Arsenal away pre match thread

[argyle]

On current form, not expecting anything out of the game.

Arsenal are weak in midfield too and if we're dominated by them in that area it'll show just how bad ours is.

Ordinarily I'd say we'd outscore them but we're not scoring much lately.

I am a Half Empty glass of person - I cannot see City getting any points at our next 3 away games - Arse , Leicester and Watford. - Gloom and Doom.....................

there you go.

Bloody hell, there's not many remember Charlie Carioli. That's going back to Albert and the lion.

haha , he was Mr Blackpool , funny as f*ck as well , (i am old enough to witness colin bell make his home debut , and he was absolutely shite , think it was plymouth at home , and tony book had a blinder for plymouth , so yes i am an old git)

Your continued positivity is always such a tonic

Your continued positivity is always such a tonic

if you could put a few gins with the tonic , and put the sick swan DVD on ,i will become a happy clapper , and ignore the fact that we havent been playing very well , "couldnt give a f*ck cos were all p*ssed up" , you know the rest.

It depends on which City turn up. If Kun gets half an hour he will score.

We're gonna get dry humped down there.....

Stating facts about our awful away form will make some here call you a rag

The ironic thing is, those people are the ones that are acting most like rags. I don't understand why they think we have to be 100% positive all of the time, and think everything at City is amazing. It's one of the things we used to hate about the rags/Liverpool. I want the manager gone, i have no faith in him whatsoever anymore after a year of the same old shit, and i think we'll get spanked on Monday. But, I'll still be there on Monday night and i'll be delighted to be proved wrong.

Everything he said was correct, We're not playing well, at all! Even the players themselves acknowledge that.

 

[Scouse Blue]

I expect nothing with current form to be honest, but a draw would be a decent result.

Hate the travelling and bed in the early hours if we get soundly beaten!

Would take a draw right now.

Seems no-one is very confident about this game,me neither

 

[mosssideblue]

Surely after 9 days rest, tiredness cannot be an issue. I'm hoping we see us up for the fight.

I am confident Karen.They ain't any better than us.

Some of us aren't waving the white flag just yet.

I'm going to need my hand held in the match thread lol

I am mate, think Arsenal will just be to quick for our backline, offered a point now I'd snap your hand off but I see them just tearing us a new one, confident chap aren't I?, :-))

If we defend deeper with a midfield three of Yaya/Delph and Fernandinho with Silva and Sterling either side and Aguero up front for 60 minutes I think we've got enough to make them more concerned with us than we are them.
That would leave strong options from the bench if things need to change.
It obviously all comes down to wherever or not the players show up or not - if they do its a win for me.

For the first time ever I'll deliberately give this a miss on the tele'.
Instead I'm going to hide in the cupboard and come out at full time and look at the number of posts in the match day thread.
If it's getting up towards 100 or beyond I know we've got beat, anything less than say 70 we may have drawn or even better won.

 

[imtangledupinblue]

I hate our defence its fucking bobbins,it lets us down every week,
If it was'nt for them we'd piss this league.

 

[thereWasATime]

Arsenal and Leicester tie's would be season defining IMO. If we are able to beat them, then we will go into the second half of the season extremely high on confidence, if we loose then we would constantly be doubting ourselves.

I've purposely booked star wars tickets so I miss the match. I've only missed watching city either live or on TV about 5 times in the last 10 years, usually coz I can't stand the stress. We ALWAYS win when I do this. Usually against United. I'm fine at the games but on TV is a killer! So when we win on Monday I'm taking the credit ;-)

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Dreading this one, our record at the other big teams even when we've been playing well has been pretty disappointing so it makes me fearful when their confidence is up and our form is a bit iffy. Thing is, we are almost back to full strength if Kun starts so we can't really use the injury thing as an excuse if we lose. We do have the ability to go there and win, play like we did at Sevilla and we will.

 

[Brendan110_0]

I think we'll win.......losses this season have all come before/straight after a CL game. Now's the time to crack on :)
