I cant understand a word from the co-commentator on setanta...

HazDanz

It's an alright game this.

Lads I don't think we will sell Chamakh for actual money, he looks lost out there, looking at his teammates for what to do, very lazy play by the man who no one wants.

HazDanz

Classic Arsenal!

1-0 Malaysia XI

Now that's a goal by Malaysia

MaxPower89

A serious strike there, Arsenal 2nd best. Should make 2nd half interesting.

Mannone shows why he won't make it at Arsenal. Hardly even moved. Even if you don't save it, at least try to get it, don't just give up and watch it.

Santos has done well, it's a shame about his finishing. Chamakh is hopeless. When he goes for the balls he looks decent but most of the time he isn't bothered. Vermaelen has been good too but everyone else has been interchangeable. Gervinho not bad but that's all.

Mannone shouldn't be standing still like that, unforgiveable.
Won't be an Arsenal goalkeeper much longer with performances like that.

He's very flappy, it wouldn't give your defense confidence that he will stop shots which come flying in.

What's going on? Is it 1-0 or 1-1?

Agreed, our defense deserves better.

Theo and Ryo on along with a load of others.

HazDanz

It'll be interesting to see how Song and Diaby play with each other.

35 mins to go

Song is like a boss out there

cheers

Lack of creativity out there.
Wenger should try smuggle Sally out in the team bus when we leave lol

Bartley looks a player

Arsenal 4 shots on goal vs Malaysia 10

Typical Walcott already.

1-1 good finish eisfeld

Nice the iceman

tayto lover

Great ball by Song and cool finish Eistfeld

HazDanz

1-2 to Arsenal.

Deflection goal.

Deflected goal Aneke
Well done young guns

tayto lover

Fitness telling now.

He was supposed to be a cracking prospect at Dortmund until he did his cruciate. Hopefully he's not another Amaury Bischoff anyway.

Felt sorry for Malaysia and Sally, they played very well.

Galvasean

Groggy performance. At least we won in the finish up.

Samich

Seeing as some posters in the Utd thread don't like stats, here's something that might interest you

cson

All I'm seeing off that is that Modric, Cazorla and Banega are all similar players. Got success rates for that graphic?

iainconlon12

Lucky to win that one. Diaby was great imo. Great to have him back!

No, not bad having a Modric type player in the team sure.

He looked intelligent on the ball. Glad he didn't get injured on that pitch, it was desperate.

Modric is way overrated.

Maybe, he'd still be great for any team.

Whats Modric's work ethic like when it comes to tracking back?

I always focused on his offensive game not took much notice of the other side of things

Well, I wouldn't be a massive follower of modric. I think he's a deep enough lying midfielder, probably like Scholes in that respect. Wouldn't leave gaps in the centre of midfield.

The whole team was swapped around at half time, so 45 minutes! That must be the longest he's played for us in AGES!

The red numbers/names really highlights the new away kit, like it.

That's the new arsenal font, their wearing it in the cups this year.

was thinking on getting something on the home jersey with it, then after today something on the away instead but then when looking at it the numbering is massive compared to the name, so not sure now

+ not sure if the numbering/name will be red on the away kit in the PL

take that back there's only one Iceman

Replay of the match at 8 for those who missed It.

Cazorla maybe not as sure as we think, from the interview after today's game

on being close to new signings…
No [we are not close]. Maybe we will sign a Malaysian player?

full interview: http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/-overall-it-was-a-very-good-workout-for-us-

also i read about them(malaga) saying he wouldn't be sold before today as well, a good few days ago it was, after tottenham & arsenal were linked to him
