I'm a pretty big fan of how Bartley's in the squad and Squillaci isn't

Just a note
RBNY going 4-1-4-1 with Márquez at DM for the first time since last season. Potentially very important.

For some reason, the Red Bulls are wearing our aways with GK shorts.
Really bizarre.

And that guy in the Emirates tour called him "Chess Fabregas"

Shame RvP couldn't control the ball faster
Could have been a goal.

We're certainly testing the NY defense

aside from playing them onside a bit ago, he's done well so far

Tim Ream is Jesus.

I think he would do well for Arsenal, actually
after a few more years with RBNY.

Gervinho was, but Aaron certainly wasn't
And Gervinho wasn’t in the play…so yeah.

You could argue that Gervinho could influence the keeper there though
He was certainly close enough to the play
by Stephen Schmidt on Jul 31, 2011 11:51 AM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, but in the position he was in, I don't think he was
certainly could have, though

I really think if there is any possibility it influenced the play you have to call it
Just my two cents though
by Stephen Schmidt on Jul 31, 2011 11:59 AM EDT up reply actions
That's fair
I don’t disagree, but you’ll rarely see that called.

I'm a big fan of the Verminator-Koscielny partnership, by the way
So far, at least.

Just FYI
The Cosmos do not have a team. The Scholes team is just a bunch of dudes they brought in for a one-off.

we are playing alot of aerial stuff into the box… interesting
Say hi to the bad guy.

Tell the defense to back off
More touches for Henry will probably = a RBNY goal.

Awesome couple of tweets from Cesc
“Robbie Savage is in the corner where i nutmegged him a couple of season ago. He must like it.”
“Ill say hi to him later when i see him at the end of the game.”
Managing Editor, OnceAMetro.com
Ben, does Henry tend to start dropping a lot deeper when NYRB are struggling?
that was something I noticed him doing a lot at Toyota Park in the draw last month…
The Emirates is as quiet as I've heard it when Arsenal are ahead.
They need to put in a singing section behind one goal.

They have one, the Clock End
but it’s preseason, against non-European competition, so the crowd isn’t really invested in it – these games are more of a curiosity than anything else.
Ooooh, Agudelo's on

The similarities between Arsenal and the Red Bulls are frightening.
We’re terrible from set pieces as well.

If I had a pound for every time a commentator said "it's been X years since Arsenal won a trophy"
I would buy a massive hammer and kill every one of them.

I think the thing I'm most upset about
is our fans booing the team during preseason

I was impressed by Bartley, og aside
He put in a thumping tackle on Agudelo, I think. And had some good reads.
