Watching Arsenal v Celtic now.

Arsenal play some superb football.

Why can't we play like that? :(

I think we'll get beaten tonight.

The defending I've seen from our pre-season games has been poor.

I am with you but I have spoken to a lot of Arsenal fans in the last two months ( WC down here in SA - fan parks etc) and to a man they say that they would rather play like Wimbledon if it meant they would win something....

Funny old game?

Hate to say it but I think we're going to get spanked.

2-1 Villa. And it does matter. We paraded the peace Cup as if it was something worthwhile so friendlies do matter.

The Birmingham Senior Cup is one of the oldest competitions in the World, it was Villa's first ever trophy and we still (just) hold the record for most wins.

The Peace Cup and the Gurdiana(?) Cup are glorified pre-season knockabouts.

Get excited all you want, it's still only a pre-season friendly.
