Walcott referencing the Rice fee. Comms to follow suit?

He won't get another gig after that.

Sky all about the Arse. I so want us to win big today, need Earl to get a few if possible

This is the Arsenal section of the build-up. They’ll have the City but next.

Trossard, Halloweens in a few weeks you dead looking ****.

 

[jimharri]

Haha, Walcott going against the Sky/Redshirt grain there. When posed a statement that Rice has had a good start for Arsenal, he said, ‘so he should for that amount of money’!

No more corporate jollies at the Emirates for little Theo, I'm guessing.

 

[TrentGrisham]

No Martinelli and no Saka. Great news for us

Trossard worries me more than Martinelli. I agree Saka is a big loss but Jesus is a handful himself. Gvaridol will have to be locked in.

Fair enough of Micheal Owen saying city have good squad depth ain't true as people think .

 

[leithblue]

No prediction?

It's about time they beat us in the league; I'll do me usual, loss. 3 nil to les arse

;)

**sniff

To be fair I’ve not gone into a game thinking we’d win since about 1983

He’s been saying it loads recently. I think it was on MOTD recently he said something like ‘Foden really struggled last season and couldn’t get in the team for ages’… he got injured, then got appendicitis, then had an operation, then picked up a knock again.

I can’t be doing with Richards me. He just talks bollocks constantly, wish he was never on our games and just have him there for a laugh for all the other games.

I agree. He keeps trying to spin a negative narrative with foden. He was arguably Motm midweek and he’s been excellent at times this season. He’s also starting most games - yet here come Micah doubting him again

 

[malg]

The stats don’t lie, we really struggle without Rodri. Boys really need to step up today in his absence

The Rodri Team.

Jesus. 12 consecutive league wins v Arsenal. No wonder they fucking hate us.

Due a 1-1.

 

[bridgeno1]

I'm glad he plays for us but it is funny that Trossard looks like that character in every zombie movie who's just been infected but hasn't quite turned 100% zombie just yet.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Interesting teams today. Great faith in Lewis from Pep. Interesting that Jesus plays wide for Arsenal I think he’s better wide left than centre forward. Ake/ Gvardiol will be kept very busy. Surprised to see Rice and Jorginho in midfield together for them.

Big games needed from our entire XI but if we perform we should be ok

 

[malg]

Due a 1-1.

Hahahahaha......get in there.

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Gvardiol
Ake
Kovacic
Nunes
Bernardo Silva
Foden
Grealish
Haaland

Pep all but told us Wednesday that Alvarez was starting today with a sub appearance.

No way was he resting him up for Argentina 2 matches straight.

[Brewie]

I'm nervous now

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

E war woo war?

No eyed deer ;)

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Hahahahaha......get in there.

Have you thought of changing your name to ma1-1g?

Have you thought of changing your name to ma1-1g?

Bloody good shout, but it would ruin the fun of the pre match build up. There were a few yesterday.

 

[bluevengence]

Come on City lets put the Tarquins back in their box.
