***OFFICIAL*** Arsenal v City thread

[BlueinBosnia]

Can see us bucking the trend, and getting a gritty 2-1 win here.

[Dameerto]

I'm feeling optimistic. There, I've said it.

[colonel_muck]

Spent all week in my usual cynical physche. But then Sunday comes and I'm thinking we're going to win this 4-3 and for some reason or other we're all going to love Mark Hughes this evening. United, you're not the best team in this country. Time we saw Jones, Smalling, Ferdinand, Rafael, Carrick for the over-rated shite that they are.

[anthonytomo]

I honestly think it could get a bit embarrassing for arsenal today. Oh, and, thanks joey.

[Swales4ever]

bound for family duty, so let me shout in advance:

[scroll]COME ON, COME ON, CITY!!!!![/scroll]

great confidence here

[Green & Blue]

Expecting a great game of football today Arsenal will come out and play at the emirates no doubt of that, really feel we need to perform really well today, an encouraging win could really help gain some momentum again in this title race.

Hope David Silva finds some form we could really do with him in full flow for the remainder of the season.
Big day for Nasri, Clichy and Kolo they should all be well up for this one.

SSN interviewing a few Cockney Manchester United fans outside Old Twatford. Seem to think they'll reduce the goal difference today, and I can't really see RPQ game-raising as they did last week. Typical chicken-livered approach at the Theatre of Shite.

Can't really call our game today. We're normally crap off the back of a defeat. I'll sit on the fence. Score draw.

[Beefymcfc]

Not sure what to think today and obviousy very nervous. I do hate the way the media come out with the shit about not beating Arsenal at there's since '75, not considering that we are a far different team to what we have been; haven't we beat them twice this season and how've they done against us at theirs for the last 2 seasons?

Fingers crossed we can get something and even better, a win. Balls out today boys, you could all be going down in City history, in the right way.

Come On You Blue Fuckers, Let's Show The World What We're All About!

[RodneyRodney]

We will win . 2-1. Arsenal will score first and be ahead at half-time. Our goals will be by Kompany and Barry.
Dunno about Utd.

[kennyboy]

Realistic, scum will win. we will draw.
there's always a next season

[RodneyRodney]

Realistic. We will WIN. There's always THIS season

[Ted Hughes]

Silva could be the key.

If he finds a second wind & turns the clock back to early season, we will dick them. If he plays, & performs as he has recently, we will cock up our attacks & be lucky to stay in the game. This is where Bob earns his corn, first by getting the Silva decision right and second by doing something about it early if he finds he's got it wrong.

3-1 City.

[failsworthblue]

Can only see a defeat.

Arsenal are the new Everton and Wenger has a personal crusade against our " imoral club".

Defend like we did against Sunderland and it could get messy.

[ant london]

Is Micah injured

Otherwise I am VERY happy with that side. Fucking come on

[King Kev]

Is Micah injured

Same question for Silva.

[Ted Hughes]

So Bob has taken the big decision on Silva.

I would expect him to be more effective if brought on later in the game when he is fresh & the oppo is tired. Need a big performance from Milner today; prove he's worth a shirt.

[Green & Blue]

Hart Zabaleta Clichy Kompany Lescott Yaya Milner Barry Nasri Aguero Balotelli

No Silva then, big decision from Bobby but on current form would have to feel it's the right one..Great to have Lescott and Kompany back together again.Overall that looks a really good side we are putting out.Surprised about Micah not being picked.

Any news on Arsenal line up?

[Esky]

Very happy with that, thrilled to see Aguero, Lescott and Nasri back. Glad Silva's finally rested, too.

Lose and it's over.
