Bit different in a friendly don't you think? IIRC, Ian wright played for both us and another team (maybe west ham) in one game. Think that might have been a testimonial though...

ahhh... I thought it was a serious cup competition! :wink:
Dont be silly Phil, its only a serious cup competition when we win it! :)

Anyway, sorry, have dragged this off topic! I'll go and buy my own bergkamp t-shirt. In fact I still have one from when I was young. Wonder if I can still squeeze into it...

Doesn't usually starting raining at Arsenal until just after a bold prediction by Wenger.

There's talk about playing fabregas in the champs league qualifier as i dont think we have RVP or Nasri available. If we get through that would mean he's cup tied and couldn't play for barca in the comp... 8)

If you don't get through and lose he would still be able to play for Barcelona in Champions League if transferred?

No....if he plays in any round he's cup-tied.

They'll sell.

...great strategy... keep a sulky injury-prone calamity-captain who doesn't want to play for you - for another year...

Pretty much sums up the entire squad.

that is certainly what the Daily Mail report suggests... no idea if it is right or not, though...
Daily Mail wrote:Fabregas is believed to be deeply concerned by the possibility that he will be forced to take part, which would immediately leave him cup-tied in the same competition should he join Barcelona, although if Arsenal fail to qualify he would not be cup-tied.
certainly on one level - I could see how it could be argued that you can't be cup-tied for a competition you never qualified for...

but on the other hand - the qualifier IS (at least on some level) connected to the Chumps League...

I suspect the answer is - if it were Liverpool, it'd be fine, otherwise, no chance!

Pointless having the best subs bench in the universe and only putting £20Million players on it. I wonder if they have a "Subs Bench Captain?" 8)
Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make up its own mind.

It's panic time every week as a gooner at the moment... Wenger tries to hold out for a bargain and then there's never anyone left... I wish for once he would just pay the going rate for a player early on in the window. Would be far better for my blood pressure... (my phone tried to turn 'panic' into 'pancakes' and now I'm hungry...)
