Emirates Cup (I come in peace)

31 July 2011

Not here to WUM, but I just wanted to know how the Emirates cup works and how it is decided who plays who? Is it drawn out randomly or do Arsenal just choose? For instance why couldn't Arsenal play PSG and why couldn't Boca play New York Red Bulls?

I missed it as I was out but how did Thierry Henry play? Always great to see a legend back in England. I heard RVP scored as well, just wondering what the Arsenal performance was like and which players stood out?

Something to do with Sepp Blatter and Ronaldo I think.

One of the rules seems to be that Arsenal are forbidden from winning it.

I rather think you should go carefully study "A Short History of Nearly Everything Including the Prestigious Emirates Cup" before posting such foolish statements Boza.

Today was nothing more than a hicup. A blip. A minor catastrophe. That's all.

From an Arsenal perspective, the Emirates Cup must seem like not being invited to your own birthday party every year.

Probably not, considering we usually do win it. How about you watch it rather than just assume we don't ever win it.
