Lazio 1 - 2 Arsenal
It might not be the Peace Cup or the Norwich Hospital Cup (Shared) but following on from our Emirates Cup, we stand a good chance of winning a second piece of silverware this weekend. A win over Serie A third placers Lazio means we are going into Saturdays clash with Ajax looking likely to win the tournament with a win against the Dutchies.

Ade Out...

Phil Phils Good...
Big Phil Senderos is looking forward to next season, and thinks our win over Lazio will be the boost we need to make a good start. He said: "We had a lot of youngsters out there, and we did a tremendous job. We wanted to show we can push on for the first team, and that is what we did. We have a lot of character and showed out there we are a good team. We want to be at the top, and are going to try our best this year. We do not mind being outsiders like everyone else thinks. We just want to play our own game and prove everyone else wrong..."

Normal service resumes next week... I expect...
