So that new fitness guy, what exactly has he done? The players look like they're running on fumes after 20 mins, yet they hardly even press.

That's exactly what he has done though , he's working them hard . He's pretty good at his job. AFL requires greater levels of phsyical fitness then football .

 

[razörist]

Couldn't watch...

What happened?

Are we all angry and afraid now?

 

[SuperGoon]

@Jury's assessment of the game:

God, he's never happy. Finds a reason to complain about anything to suit his agenda. Wonder what he'll complain about when Wenger is gone and he becomes irrelevant.

 

[grunger]

He's only banned for CS and first games of season, no?

I believe it's the first 3 pl games, it's imperative that we get off to a good start, hence needing another c/h.

 

[grunger]

Just hope that the distraction of the tour is now finished we can get on with the serious business of transfers ship out the dross and reinforce the team where necessary.

You'd have to think most of our targets were identified and negotiations commenced before we even went on tour.

Anyone quoting DT should be banned.

I get that ex-addict-at-the-gym vibe.

Jury: He used to party hard, but now he's all about the clean living, all about the Dagenham hustle.

Am I way off base here?

EDIT: 'off base' - dude, I shouldn't have used that phrase. Are you okay?

Jeez, just realised that the mods mock the rest of us with our avi captions, but you get 'the voice of reason'.

Was it a expensive?

 

[Hunta]

Interesting that both us and Bayern got battered after the fixture last week. They lost 4-0 to Milan.

 

[Linson]

Well I have to say that was a completely uninspiring performance. Only so much can be read into a game where so many starting XI players were out but it was still disappointing.

I don't think we should be overly harsh on AMN or Elneny as they were playing positions that were unfamiliar to them.

Worryingly, our midfield was disjointed, neither connecting with the attack nor helping out the defence adequately.

Roll on some transfers!

 

[Makingtrax]

My **** is twice as technical as the Coq here at Arsenal. He has no brain.

But at least he can stand up when he wants to.

In our case it's because Ho Lee Fuk was the groundsman.

And his Japanese friend Dik Suka.

Yeah, he's got a hot girlfriend called Mel Ting.

@Jury's assessment of the game:

Of course it's predominantly for money. Stupid ****.

You're telling me! I was expecting 'a.k.a. Snowflake McLeftcuck, king of the TL;DR snooze-athon'.

Only confirms my suspicions that commies are all around us, and especially in high places.

[NB @Gervais That's a JOKE, Gervais; a JOKE. Christ.]

Okay. Guess just me being impatient and worrying too much. Hopefully they adjust in time for the start of the season.

He's a fitness coach, not some magician. It'll take more than 1 preseason to see noticeable improvements in our players' fitness.

Tbf, it's well documented that Wenger thinks the tour was always a bad idea. He knows it was purely for money but that still doesn't make it a good idea in his eyes. All said, if we win our first 3 games nobody will care.
