Arsenal - pre match thread.

The dilemma is that we cannot trust Pellegrini to pick 'the' best team available and adopt the best tactics we can to break the Arse down. This slow, sideways bollocks will get compromised by a swift, efficient midfield that is Arse. Hopefully Pellers will get bedded down before Sunday!!
 
I am hoping nasri has a point to prove and helps create chances, with kdb playing more central.

Should win by the odd goal.

The only consolation i can take from this season of under achievement , is the false hope we have given to the dippers , who thought they only had to turn up to win the League Cup and the Rags who still think even at this late stage , that the Turtle will lead them into the top 4 , we might have had a dodgy season , but it will still be better than these two "massive" football clubs and their deluded supporters. We beat the goons on Sunday and the Rags can look forward to Thursday night football , hopefully alongside the dippers when Sevilla give them the runaround in their final.

Liverpool have had a reasonable season and are one game away from CL and the Turtle if he can get his improving side to win the next four games could end up in CL and have a cup. It is us who will become deluded if we believe that these clubs don't represent a serious challenge moving forward. With respect to Arsenal I hope we win and we just might BUT don't be surprised if we are in deep shit come six o'clock on Sunday. There is little or nothing to suggest that our players and management are going to turn up in the right frame of mind so I hope that the crowd does.

I always turn up with high hopes and determination to urge the team on, after the first ten minutes I have got over it and am completely deflated with our pedantic and timid football.
 
I know our record against top-8 teams this season makes for depressing reading but if we do beat arsenal won't be that bad a season.
CL semifinal
League cup winners
Third place in the league (of course assuming we beat Swansea afterwards)

Considering the injury list, few top players no longer at their best and issues with tactics against pressing teams, that's relatively decent ahead of hopefully a good revamp of the squad thus summer.
The "if" is the biggest thing really. Given our pathetic league form we don't really deserve to be in CL next year so can't really complain if we fall short. The LC win was sweet but not sure that it represents a major achievement. Likewise it is unfair to deny that we have made strides forward in Europe but the two legs against Madrid has shown there is still a long road ahead. You are right it won't go down in the record books as a disasterous season if we win the last two games but it might if we don't.
 
As with all our games if we play with some tempo I'd always fancy us, we are just much too slow and ponderous.

The arse fans are also pissed off with Wenger, an early goal for us and the arse fans will be kicking off with their team.

First goal wins.
 
the light at the end of the tunnel is we are not going down hahahaha

been the best 5 years and many silverware's already won so this season Manchester city are in a so called mess hahahahahaa. for when I recall 30odd years going to main road and dreaming of winning just the league cup YES a trip to Wembley that's all and how hard can it be. its not the biggest thing to win the big teams play weakened teams so why not I used to think

I recall 6 or 7 seasons in a different league yoyo up and down and back again the dreams of winning the league cup gone up in smoke. 2016 league cup winners MANCHESTER CITY and am feeling f*cking mad about just winning the league cup

You've summed it up perfectly. I seem to remember the rags winning the LC and finishing 3rd (?) .The GPC listed the big clubs who hadn't won a trophy who would swop places with them. At the time I would gladly have done.

There's been plenty of lows but also highs: the SF v Everton and the penalty shoot out v Liverpool immediately spring to mind. The run in the CL shouldn't be discounted.

Loads to look forward to next season but the next two matches are absolutely key. Win them and it's been a decent although strangely depressing season: probably achievement wise it would beat coming second last time round and finishing potless although we all know it masks a different reality. A very strange season really.

I'd rather not even think about not beating Arsenal though. Not making the CL would make the season a disaster.

Hello Europa League.
 
Surely Nasri must be bursting a gut to play in this game, he doesn't have a point to prove but it would be great to see him get the winner.
 
Hopefully Nasri and Nacho will play this game definatly 2 players who will wanna play and put a performance in. Hopefully we will be up for this and get a good win for what will be a massive 3 points. 3-0 City
