Arsenal (h) pre-match thread

[Magicpole]

A test, but one that should be overcome with relative ease.

3.0

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

For once everything will go our way and we will win 4-0 and United will lose 2-0.



Kun brace, Sane and De Bruyne.

You know how Jose will set up. I think they’ll get a shock and lose, because I see the chavs being really up for this. But I can’t see past 1-0 or 2-1. You’re right about us, on the other hand.

I’d prefer to see Sergio on the bench for this, and Jesus starting. Gabi could destroy Mertesacker today. Kun can be brought on to the acclaim that he deserves during the match, if we’re doing well. It’s a more theatrically effective entrance.
Make the Etihad rock today, please. They deserve it. My effing flight was cancelled due to a thunderstorm! Still, there’ll be a friend — a good blue — in my seat. She’ll cheer for the two of us.

You know the rules...

I'll stick with 3-2 their counter will catch us out i think
Not sure about gabby starting as he hasn't scored for a while has he?

 

[deano ou812]

All this talk of being weary or leggy after a midweek game is bollocks,I remember a game against Liverpool where they had played thurs night and went to extra time,played us on the Sunday made three changes at the most and beat us fairly comfortably,we played weds night I don’t see it as a problem,what I see as a problem is arsenal containing our front 5-6 today..

Away end might be a bit depleted, no trains running out of Euston. Had to turn back to watch it on the TV myself.

 

[scousemanc]

Right, I'm off. Come on City!

 

[Armaan]

So nervous.

 

[rnblade]

Come on CITY!!!!!

 

[eversince 76]

Head says City win. Heart says City win. Arse says tight tense game.

Same here. Bit early for wetting my arse, but its the one certainty today. Us winning and whatever happens at Stamford B is a bonus.

Now a thread on sad cafe calling Stones “over rated”. Shit like that proves to me that footballing fans don’t really have a clue when it comes to other teams players as they very rarely watch them play week in week out. Stones has been amazing this season so reading that crap peed me off!

 

[Hoghead]

Spuds look weary after their Madrid game but can afford to against Palace. We can't afford any CL weariness against the Arse.
Typical.

Had a look to be fair most of the replies are saying he is having a good season and fits a Guardiola centre back, just the odd one saying he's overrated..

I am on the 9.20 from Euston running 90 mins late with ETA of 1.35
Will be tight....,

 

[Love_Each_Day]

Going for Sterling to score again today, just to prove he has no football brain.

 

[bavarian blue]

No trains out of Euston ? Just as well Utd aren't at home.

Lot of us on the 11:20 as the 10:20 was cancelled. Due in at 13:50 but now 10-15 mins late. That’s what I call right!

Brutal

All he does is score goals, assist and tackle. Useless player!
