"It could possibly be tighter than people might expect"
Mark Stimson snackar upp inför Arsenal.
Barnet FC är förstasidestoff på www.arsenal.com numera. I två fina artiklar berättar Barnets manager Mark Stimson om hur viktig matchen är för the Bees och att det kan bli jämnare än många tror men att det viktigaste är att undvika skador:
"Financially it is massive for the club. The chairman, myself and everybody at Barnet appreciate Arsenal coming down and all their supporters. It is certainly a great help for us and again we look forward to the game as Barnet have in years gone by."
"The two clubs have had a very good relationship for years and we want to try and keep that because financially for us, it’s huge. It is a chance for our supporters to see some of those big names come down and show how the game should be played in the right way. Long may that continue."
"For the new players I've signed for the club it was a big thing for me to say we were playing Arsenal in pre-season."
"We've also got the likes of Charlton and Southampton coming to Underhill, so it is a good selling point for me. I know all the new players and the old players are looking forward to Saturday's game immensely and it could possibly be tighter than people might expect."
"The clubs are at different stages of pre-season, the Arsenal players will have come back after us and we'll be at certain levels but hopefully it will be an enjoyable game for everybody involved. We've had a game already but I wouldn't have thought that gives us an advantage! If Arsenal's players get the ball popping around it will be very difficult for our guys."
"The main thing is no injuries, that is the biggest thing in pre-season and I'm sure it is the same for Arsenal."
