Wow, THREE Arsenal players, maybe some brighter times ahead!!! Shock in
Terry still being in the squad, Lampard after his slamming of the fixture!!!

But then again it is a friendly against a team who have been a fallen giant
for more than half a century now, still being haunted by past legends who
have never been emulated!!!

LOL

I wish they can go through another era like they did in the mid 1900s, I
don't think anyone would begrudge that!!! Particulary as most people alive
today either didn't see it, or were not old enough to understand football to
a decent extent. Or were simply not alive at the time, which is where I fall
into!!!

I watched Liverpool play in the Europa league, and how Joe Cole wasn't
selected in this squad is absolutely unbelievable!!!

Will the GK be throwing the ball into his own goal this game?

Some interesting selections, although this has to be one of the most
meaningless friendly matches of all time. The timing is appalling.
