Arsenal (A) - Wed 15th Feb, 19:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[eastmanc]

I feel like those going should bring a banner saying something along the lines of 'Give the Emirates money back.'

Or give the Emirates their dirty oil money back.

 

[117 M34]

Will be happy to take a draw here. Can't afford to lose.

Is there an away fan pub?
Not been to the Emirates for a good few years and can't remember what I did pre match.

False 9 for this game please and double up on saka and I reckon games ours.

 

[Indaparkside]

1-1 game heading for a draw then Alvarez will score a screamer in fergie time

 

[MarsLlama]

It seems the footballing Gods are with you

This is an absolutely wild way to start a City post one week after we were accused of some of the most serious crimes in the history of British sport.

We will need energy for this so Bernado starts for me. I would trust Mahrez and Grealish to start also. Ruben a must too.
Let's make the Arsenal Fan TV muppets get back to their normal state of whinging and crying.

 

[bavarian blue]

A draw will encourage United.

It's quite unbelievable the arrogance when you consider the nonsense we've had to put up with. Cartel clubs, Premier league and referee syndicate all working against us

There are a couple of pubs near Finsbury Park which allow away fans - the Blackstock is one. Then it's about 15 mins to walk to the library.

Cheers. I'm going on my own so could do with finding a pub with city fans in.
Although I am driving so will be sticking to shandy.
Parking on someone's drive about a mile north of the ground for hopefully a quick getaway.

 

[Harvster]

A draw will encourage United.

But fortunately enough they are absolutely dog dirt

Emirates ,Rwanda, Hypocrisy

A draw will encourage United.

It will indeed. But encouragement alone can not polish a turd.

Or "Arsenal - pay the Parlour tax" ".

Very typical city scenario losing to opponent that have not been at their best on the past few weeks.

I settle for the draw, must avoid losing in Emirates.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Coote replaces Brooks on VAR.

That's two rags officiating a game which could help them.

 

[kaz7]

Lets 'ave it boys

Need a left back though i think

Yes they are moving the pieces into place. Arsenal have been moaning about the officials and, hey presto, they get them changed.

Martinelli and Saka out wide - possibly need both Ake and Walker in and to be right on it

It seems the footballing Gods are with you and I imagine you’ll be heavy favourites for the game. Anyway, I’ve decided not to post now until after the game. If you win or if we draw, I’ll be back Thursday as I’ll be going to the game. If, in the unlikely event we win, I’ll go into radio silence until after the next weekends games. I think that’s fair.

I don’t know who‘ll be going from you Mancs but in an innocent sort of way, it’d be nice to eyeball a couple of you over a pint. I think we might get on. You never know.

Good luck on the way down, enjoy the game but not too much!

I think we will struggle with you having two great wide players in form...im hoping we can get away with a draw here - I don't think we are favourites at your place - should be a good game though, in that respect i hope we both enjoy the game. As a football fan i hope so, but as a City fan, of course i want us to nick it! Blackstock Rd your haunt?

Need Ake and Walker - although limits us on the ball, we have to try and stop Martinelli and Saka easier said then done - possibly double up on Saka aka FA Cup
