***OFFICIAL*** Arsenal v City thread

[bigblue]

Sky are continuously orgasming and frothing at the mouth at the chance to tear into Mario. Was a bad challenge, but Mario will now be crucified on every channel for the next week.

[Ted Hughes]

Done well 1st half. Arsenal started strongly & City have now taken over the game. Set pieces are the big danger.

We are missing that player who can exploit the space go past a man & shoot. If Dennis Tueart had been in some of the positions Balotelli has been in, Arsenal would be 3 down.

If we play this right, we can chuck the kitchen sink at them for the last 30 mins & Arsenal usually crack in those circumstances. Whetherb Mario will still be on the pitch then is another matter. Atkinson will probably see the replay & fix him up.

The challenge by Song on Yaya was a fucking shocker, deliberately targeting his knee. He should be off as well.

Even if Mario scores 4 in the 2nd half, I'm afraid he's just not the right man for our club. He cost us the Europa last season & he's learned nothing. We keep thinking he has woken up but he's exactly the same & is likely to do stuff at any time no matter what the importance of the game. He is a split personality & you don't know which one will turn up. I love the guy but there is clearly something wrong with him.

[Fidel Castro]

Aguero's been moaning and whinging all game. Balo is a cunt. What has happened to us?

On a positive note, Pizzaro, Lescott and Kompo have been class.

The other two weren't that bad at all, he didn't even touch Sagna on one of them. Don't let the hyperbole get to you.

[1950]

Nasri has pulled out of every challenge in the first half. Grow some fucking balls for Christ's sake.

Balotelli needs subbing. Silly cunt.

Thank God Lescott & Kompany are back.

[WayneG]

Good to see us not roll over and the defence does look better with Lescott in for any of his percieved faults.
Prefer Milner in the centre and Pizarro doing well. Dont think anyone watching first half would not agree that Balotelli is very near getting sent off.....on that note got to say he must pi ss other players off with continually moaning. Good to see Kompany in good form and think hope we look to swap Balotelli at half time - dont think we will.
Come on City as otherwise have to boycott every media channel for rest of the day which is too much like hard work!

[Tokyo Blue]

With the risk of jinxing this: If we keep a clean sheet until tea break, we will win this.

Funnily enough I agree with you.

Nice to see Balotelli getting stuck in on that wanker Song for doing Yaya.

[paddyblue]

he is out for the second half

[Dendza]

balotelli is still on. good job Mancini you fucking italian frog

[BlueinBosnia]

Balotelli needs subbing. Silly cunt.

I think everyone on here agrees.

Unfortunately, Mancini still hasn't registered as a member...

[dick dastardley]

I think the whole season rests with this next 45. COME ON SHOW SOME BOLLOCKS AND PASSION

[bigblue]

he is out for the second half

he will score

[Esky]

he is out for the second half

Eep.

[PeterParker]

If we don't sign Pizza, we are a bunch of idiots. This lad is class

[blues2win]

Actually looked like Lescott lost Van Persie for the header against the bar so a blemish but the centre backs have had so much to cope with he can be forgiven. This is a crucial match for us and Balotelli doesn't give a damn. The challenge on Song showed two things. First a careless lapse of concentration to lose control of the ball and then a petulant challenge which suggested he didn't care one jot if he caused another player a serious injury. I'm sorry he needs to go. If things don't pick up very quickly so does Mancini. Balo still on? You must be joking.

[Manx Blue]

WTF is Cock Chops still doing on?
