I think arsenal wil set up against us the way they did against chelsea with 4/5 at the back. The best they can hope for tomorrow is a draw. Think we will be too strong for them though
and have voted for a win. Find it amazing that some people have voted that we will lose. I am normally the glass is half empty when it comes to city but still think we will win.

Be fearless like Pep's sharks we've earned the right to fear nobody on current form, it doesn't matter which Arsenal show up if we perform.

 

[Proy]

I think they'll sit back and play on the counter.

We need to be on it tomorrow, regardless of their position they have some good players who can deliver in big moments.

That said I think we'll have too much. We are just playing so well at the moment, it's going to take a monumental effort from them and a bad day for us for them to take anything.

Our biggest threat tomorrow is ourselves, as it will be for most of the season.

The statistics of W 1 D 4 L 4 of the last nine games is a convenient cut off point ,if you remove a meaningless community shield and daylight robbery semi-final and you go back 14 premier league games its something like W 5 D 5 L 4 ,regardless its always a tough game and their fans have a proper chip on their shoulders regarding MCFC , the oil money club has replaced them at the top table , and they are as bitter as you can get. They are typical old traditional SKY top 4 club always referring to their history and the self righteous belief of where they belong . The arrival on the scene of the Chavs and ourselves really gets up their noses and a good thumping tomorrow from us , will hurt them more than you can think. Just hope if we do go a couple of goals up , we do not take the foot off the gas , and annihilate them , supporters of the traditional SKY top 4 will never give us any credit , so we may as well beat them well and feed their hate.

Pivotal weekend in the title race.

We have to win to put that pressure on United.

Absolutely no way will Mourinho want to go into the international break either 7 or 8 points behind.

Actually whatever the result tomorrow I don't think its that important come the year end

Too early in the season

And anyway you lot are head and shoulders above the rest

It's your title now

PS It would still be nice beating you though!

It matters a lot IMO.

If we win playing well and then an hour later Mourinho goes out to get a draw, the dominant storyline of the entire international break will be Mourinho's cowardly tactics pushing them out of the title race week by week.

We went to Chelsea and played like the best team in the country too, it's a fixture where there is a direct comparison between us and them.

And Mourinho got very upset by the Liverpool criticism when they were 2 points behind, having to deal with it all over again while being 7 or 8 behind is going to drive him nuts and likely lead to him lashing out again and turning people against him.

Conversely if we draw or lose and United draw or win, the narrative will flip and there'll be 2 weeks of blowing smoke up Mourinhos arse.

So it's a fixture that's got significance beyond the 3 points.

All this talk of tired legs and recovery time since the Napoli game...Bollocks. We'll smash the Tarquins.
