Arsenal vs City pre-match thread

[Deleted member 13905]

arteta could be our secret weapon today.

if we score first the home crowd will crumble and get on the backs of the team and wenger.

very much looking forward to this.
after guardiola banging on about us not taking chances, hopefully we'll bag a fair few.

ctid, quite naturally.

10.30am train down to the smoke. Cannot wait. Like others I am looking at the 2 goal lead thrown away with Spurs and the Chelsea home game we should have won. If we beat Chelsea on Wed we could have been level with them or a lot closer. I actually thought a draw was fair in the Liverpool match. I remember saying several times in that match at one nil down I will take the draw. Come on the Blues.

They were supposed to be fired up against West Brom but lost 3-1. They have many tough games left. Don't see them making top 4 win or lose today.

A loss confirms it though

Fight or flight situation

Our record here is as bad as anfield , even in recent years when we have been much better than them

Hope I'm wrong but the people on here predicting a decent win is more hope than expectation

1-1

Can't see beyond a draw I'm afraid.....no confidence in this team to do much before the end of the season

 

[Powello]

I can see us starting the game cautiously, just knocking the ball about side to side back to the keeper, playing it slowly trying to draw arsenal out, then repeat the process till they make a mistake.

Yeah, but it's us that's rolling into town today and I think we all know which Arsenal will turn up. It certainly won't be the one that faced West Brom.

We're always poor away at the Arse, though they've been pretty much rolling over lately to much lesser opposition. Still, I expect a tough game in which we create more than enough chances to throttle them, but inexplicably miss followed by the traditional sucker punch. Hopefully not though.

A draw wouldn't be too bad a thing.

Four of us joining you shortly, is the food market open?

 

[york away to this!]

I'm quite excited for this one. First bbq of the year, few afternoon beers and watch the match... I've got a feeling the arse will be really up for this one, we'll be magnificent and win it. 1-3. Which means we'll be dire and be 4-0 down after 20...

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Depends which ref turns up

Hopefully an impartial one who will let the game flow

Not much hope though I think

First game after the break so it could be anything,so long as we don't go behind first then we have a shot

 

[chaddblue]

Just watching the start of super sunday. Think it should have been renamed the Arsene Wenger show. Not sure Arsenal are actually playing as they haven't mentioned any opposition

 

[richards30]

Surely we are gonna win a big game??? No reason for it not to be today besides our own application to the job

Iker is currently breaking down Pep's tactics on NBC. Snappy but low key. Looks like an salesman at J Crew.

 

[Armaan]

We've been poor away from home against the big teams for a while now so can't see us winning :(

 

[Pleatfooted]

Had a punt on a group score bet ,either 0-3, 1-3, or 2-3 @6/1

 

[Powello]

this will be arsoles cup final, they'll come out all gunners blazing,lets keep it tight.
stay cool, stay cool.

 

[mat]

Just put a quid on us winning 5-4 at 350/1

Sleeping bag is in deep shit . He'll moan as usual about money.

Just read that arse fans are planning another Wenger out protest today. Hope we smash the fuck out of them and he signs a 10 year deal, no more than they deserve, the ****s.
