Arsenal (h) pre-match thread - 17/06/2020

So this sky sports crowd effect then is it going to be just crowd noise with no specific team in mind, or taylored towards certain teams? This evening in an empty stadium are we going to hear the arse supporters out sing the city home fans ?

Here's how the stadium is set up for tonight.

No Marcus Rashford tribute banner ?

What are those black things behind the goal? Look like giant speakers or something.

 

[OliMCFC]

Ederson
Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy
KDB, Rodri, Foden
Sterling, Aguero, Sane

is what I hope, I expect both Silva's in place of Sane and Foden. Maybe Dinho over Stones

Is the correct reaction here... this is bollocks not football

No just too many attention seekers.

If they really can’t give a shit, they would not be on here.

 

[Rascal]

Many match going fans are looking forward to the games too.spoken to quite a few.
If you dont like it dont watch , but thousands of us will.
Sorry to disappoint you .

It doesn't disappoint me its your choice and I do hope all those who do watch, enjoy the game and we win comfortably. I don't have SKY and cant afford to pay for it, so wont be watching.

When the Derby is kicking off at 3AM on a Tuesday morning live from Thailand I hope you feel the same.

It is my right though to be totally pissed off with the whole charade. When 1000s are allowed to go to Primark and queue to get in, it fucking irks me that once again match going football fans are treated like we don't matter. But I will let that drop because I have been told off about posting on this thread.

Enjoy the game. Come on City.

“Is there a fire drill” will be clearly audible in the 80th minute

They are large spitoons for roving reporters

What I am looking forward to is some cricket, many is the time I have sat at OT with a couple of hundred others and had a great day.

Yeah man, “There can be no summer in England without cricket”

I really couldn’t care less about tonight. Just can’t get excited about it at all :(

 

[Shirley]

Perhaps it’s me but it looks so sterile and sponsored, is that how it will look tonight?
Get the 1894 EUFA banner in there!

 

[citymad]

That's pretty impressive. Yes its full of sponsorship but that's in every sport these days, it's what brings the money in.

 

[Ban-jani]

Looking forward to it now.

Come on the blues.

 

[Barcon]

Looks like I'm about to do a complete 180 on this. I have said all along that I won't be watching a single minute of any matches but I pay for a subscription to DAZN for my Mum and she wants to watch, so I will watch.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Think this is going to feel like a pre-season friendly, low intensity and error strewn. We’ve a good recent record against Arsenal which is under threat due to Arteta having a good insider knowledge and the bizarre nature of the fixture. I can see a scrappy 1-1 or 2-2.

 

[bluemoon1256]

Is there any truth on the Aguero not starting rumours guys? Would’ve expected to see him start.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Are they the VAR screens or the screens showing the pictures/videos of fans that were mentioned somewhere?

I have BT sport and tried to watch some of the German league when it re-started.....fucking boring as shit without fans.

I will try again tonight with city but I’m hoping it ‘feels different’.
