City Vs Arsenal Pre match Discussion Thread

[Ireland_for_pm]

Think we will send out a real statement on Saturday. Still buzzing from Tuesday still can't quite believe what happened.
I'd go for ;
Hart
Zab
Kompany
Demichellis
Clichy
Nasri
Fernandinho
Yaya
Milner
Silva
Aguero

Never usually confident about any game but I'm going for 3-0. Hart should be back now no fucking about.

 

[Balti]

I too am worryingly confident on this one.

Not complacent at all and sure it won't be easy but really expecting us to be at at 'em big time.

Come on City.

 

[Corazondezaba]

What does everybody think?
Personally I think they're going to be exhausted from the game against Napoli and their squad depth is nowhere near ours.

Add to that the fact we're playing at fortress Etihad and it's looking to become a great weekend for us.

Play the B team again, be fine

"Man City were OK against Bayern, But Bayern were complacent and played in 2nd gear. they were lucky with the Pen and Boateng made a Clanger."

Quote from a poster on Arsenal-Mania... nevermind then.

So we scored a decent first goal then!

Having looked at those forums I can't believe how negative they are after the napoli defeat. I know they didn't play well but there's a few posters on there criticising Wenger's tactics despite the season they've had.

Hoping they don't play Walcott - don't fancy Kolorov containing him. We need to keep the ball and tire them out - most of their 1st team will have had 2 days rest.

quick skim, even not taking into account their bias towards their team not too much confidence.
couldn't see goon-er2 in there anywhere.

The way the top forum goes from supreme confidence to ridiculous negativity as the Champions League games take place is hilarious.

One poster goes from

I reckon we'll win because Thierry will be on MOTD that night.

to

What's the point of us even turning up?

The game is already lost.

 

[TheSoulhunter]

Crucial, crucial game, we can't let them make the gap bigger. I'm pretty confident on the win. Come on City!

 

[kippax81]

They actually made that

hah wengers after totalling his shitty little car trying to catch kun, he's even lost a wheel!
that's what he gets for being such a tightfisted git.
we'll see a lot of this on Saturday morning, just replace Wenger and his clapped out shitheap with a clapped out mertesacker.
is anyone any good with these pics? Photoshop sheikh mansour flying past Wenger in a supercar and post it back where it came from please.

I had a look at that forum earlier, and I think that the intention was to laugh at themselves. The idea is that the wheels are about to come off their season on Saturday. The original picture didn't have Whinger or Kun on it, and was posted amidst a sea of pessimism. That's my take on it anyhow.. :-)

Back on topic...................I seriously hope we smash these into next week. 3/4 nil at least. Will that be enough though, to stop the inane ramblings of a particular gooner on the forum? We all know how it goes...........City need to sort out defence, it'll be between us, Chelsea and the Arse for the title, we beat Napoli, Dortmund, Spurs we still a good team blah blah blah......

A win and a convincing performance will shatter their confidence.
