lmao u can sit on those red track lines for a better view Very Happy

It's a multi-purpose stadium so the stands are, unfortunately, quite far away from the pitch itself.

Arsenal trained in this stadium yeterday:

alright, thats like wednesday midnight for me i think. Could be interesting making it to my 9:30 lectures the next day.

Decent size stadium - with their population and love for football, it would sell out right?

Not a big fan of the race track around it, My local team's one is bad enough because it's used for international cricket some times too, so it's circular.

by Sri Tue 12 Jul 2011, 02:09

So the match is being telecast where? Any chances of some half decent streams?

by Kiwigunner Tue 12 Jul 2011, 02:17

Certainly will be streams, but someone said something about ESPN casting an hour delayed. We'll be doing the usual process of frenzied searches 5 minutes before kickoff i guess.

by Jay29 Tue 12 Jul 2011, 02:18

ArsenalPlayer are showing the matches live, so I'm sure someone will post up a stream from them. Last year we managed to find a number of Arsenal TV Online streams, so no reason why we can't do the same again.

by Sri Tue 12 Jul 2011, 02:19

As long as some kind soul posts it here, we are all happy Very Happy

Arsenal training in Malaysia. Walcott and Miyaichi had a race; both finished at the same time. Exciting for new season

nope, don't think so

by Jay29 Tue 12 Jul 2011, 19:11

We've yet to apply for a "special talent" visa for Miyaichi and may not even do so this year. Wenger is going to look at him in pre-season first and then he may apply for one if the guy plays well. No guarantee he'll get one, though.

If he doesn't, then he has to go on loan to the Netherlands next year.

by Sushi Master Tue 12 Jul 2011, 20:14

Where would Miyaichi play, anyways? Left wing?

by Jay29 Tue 12 Jul 2011, 20:22

Left wing is his natural position, but he can also play on the right. At this point a loan would probably be better for him, since Nasri is staying and we still have Arshavin and Rosicky.

After that, though, a spot will be availabe to him, I'm sure.

I feel we should apply for a permit, anyway, and try and send him on loan to an English club so he adapts to the game over here.

by ArsenalWenger Tue 12 Jul 2011, 20:34

Denilson got one I think, albeit he was a captain for for one of the youth brazil squads (can't remember which) so that gives you an idea of the kind of evidence needed for special talent permit. Tbh I think Wenger will go for it, and succeed, pre season will finalise his decision. Calling him a "welcome surprise" as well as raving about his performances in Holland all points to Wenger's intentions.

by Jay29 Tue 12 Jul 2011, 20:37

Denílson was actually quite a talent back in the day. He captained the U17's, I believe. Even in his first couple of years in England he looked to be a great talent.

I'm sure being Brazillian helped a lot. Who are you more likely to take notice of: a Brazillian kid who captains a team or a Japanese kid just coming out of shcool?
