Arsenal v City Pre Match Discussion Thread

[welsh_andy]

be happy with a point if im honest, but we need all 3. im nervous bout this one, although our defence has shored up a little of late, if we play at our best we have em 0-2 if we play as we have been playing, 1-0 gunners

lol, and you call us arrogant and deluded. Yes, you are league champions, but that hardly makes a City game our Cup Final.

There are bigger games for us. The North London derby is the biggest. Then United. Chelsea is third. City has probably replaced Liverpool and West Ham as next in line, but ''Cup Final'' is really pushing it.

I reckon draw or low scoring win for either side. While the MCFC V AFC matches at the Etihad have all been good spectacles in recent years, the AFC v MCFC ones have been dire defensive affairs.1-0 and 2 lots of 0-0 were the last three matches.

We struggle to create anything,so if Mancini parks the bus again we won't score. I'm actually hoping United win today. With a 10 point gap City will have to go for the win which should suit Arsenal better than a defensive City.

Head says 1-0 City and Heart says 1 - 0 to the Arsenal.

Nothing to do with us winning the league, ever since the takeover and then Adebayor and Nasri signings there has been an irrational hatred from a lot of Arsenal fans

With the elephant washer gone and Nasri unavailable there won't be any hate figures to fuel the atmosphere, which is a shame. Our home support is shit at the best of times.You only get guaranteed noise twice a year for Spurs and United. Apart from that our crowd only shows signs of life if

a) we play fantastically well (which is rarely these days)
b) there is a controversial refereeing decision against us. Embarrassed to say it, but we are like scousers or Stoke on that front.
c) Cole,Adeayor or Nasri are on the pitch

Last year was a bit livelier than usual because Balotelli acted like a tit, Nasri was there and the late winner. I hope I'm wrong, but I reckon it will be morgue-like, not helped by the small away contingent.

Like you lot were saying the cup game last season was the loudest the Emarites
had been for a while....the hysteria when Nasri touched the ball was...well...like
pre-pubescent girls screaming at a JLS concert

well, the League Cup home matches are exactly that. Thousands of pre-pubescent kids who can get in because of the reduced admission prices. I take my kids to them. Even though the atmosphere is a bit schoolboy international, I prefer it to most league games where you are surrounded by whining season ticket holders and corporates.

"Elephant washer" ?? is it an English thing that people called Barton are thick cu*ts

Wasn't impressed with Dean's performance last time turned up at The Etihad.

Last three visits to the emirates in the league have been a disgrace tbh we always put 10 men behind the ball and create fuck all, just hoping today we can be more adventurous and take the game to Arsenal.

The problem with taking the game to them is that they have quick players who can hit us on the break whereas we dont have any at present. So if we are taking the game to them, we better make sure we convert most of our chances.
