ARSENAL WINS IT'S FIRST PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY, SIGNS GOALIE
I know, Sox-Y*nkees et cetera and I promised a preview but I was lazy today what with warring with (alliteration) dogboy on the ObeyPedro.com message board. anyway, after an Arsenal loss to Peterborough United, and draws to Barnet Town and Ritzing, Arsenal has beaten Austria Vienna 2-0 with goals from recently resigned Dennis Bergkamp and English Youth International Francis Jeffers. Up next is a match against Turkish champions Besiktas on Tuesday.
We also signed a new keeper. Jens Lehmann. Ironically, we were initially after Besiktas keeper Rustu Recber but Barcelona snatched him. Lehmann is a big guy with Champions' League experience and should be around for a year as youngster Stuart Taylor adjusts to being the #1 keeper after David Seaman was allowed to leave for Manchester City. This is only the second signing for Arsenal who are cash-strapped and trying to build a new stadium to compete with the richest club in the world, Man United. Sound familiar?
Anyhow: here is the remaining pre-season schedule for Arsenal. The English League season begins August 16th at home against Everton
7/29 - Besitkas (@ Austria)
7/31 - @ St. Albans City
8/2 - @ Glasgow Celtic
8/5 - @ Glasgow Rangers
8/10 - Manchester United (Community Shield @ Wales)
