Saint Garrett Posted 10 March, 2012 Share Posted 10 March, 2012 From: @DarrenArsenal1 Sent: Mar 10, 2012 23:42 We have agreed to play Southampton in a pre season game, as part of the OC agreement which may be also early august. #preseason #arsenal sent via web On Twitter: http://twitter.com/DarrenArsenal1/status/178626881149603840 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 10 March, 2012 Share Posted 10 March, 2012 If we're in the Prem next season then this seems highly unlikely, unless we are playing them in some "tournament" in Thailand or something. Clubs don't really ever play teams in the same division in pre season on home soil, except for the community shield of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintandy666 Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Unless it will be if we are to be involved in the 'Emirates Cup'? It's usually top teams in the Emerates cup I thought thought? And foreign... it's got a TV deal and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stkev7 Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Arsenal used to love a cheeky tour of Austria and we have been in Switzerland the last two preseasons... somewhere on the border of both countries would suit me! Not that I've clicked the link but who is the source? Some idiot that gets all his knowledge off Football Manager or someone at Arsenal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 11 March, 2012 Author Share Posted 11 March, 2012 He's just a ST holder + Shareholder, but he seems to know a lot about Arsenal and gets them spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macey_J2 Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Seems like a strange request in the transfer dealings, doesn't sound realistic, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Seems like a strange request in the transfer dealings, doesn't sound realistic, but we'll see. Why? Its not uncommon when a player is transferred from a big club to a small club (like Saints to Arsenal) (perhaps I should put that the other way round). I suspect that this was part of the agreement, but there are probably words in the contract that say something like "unless Southampton are promoted or Arsenal are relegated this season").
