2025/26 pre-season

Arsenal have already played 2 competitive friendlies against Milan and Saudi Sportswashing Machine so far, playing virtually their strongest 11 in both matches. It seems really weird to see, I remember when Wenger would have them face some non league sides and then off to Austria every year!

But they had 80% of the fans in the stadium and it was "only a friendly" couldn't tell on Spursplay but did their fans keep up the tradition of keeping quiet and leaving early?

Yeah it was insane how many of them were there. We made a lot of noise, not sure if came through. We spent 90% of the game singing “second again ole ole” to the gooners around us.

And there was a definitely some leaving early…but I was more weirded out by those who chose to stay. Loads of gooners left watching us lift the ‘trophy’ and even in the stadium bar afterwards. If we’d lost that I would have been out of the sharpish.

I suppose it could be expected as "they" aren't the "right sort of fan" for some. I gave up my season ticket last season but I will always remember the Korean fans for their enthusiasm and good manners, they were a pleasure to meet.

Was it mostly Hong Kong locals plus visitors from mainland China watching our NLD victory?

As I’d hope that Spurs fans would comfortably outnumber Goons if the NLD got played in South Korea; a mate is married to a South Korean lady and it sounds like Sonny has made us more popular over there than even what Park Ji-Sung did for ManUre previously.

I imagine a lot came from China too. We had a pretty big contingent from Guangzhou come down (only an hour or so away)
