I'd happily lose this game...

Have you got a ticket for it mate?

Tricky, tricky, tricky.
Arsenal clearly won't prioritise the Europa League - they're nailed on for CL anyway.
I'd happily lose this game. Go full on catching them and go balls deep again for the CL.
Just an opinion

Know what you mean mate.
But I have never happily lost a game, ever.

Think CITY will be well up for this. This is a free hit at Arsenal. Could be a benchmark of how we both approach the 2 league games.

Can’t field a weakened team, we have to put a marker down on them. Going out another competition just leaves us with the champions league and a lot of work to do in the prem. We’ve only won the FA Cup twice since the takeover, wouldn’t mind seeing us lift it again.

Only? You should be grateful pal. Plenty of clubs have never won the FA cup or league cup.

We've only won the League 6 times since the takeover.

Sack the bored; )

You've never happily lost a salmon either. No wonder you blank so much; )

Pep will no doubt rotate again, but safe to say whatever side he puts out will be strong. Be interesting to see what team Arteta picks, I suspect a mix of first and second string. Looking forward to this game should be a belter.

We need to put a marker down in this game , nothing other than a strong performance and victory will make them tentative in the league game in a couple of weeks , i know its "only" the early stages of the F.A. Cup , but we do not need to encourage the Goons , their young enthusiastic team and self righteous fans need bringing down a peg or two

I didn’t say I wasn’t grateful. I would just like to see us do well in the FA Cup, at least get to the final this year.

This will be the strongest team. Its a mentally thing. Beat them here and it helps in the league games
