You can see why Emirates Cup was cancelled this year. No more Henry to call upon to bring in the crowd.

Had we had one, genuinely think we'd struggle to get more than 15,000 and most of those would be fans of the other three clubs.

Lowest emirates cup crowd 51' 000 in 2008 huge crowd for a pre season friendly
You are talking out of your hat

Definite cross

Chambers disappointed me. Classic goal by Ox, but was useless the rest of the time

I know it's not saying a lot but Chamberlain was comfortably our best player in the second half, even before his goal. He linked well with Chambers when he was moved to right-back, created a good chance for Walcott and made a number of good runs. Not bad considering he hadn't played since February.

Hear hear

Why do you go through such lengths to defend a player that hasn't done anything noteworthy for us in his whole career,

This was directed at Callum with regards ox

We should have kept Benayoun because he once got a goal away at Olymiakos for us

Did we win the champions league?
The other poster said ox had contributed nothing to arsenal in his time here
I would say involvement in fa cups that we went on to win is contribution?
As it happens I believe the 6 points that benayoun earned from his contributions that took us from finishing 6 th to 3 rd was also an important contribution
The fact that wenger fails to push on from automatic champions league qualification is another matter
