I'd usually raise my hopes higher than a puff pastry pie crust in a 220° heated oven. But these soulless like training games leave me feeling cold. It feels like I'm facing a lukewarm bowl of insipid tasting frogspawn (tapioca pudding) from my school days. Dreary shite in other words.

I can let you have the phone number for Samaritans?

You may need it after the game .

Lol. Not that bad pal. Give it to the nearest Arsenal fan after we beat you. DT or Claude may need it. Know what I mean blud; )

But my expectations are lower than yours - you have the better team

Better team on paper, maybe. Was quite gutted losing Arteta. He's really sorting out the shit that Wenger left. You're defo improving.

We are improving and as I said in an earlier post, I’m hoping we might get something from today however we have had a pretty poor 5 years at the Etihad so I like to think whatever hopes I have for today, I’m not getting ahead of myself. It should be a good game - better than the scrappy Scouse derby earlier today

 

[citymad]

Bellend.

I would hope so :)

If my auntie had bollox...

She would still be a cockney wanker.

 

[K-Bo]

Really not feeling great about this tbh

Fair enough pal. I get your pessimism. I hope you feel little more pessimistic after the match.

I have the Samaritans number waiting for ya; )

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

A point wouldn't be the end of the world here considering the opposition and the problems we have injury wise. But a win would be massive.

It’s set up for a fuck up especially after the red scousers draw earlier..

 

[JGL07]

Agree with that. Luiz either looks like Beckenbauer or is total pants. Hoping for the latter

He looks like sideshow Bob to me.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Is De Bruyne confirmed as out of this one?

 

[tregyblue61]

Whoever is fit for tonight, can you just win please?

Thank you.

Yeah, you may well be right pal, but wouldn’t do us a lot of favours that outcome would it?

 

[Ric]

Yes.

 

[Ric]

Looks like Delap is in the squad, which suggests Aguero might not have made it.

 

[Tb1981]

Need a win to make points on the dippers
Would also boost confidence to get closer to top
Feel like we need to be in the mix rather than chasing this year
