2008 Emirates Stadium Cup Thread

hamburg has been winning this tournament(and hence participating the next year) for the past 3 years!!!

LOL the tournament was created last year (2007) in which arsenal won and hamburg didn't participate last year. last years teams were arsenal valencia PSG and inter.

Hamburg did compete last year.
Diaby's tackle, from what I saw at the time got the ball and from reports I have read, Sneijder fell awkwardly. It's unfortunate, but don't hate Diaby for it.
And about the freshness of the players, it isn't Arsenal's fault that Schuster didn'trest certain players against the weaker Hamburg while Arsenal did against the strong Juventus... we'll see one day if we get matched up against you in CL who's full squadwill win ona competitive level. Perhaps we can beat you again in Madrid like in 2006. :-D

who said it was arsenals fault? it was a fact that hindered madrids performance today. btw the strong juventus LOL? they lost 3-0 to hamburg and yes the score matched the game play. it was probably their b team but our b team beat hamburg 2-1.

he got the ball but also sneijders leg. if you get the ball first does that mean you can murder the player after? he shouldnt have even tackled from behind in such a game. anyways sneijders MRI is tomorrow. but i am pretty sure he is out for at least 6 months.

bichare sneijder i hope its nothing serious even though i doubt that, diaby is fked why such a tackle in a meaningless 'fun' game??????

Does playing 16 and 17 yr olds mean u r taking a tournament seriously??
since when??

Both teams had mixture of youth and old and a and b squad teams.

Feel really bad for Sneijder, hope he recovers quickly. He is a great player.

Hope Diaby was not malicious in the tackle. have not seen it yet.

I watched the match, even the one they played Juve.

Their intensity and percentage of possession was very high yet their very efficiency was low and unless they make some changes Arsenal is going to have the same season as they did last maybe even worse since they lost Hleb and Flamini; attractive football with no results!
