Szombathelyi Haladas v Arsenal
Tuesday 22nd July 2008
Kick-off 6.30pm (local time)
In Szombathelyi, Hungary.

Any chance this might go on sale to Red members?

Nope it will sell out... I'm sure all those gold and silver members will jump at the chance to go see some sunday team in Hungary play us :doh:

This one is gonna be a cracker!

Two top teams going at each other toe to toe!!! :jumpnana:

Cannot wait. :coffee:

no need for the sarcasm.

besides, Arsenal's not as bad a team as you're suggesting.

If we get the first goal, we'll win. :good:

If they get the first goal, we'll lose

:crying:

:blink:

Like to see David Pleat try and say that team name.

And he'd probably struggle to say Szombathelyi Haladas too.

:coffee:

Gonna book my flight today. Can't wait!

:dance:

Oh they are....especially if Eboue starts...that lad could lose the game for us signle handedly in a matter of minutes... :coffee:

can some show me how the first part of that teams name is pronounced!? :blink:

No.

But I'd guess something like 'shom-batterly'.

And the second part is probably 'Haladash'

Ar-sen-al...


:doh:

Shom- bat- el- ye Ha- lay- dash

I think... :unsure:

:clap:
bravo! i dont know if u r right but good try! y are we playing them again?

Pre-season friendly during the Austrian training camp.

Will be a good reason for short trip to Hunagry. :dance:

Anyone know if this and all of the pre-season games will be shown on AVTO/Arsenal TV? Just wondering whether it's worth ending the subscription or not.

Thanks.

They should be

Wonder how many of the Euro 2008 players will be back for this tour; I expect Gallas, Senderos, Fabianski, Djourou to return, as they either didn't play or were knocked out early. RVP could return for this, although he went a bit further. Cesc will probably be given a slightly more extended break.

cesc should be given a break till later into the emirates cup... he played a lot of games last season and also with spain... we cant afford a thierry type injury to cesc now!

All of our pre season games will be on Setanta , Arsenal TV.

Never heard of them... but we'll beat them :)

This games on Tuesday.

What kind of squad do we expect?

Same as against Barnet?

Our French Euro 2008 players would be back in training as will Ade but i think this may be too soon for them

I want to see Diaby play through the centre, if he is indeed going to take that role against West Brom.

Hope to see Vela as well.

I think our African contingent and some of the Euro 2008 players will return for training today, but whether they will be ready to play a game tomorrow remains to be seen.

Think Diaby's injured...again. I wanna see Ramsey start again to see if he is as impressive as he was against Barnet.

Where are Haladas from?

Hungarian team I think.

no.. Austrian team.. wait.. isnt hungary is in Austria?? :coffee:

It used to be until 1918.

And will be again!

:fanaticalaustriannationalism.gif:

I really hope Hoyte or Traore don't play tomorrow, they've really disappointed for the last few games I've seen them in, Hoyte should be sold to Villa and then we can finally bring in another defender, a GOOD one <_<

I'd like to see Barazite, Vela, Ramsey, Whiltshire, Gibbs etc all get a run out... But I'd also like RVP to start too :good:

Good call on Hoyte.. he is 3rd choice RB, cant even compete with Eboue the plonker..

sell him and bring a good defender.. :goodpost: FACT

Thank you for your VH1 moment but you are wrong.. they were united as a Austria-Hungary Kingdom.. but then came nationalism and Adolf Hitler.

When does the match start over here (BST)? 5:30 I presume.

Kickoff is 6:30 pm CET, so yeah, 5:30 pm over here.

Thanks.

:good:

As long as he wants to stay we should keep him as back up. Plus its looks better for us to have a proper home grown player in our squad..
