killer1257 3,281 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hopefully, Hudson Odoi and Mount play enough. Just want to see some youth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 1,651 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Any word on who will be travelling with the team to Australia? I assume a lot of players might not simply due to the WC this year just finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,717 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 As Sarri said result is not important here. But still would like a W to get the feel-good atmosphere going. Is it just me or does it seem pointless to fly all the way to Australia to play one game and then fly back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know this is purely a PR exercise and only game i really care of we win is Gooners. But there will be a media frenzy when we play Shitty in the CS. The master vs the pupil with Shitty of course being the hot faves and wanting some Jorgi revenge. But fuck them. I'm still royally pissed off about the whole Lamps bollox. I almost went blind seeing him in that disgusting color of blue. Never forgive them for that.. With allot of main players being on holiday still and us in a state of flummux I really hope Sarri has been able to put a workable team together by then and we can see am idea of things to come. Would be totally astonished if e pulled off a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pointless at a time like this to be honest. Surely the plan for such trips is to bring your entire team, including the biggest players, so that the match will draw the biggest crowd possible but we only gonna have half of the squad because of the World Cup. No doubt many fans will still turn up for the match but they won't even get to see the likes of Hazard, Kante etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 6,182 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Pleased to see Pasalic get a chance. I believe he's more than good enough to be a midfield option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 16,785 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I'm reading it's something like a 15-17 hour flight from London to Australia. Fucking hell. Imagine having to make that grueling flight for a silly friendly, and then having to make that same 15-17 hour flight again. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
