli looking spastic.

Is Dein's car an RX-8 or does he drive British ? (Aston Martin maybe?)

Most Italian looking person I have ever seen, looks a bit like Roberto from Big Brother!

Looked fairly composed but had little to do, the goal he had no chance on.

 

[koivu]

Nice pics Ally!

When did you take that pic of Dein? I saw him at that same spot at about 2:30 pm before we entered the ground.

 

[velimir85]

Nice pre-season news and some nice pics by Allyboy :wink: Let's keep this scoreline throughout the season

 

[Gunner4Eva]

Great pics....it really does make me wish I had to money to get to England for a few weeks to see these players up clsoe.

David Bentley is in the Eboue pic also, at the back. Cant wait to see what impact he has.

 

[robix]

what number was hleb wearing? from the video of his goal i saw it looked like 4, which is odd.

He was wearing Number 8

 

[Jinn]

Which means nothing, because Hleb was playing RM. Hoyte was playing LB and wore 3.

I have just watched the highlights of the match, and I have to say, Hleb looks pretty good. He seems to be a master at passing the short, quick, incisive pass - a strength which will be very good for us next season. I think he'll do quite well, and from the looks of it, provide a more Pires-like option on the right wing.

 

[thierrys_girl]

Great pictures, thanks for sharing them Allyboy.

 

[Allyboy]

Nice pics Ally!

Half five ish after the game.

 

[mood]

I'd prefer Hleb in the centre because his defensive/ball winning abilities are better than Pires.

 

[Mark]

I imagine Wenger will experiment and rotate them around. I definetly don't think Pires has what it takes to play in the centre anymore.
