Arsenal - pre match thread.

[BlueMoonz1977]

A bit apprehensive for the game tomorrow. We need a massive performance but we have been abysmal against the best teams in the league this season

Nacho hat-trick would be great though

The riot squad might be needed if Pellegrini makes a total rick of his team selection - he has ruined the season for so many people me included.

Worried about him messing the last two games up and the Shite getting in CL !

From that standpoint it is irrelevant who he picks as there will always be some who disagree and throw a strop. He cannot win picking teams, no manager can really

Win tomorrow and United have to win at West Ham, don't want it to go to final day!

He can win by only picking players who will be at City next season and will want to bust a gut to get themselves into the CL.

He will rightly get slaughtered (and frankly should be sacked on the spot) if he insists on giving 'final appearances' to once good players who he and they and we all know will be out of the door in a few weeks.

Because they will not have the same personal motivation and will be there not for reasons connected with next season but sentiment for past seasons.

The time to give those players a last farewell is AFTER the match.

And they will get a far better one than he will engineer if we win and the mood is upbeat than if he shoehorns them into a losing cause.

That surely cannot be open to any reasonable disagreement now or at 3 pm tomorrow.

If we go down fighting with players who will be here next season doing their best that is fine by me. Losing is not the issue. Losing whilst players more focused on saying bye bye are not striving every sinew for success surely is.

If he picks yaya in a 2 and 442 with bony and sergio i think that would be worthy of a collective strop

 

[MadchesterCity]

Do you think I could change my name on here to Tarquinius Superbus?

Tarquinius Megabus has a better ring to it

It would be worthy of him being sent packing and someone else picking the side because it would be indefensible. Though it is sadly far from unimaginable that he just might.

Win tomorrow, West Ham beat the scum

Job done

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Team news at 3pm will be fun

It usually is.

Apart from picking Nacho more often and not allowing Kolarov or Demichelles near the stadium exactly who are the players who should have been playing who haven't this season when everyone is going on about team selection?
