the emirates cup..how was it for you?

So first of all let me say congratulations to New York Red Bulls,,thats what you do when teams win a tournament i guess.
So after 2 days 180 mins what have we seen and learned?
First things first,,the emirates cup is a competition in name only,,yes we usually win it and when we do we are ridiculed for winning our own competition.
When the turnover of players is 25 approx over 180 mins,its a competition in name only.
When the suggestion that 1 of your former players plays 75 mins for the opposition and 15 minutes for you,,its a competition in name only.
Dont get me wrong i would have loved to have won the emirates cup,,silverware is hard to come by at the best of times ,but its acompetition in name only.
Defensively we have seen that Carl Jenkinson is defintely a player with potential,athletic,with a turn of pace and ability to get to the deadball line and whip crosses in,,,we have learned Armand Trarore has bulked up and maybe Juventus helped his development after all.
Unfortunately we have discovered Sebastian Squaillachi is this seasons Mikeal Silvestre,,and Johann Djourou has regressed and has issues with concentration and may actually be behind Koscelny in terms of squad place.
We have learned that Aaron Ramsey is relishing the chance to show us what a capable midfielder he can be and showcasing his shooting abilty,,we have learned Tomas Rosicky looks like the player we signed ...... 4 years ago,,that Gervinhio has geunine pace and is very direct and will score goals,,and looks like he will turn out to be a top top player.
We have found to our cost that when we make substitutions our replacements Vela and particularly Chamackh look lost and not up to it,we have found out that Arshavin looks to have enjoyed his summer off ,,looking at his waistline.
We have learned we are really in trouble if Robin Van Persie gets injured Arsenal up front will look mediocre.
What have we really learned to be honest,,well in a nutshell we have learned as a team and as group of supporters is that season 2010-2011,,has severely traumatized Arsenal FC as an entity,,when we go 1 goal even 2 goals up ,nerves kick in,,players get agitated,fans get agitated,,opposition no matter who they are sense weakness
We have learned the Emirates can become suddenly a very poisonous place when the chips are down and booing becomes commonplace at home far more than it does away,,unfortunately its at home when you need the groundswell of support more than ever.
We have learned that season 2010-11 is still not out of our system and ultimately at a time when we need to be solid as a team we seem to be like rabbits caught in the headlights,our early season fixtures offer no respite and there will be no hiding place in August and early September,the booing at the whistle today will seem mild if we end up losing to Liverpool and go out of the champions league qualifier within 10 days.
We have expierenced the good times but now is what being a true supporter means,,i fear rough times ahead
