The Mind Series: Arsenal vs Chelsea | Sunday, August 1 | KO: 15:00 BST | Stream

I was initially taken aback by the name of the tourney, but I got find out that it is meant to raise awareness about mental health. Fair play!

Obviously, this game will give us a bit of an indication of where this team is at presently in terms of preparation.


Obviously, this game always come time to mind when I think about my favourite Arsenal vs Chelsea game. RVP was just simply unplayable. He made Terry and Cahill look clueless.

It's quite funny that this game was the highlight of Santo's career

Team news: Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, Emile Smith Rowe, Pablo Mari, Willian, Joe Willock and Reiss Nelson will be involved, as are Mohamed Elneny, Eddie Nketiah, Tavares, Cedric Soares and Folarin Balogun.

Bernd Leno and Grant Xhaka are away on holiday for the start of pre-season having been in action at Euro 2020.

@Riou where's Santo's these days?

 

[Rimaal]

Apparently a number of our players have tested positive, which is the reason why Miami was cancelled. Let's see if this one goes to plan.

After he was discovered to be a rat at Old Trafford, I think Arsène had the body buried in pine barrens.

Andre never had the makings of a varsity athlete, tbh.

Dunno how the PL is going to be able to get through a whole season, the UK has opened up and Covid isn't going anywhere. Highest amount of infections in people between 20-30 right now as well.

Surely we'll play a game before this crap?

Great cup win from 2004...



...the pass by Vieira for the 2nd is amazing, has to be perfect for Jose to get a shot away.

The commentary just after the 2nd (not in the video) is pretty great...

"If Thierry Henry is the king of Highbury, then surely there is a new prince now"

Loved Reyes, great player.

Andre Santos? He’s retired.

Was playing attacking mid in the Turkish 2nd division then retired at his boyhood club Figueirense.

Some of the players that have been here over the years, fcking hell.

How bad is that league ffs?
A player like Santos playing as an AM

 

[berric]

Will Lokonga be fit for this? Looking forward to see some fresh exciting new blood. Grasping at straws here.

 

[Riou]

Loved that interview Santos gave, when he said Arsenal at the time didn't match his own winners mentality

Shocking athlete and tactical discipline, but he was very good with the ball at his feet.

Makes sense, I think #10 in lesser leagues was probably the only way he was ever going to work. When we were starved of natural wingers I remember many fans urging Wenger to just use him as a left winger at the time.

 

[Monstar-Gunn4r]

If Chelsea care they'll win, if they dont win it could go either way.

 

[Arsenal1508]

It's better to get a goalkeeper on loan with option to buy. Ryan proved himself that he would have been a good purchase. Unfortunately, Edu and Tets did not negotiate this when we loaned for him.

Feeder Club vs Parent Club

Disgusting how clear these rent boys are of us under the management of Tuchel. Although we managed to get a lucky win against them at Stamford Bridge last season, that game was one of the worst performances of the season.

Could have easily been 5 or 6 if they weren’t dreadful in front of goal.

 

[Notorious Big]

It's coming home !

Its management from top down, not even just the manager. I guess that comes from having an owner like they do, but we really dont help ourselves with kids like Edu and Arteta running the club.

Good opening post bro. That Walcott goal where they trip him up and he gets up off the floor keeping the ball, dribbles past two players and strikes a wonder goal, was something special.
