Official Arsenal vs Manchester City FC Thread

[PaleBlue]

It's a two-edged that the international 'break' results in so many of our players actually not getting a break at all!

Arsenal are coming back into form and getting some big names back. Our awful away record means we're going to be up against at the Emirates but if De Jong is back fit, and Bellamy able to start then we can be hopeful of a point, if we try too hard I fear we'll get "Blackburned". Total concetration required by the back four and the DMs, hope Bridge is back for this.

Think the game should be good. I am travelling down to the game so hoping for a good atmosphere. Have we sold out our allocation ?

I'm going to this one and looking quite forward too my first visit to the Emirates.

If we play anything like we did against the dippers last mounth, we can get a result there but as the op said they are hitting form and probably finish the top 4 ahead of villa.
As for our away record, we a due a good result or a win b4 the end of the season. So my prediction: 0-1 city (Bellamy)

Irrespective of Arsenal 16 match unbeaten streak in the premiership we have nothing to worry about here.

If we stay solid at the back we can grind out a 0-0 draw.

Given that Brazil are playing at 1am Wednesday night, they probably won't get back to Manchester Friday at the earliest. Could Hughes then use this as an excuse to drop Robinho (and Elano) - something he has apparently been wanting to do for a while. If he did we could have a very solid set up: de Jong, Zabaleta and Kompany all sitting with Ireland and SWP either side of Bellamy/Bozhinov. Previous events at the Emirates suggest that if you sit back you can frustrate Arsenal. One problem would be when Arshavin got one on one with Richards though....
