If Arsenal win, they are 1 point in front with a game in hand and even if Chelsea and Spurs win, we're still a minum 2 points in front, although they will still have a game in hand. There's still plenty of playing time to go so the most I see of this 1 game is it being a test, a test of what we can do against probably the best passing team in the league. We've stopped all the rest of the title contenders from scoring with 11 men, let's see if we can do the same with Arsenal on their own turf.

If we win however, that is a totally different matter and we'll see how the other contenders react knowing that we are only going to get better.



I agree with this sentiment. every game from now on in is a three pointer. However I do thing that the vast open spaces at
the Emirates are better suited to us and our play, than the tiny grounds like Blackpool, Stoke , Everton etc. ( well they all seem tiny and Stokes certainly is).


The key is not to let united get too far ahead. They will soon start dropping points and I think Liverpool might nail them in
the Cup on the weekend.

Sorry, Got my dog bothering me to take for it a walk in the glorious sunshine.

I meant to say this match is more than a three pointer, it's puts distance between us if we win and for all others we should look for maximum points too.

Ahh ! the excitement and the glue sniffing is getting to me , i need some fresh air....

Aslong as its not the other way round and your bothering the dog. Yeah we should be looking to win it but it wont be easy, only way to beat arsenal away is counter, get toure the big daft steam train on the situation.

I disagree, this game is not as massive as it is being made out.

It might be massive if Arsenal were unlikely to drop points but as recent history has shown the minute Arsenal look odds on for a run at the title they implode and have a month of madness which screws them over.

Don't get me wrong its a big game tonight... just not a "must win".

It's a big game but hardly MASSIVE. Massive game was when we needed to win on the last day of the 95/96. Play off final was massive. Those are the kind of games were future of the Club was decided for a LOOOOOOOOONGGG time. Win, lose or draw; we'll live tomorrow morning and will still be in top 4.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Ipswich 1-0

For every failure, we have had at least one success. I refuse to buy into this City always fuck it up self-pitying shite. I fucking love being a City fan, always have, always will and I will love it just that little bit more when we beat arsenal tonight.

It is not that big a game, I feel. I honestly think it is bigger for them than it is for us.

Fingrs crossed for tonight though , but win or lose both top place and a finish outside the top for remain distinctly possible.


Someone had to go there ;)

Get in there Tokyo lad, negative vibes from most posters on here this evening. Huge massive, large, quite big or whatever you want to call it this game sends out a huge message to all our detractors if we win. If we all think we're gonna be shit, we will be shit. Positive vibes from me this evening. I could find myself in a foul mood in the morning but that goes with being a blue but tonight is our night, i can feel it in my water and my nuts are twitching.

I have a good feeling about this one. Arsenal have not been playing very well at home and have already lost to the likes of Newcastle and WBA. In contrast we have been playing wery well away from home and I don't see why that will change tonight.
True, we will miss Dave (but not much Mario), so I expect the likes of AJ, Milner and Johnny to step up and win us the match. Who knows, even Jo might start tonight and come through with flying colours by exposing the suspect defence of the gooners.

Soon or later Jo is going to prove us all wrong, I have this sneaky feeling; we will see him start one day, groan because of that, and he will score a terrific hat-trick.

I'm with you on that one Rome. I know Jo has it in him and I would love it if he starts or even come on later and score a couple for us tonight.

Seriously, the day I, or anyone else for that matter, stops using any single word in the English language, because some jumped up scumbag filth fans think they can use it as a derisory term for City, will be an extremely sad one. I hope you haven't given up drinking bitter for the same reason, or taken your Kevin Kennedy posters down. I know I haven't.

On topic, I think tonight's game is 'quite big' for us, and Arsene has already set it up as 'massive' for them, to try and galvanise his players into a performance.

Would United expect to win this? Of course they would. I wouldn't take a draw, we need to win. Lose and winnign the title will be very hard.
