  1. fletchman1963 @ 15, you do not play Pre-season football­ to gain experience, but to get in shape for the coming­ season. Are you saying that, if a team plays Pre-season­ games with other taems in North amaerica or Asia, they­ will gain more experience and win things more than­ other clubs that have played european teams in­ Pre-season?. this sugestion is very lame and laughable.

  2. It is called PRE-SEASON, so whoever a team plays does­ not determine the performance of that team in the­ season to come. If Chelsea, Mna utd, Liverpool play all­ the big teams around the world, is not a guarantee that­ they will do better than Arsenal, mind you, Arsenal­ will still play world class teams like Atletico Madrid­ and Rangers and PSG in the annual Emirates Cup­ tournament. or would you rather prefer Arsenal starts­ off with A team in Hong Kong or China before we know is­ Pre-season?. Why do people just sit on the fence to ­ criticize anything Arsenal.

  4. nobody except losers associated with ManUre gives a­ monkey's about the world club cup,and asia is­ hardly the home of the strongest football sides in the­ world,you @#$%.

  5. Atletico and Hannover are hardly minnows - I say fair­ play to Arsenal for helping out the wee teams like­ Barnet and at least Arsene Wenger plays an attractive­ passing game.

  7. i cant see were playing Barnet and going to­ Austria/Switzerland to play teams made up of part time­ player and farmers is going to give us any experience­ to help us with the coming season. Pre-season should be­ played againce north american teams who are in there­ season at the moment and againce experience players.

  12. Arsenal Ladies play in Borham wood the reserves play at­ barnet

    From liam, on Wed 1 Jul 1:21PM

  13. Wenger refuses to take his team to either North America­ or Asia because of the distance involved in travelling.­ He will have his summer camp in either Austria or­ Switzerland again. As people have said they always­ play Barnet because they also allow the arsenal ladies­ play home matches there as well.
    To #5. a couple of­ seasons ago we had a flying start in which were in­ front by a long way and then the Eduardo incident­ happened.

    IMO arsenal just a playground for wenger...
    he­ confidence on the beginning, but when end of season­ came and he failed, he said "these players need­ more experience for their age" as a reason...

    manu , chelski, lpool and the best teams in europe go­ to north america for a summer tornament and arsenal­ play Barnet and you wonder why we are off to a shiite­ start to the season the past few years..

    From chris, on Tue 30 Jun 9:44PM

  18. Arsenal's reserve side use barnet's ground to­ play their fixtures and so arsenal always play barnet­ pre-seaon. a visit from arsenal gives them their­ biggest gate of the season and so plenty of gate­ receipts. quid pro quo if you like.

    From Anthony, on Tue 30 Jun 6:34PM

  19. arsenal play barnet as a gesture as barnet lend arsenal­ their stadium for the reserve games.

    From Lizzie, on Tue 30 Jun 6:26PM

  20. arsenal's feeder club
