Guest 5StarBear Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Still, even though its pre-season, still feels bad losing 3-0 to anyone. The tinks beat a 'decent' Spurs side with their reserve team the other week. Maybe they should have sharpened up the team they planned to put out against the Russians last week,hahaha, instead of using the reserves. Do you think Mowbray will become famous for these backfiring howlers? Hope so! :spl: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-season football is all about fitness and match sharpness. Results inconsequential, though it's always nice to win. I'd say pre-season seems to be working out well for us so far. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilledbear 16 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 It was a worthwhile exercise moneywise it seems. Emirates Cup adds millions to club coffers03 August 2009 | By Adam Fraser | Notes & Insights | Analysis | Soccer Popular articlesThe worldââ?¬â?¢s 200 most valuable sports properties Hicks and Gillett count cash as Benitez hails success Benitez reluctant to sell despite financial constraints Rangers finances ââ?¬Ë?suffering compared to Celticââ?¬â?¢ ESPN to offer free Premier League footageMore than 110,000 fans passed through the gates at Arsenalââ?¬â?¢s Emirates Stadium for the Emirates Cup this weekend, swelling the clubââ?¬â?¢s coffers by more than US$6.5 million. At an average ticket price of UKÃ?£35 (US$59), the 110,982 fans who attended the tournament featuring Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Paris St-Germain and Rangers added a sizeable amount to the clubââ?¬â?¢s bank balance before sponsorship, including the title sponsorship with Emirates and major sponsors such as bet-at-home.com, is even taken into account. The tournament, managed by agency Kentaro, saw Arsenal regain the trophy thanks to wins over Rangers and Atletico Madrid, with 17-year-old midfielder Jack Wilshere shining in front of a crowd including England manager Fabio Capello, and collecting two man of the match awards. In the other matches, Rangers recorded a 1-0 win over PSG, who secured a draw in their clash with Atletico Madrid, which finished 1-1 after Ludovic Giuly cancelled out a Sergio Aguero penalty. [[Each of the visiting clubs is believed to have received an appearance fee of more than US$1 million.]] The next issue of SportsPro magazine, available at the start of September, will feature an in-depth analysis of the Emirates Cup tournament as part of a special feature on the business of soccer.

The season must be starting. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would keep Smith. Only other left back. Beasley is possibly the most ineffectual player in our squad and should have been out the door long before Adam. Truly woeful for us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
