Anyone Starting to Fancy Our Chances in the Arsenal Fixture?

FFS I gave us the kiss of death there didn't I. This has just popped up:

Arsène Wenger expects Andrey Arshavin to be available to face Manchester City on April 24.

The Arsenal manager rejected reports that the Russian could miss the rest of the season due to a calf strain.

The midfielder had to be substituted 27 minutes into the 2-2 draw with Barcelona and on Thursday Wenger told Arsenal TV Online that the 28-year-old would be out for three weeks.

However, reports emerged on Friday suggesting that Arshavin may miss the remainder of the season.

But at his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, Wenger wasn't in agreement with that speculation

"I don't think [he will miss the remained of the season]," said the manager.

"Let's count 21 days. It is April 2. April 23 he should be capable to play. Possibly Man City. He should be available for that game."

Depends which Man.City team turn up on the day !!

I think we will come away with 1pt at least.

Manchester City scientific formula.

Teams we're supposed to beat = lose or draw
Teams we're supposed to lose to = win or draw

 

[Rammy Blue]

we will beat Arsenal, easy.

the game will be the defining point of our season in taking 4th spot.

Couldnt play em at a better time with those injurys they've got, i think we will get something out of the game but we need to match them for 90mins not 45.

I bet Spurs fancy there chances too though, they play the at home a week and a half before us.

Dont know why i would of fancy us more if we still had Hughes, i think he had the measure of Mr Wenger

Hmm dunno, they beat us pretty easily at the emirates under Hughes last season.

THIS!

Obviously some people forget the midfield three of Zab, NDJ and VK! How reluctant he was to bring on Elano that day as well...

I remember then my dad saying 'did you see Adebayor shake Nedum and Dunnes hand when he went off?... I reckon he's coming to us next season;

 

[CarlioMonumento]

Im unsure on this..i would love to say a win but im pretty sure we will trip up somewhere...all those draw have made the end of this season very tight. Just a little more resolve or concentration in those games could have meant we would be 6-8 points for the better now...

I fancied our chances against them before their injuries. Arsenal have been made to look very average at home against the rags and Chelsea. the rags in particular played them exactly how we should. Soak up their pressure and hit them on the break. just like Chelsea away.
