    Vermaelen is also out. Probably one of the weakest squads I've seen fielded in my lifetime. That isn't an over-exaggeration.

    Szczesny, Jenkinson, Djourou, Koscielny, Traore, Coquelin, Ramsey, Rosicky, Walcott, Van Persie, Arshavin

    Can't field half a team an expect a result.

    Same goes for a season.

    Unfortunately this is a message that will come too late to the board and Wenger. There isn't time to fix this before the season begins. Our summer has been futile. A few of our best players gone, middling replacements if any at all, and overall a much weaker team than last season (when there were times it felt we were a player or three away from being serious title contenders). Not to have a pity party here but isn't this to be expected?

    Was this a friendly? I haven't seen 8 goals ever scored except when Australia plays Palau or Germany plays the Vatican or something
