FC Twente + David Bentley + The Emirates Cup

Good day Gunners. Another day brings more Arsenal news as usual. Thankfully the Pre-Season seems to be starting to spice up from the coma inducing boredemfest it was until a few weeks back. Lets start with the fact that we've drawn FC Twente in the Third Qualifying Round of the Champions League. Now, I'll be frank...I don't really know much about how tough FC Twente is. In fact, all I know about them is that their Manager is Steve McLaren of England and Middlesbrough fame. However I'm guessing they're one of the weaker teams (correct me if I'm wrong here). And I don't think they'll be too much a threat seeing as Steve McL is their gaffer.

In other news, I think we should all take a moment out of our day today....and thank whoever is about that David Bentley is a stupid cunt. David Bentley, ex Arsenal protege and allround prick, has just joined the Hotspurs, and because of Arsene's quick thinking (bless his cunning soul), has just made them gift us 7-8 Million quid. I'd say thats some fuckin excellent business, especially since it means that we've pretty much gotten Aaron Ramsey for free and have money left over to cover for the stadium (or a steel reinforced exoskeleton for RVP or even brain surgery for Eboue).

And Finally we have the Emirates Cup starting tommrow at 4:15pm GMT with our first game against Juventus. I've heard tell that it might be on Sky Sports which means hopefully it'll be on in Bangladesh (yay for me). Also good news for people outside of the UK and don't want to shell out for Arsenal Online and what not. I have a good feeling about tommorow's match, especially since I think our Pre-Season prep has been top class. Predicted Scoreline I guess would be 1-2 or 1-3 to Arsenal.

We'll probably have the same formation as last time except it'll look a little more like this:

                  Almunia

Sagna - Djourou - Gallas - Clichy

Walcott - Denilson - Fabregas - Nasri

       Adebayor - Van Persie

Changes to this might be that Djourou is replaced by Senderos, Eboue starts instead of Fabregas, Vela is slotted in as a Winger or that Kolo plays. The last one seems unlikely, but its possible.

Till tommorow then
