Another busy summer for Arsene.

Some more Arsene fun in the meantime

Is the morning of a big match making you feel philosophical and reflective O'Neill?

On a more somber note, Kenny Samson not doing so well at the moment.

Not a fan's favourite but I thought there was something about him but given plenty of chances.

Weirdest transfer window yet under Wenger.

Fenerbahce in the UCL qualifier.

ONeill · August 11, 2013, 09:06:13 AM

Tough enough draw that.

Looks like the Arse will be starting the season with the same side that finished 4th again.

Ramsey looks in good shape.

ONeill · August 14, 2013, 08:39:42 AM

Well lads, how do you see it going this year?

Same as usual?

League - hover around top 6. See off Liverpool by February, Spurs by April. Not good enough to challenge the top 3.

Cups - too focused on finishing in a CL place so rests a couple against Swansea and get dumped out.

CL. Squeeze into the knock outs. Draw Madrid or Barca.

Promises of big buys next summer.

Agree with that except think the History Channel will be gone by November and if Bale goes the Spuds will be gone by Christmas.

Good Blog post here

Question for Gooner fans. What are the chances of picking up a ticker for a home PL game at the Emirates?? I'm in London for a weekend in Nov and looking at the Liverpool game but I'd say it's unlikely they go on general admission?

Fuzzman · August 14, 2013, 03:55:12 PM

I used to go to matches in London the odd time when I lived there back in 2000. If you're going on your own and prepared to wait until just before KO then you'll be grand. It's harder getting two or more tickets together.

I used to go to Spurs games quite often but I went to Highbury twice. I used to set myself a rule of not paying more than £20 more than face value but I never ever had to. I would haggle or just wait til near kickoff. The last thing people want is to be stuck with a ticket and the match started

You have to be prepared to go round asking everyone though or use a wee sign saying ticket needed.
Not all sellers will walk around shouting tickets for sale. I tried to avoid touts and often laughted at the mad prices they'd be looking for.
