***city v arsenal official match thread***

[Nigels Tackle]

think we're at home for this one?

a repeat of last year's result would be nice

live of sky - terry henry making his debut for them so suggest that those tuning into it on the box do so at the last possible minute to avoid seeing him being sucked off by redknapp et al.

come on city

fuck these cunts up

What fucking time do you call this, I've been sat here waiting for this thread for the last 2 hours!

Always worries but I'm a negative cunt!
If we are up for this we will win by 2 goals. Need to be closing them down and not giving them time on the ball.

[london blue 2]

I think if we can a)score early or b)keep them out for 50-60 mins we will end up rolling them over as they tend to start fast and then let their game slip.

Come on city fuck these cunts up.

P.s. A last minute Lampard winner would be hilarious.

To paraphrase an infamous half-time team-talk from baconchops: "Come on, Beefy, it's Arsenal!"

Nice one, I feel much better now.

Arsenal always seem to get a lot of attention after a win and little when they lose. In the last 10 games they've won 6, drawn 1 and lost 3. Those 3 losses came at the hands of the Rags (home), Stoke (away) and Southampton (away), they also drew with the Dippers (away). The majority of their 6 wins have been against teams that they should beat with the one exception being Southampton (home) who held them out for the majority of the game but after going down to 10 men (injury after subs made), lost the game 1-0 in the last couple of minutes.

It must be frustrating being a Tarquin and from their form this season it's easy to see why they are 12 points down at this time last season. I'm not underestimating them though, they can play football and without a couple of our regulars they could really take it to us.

I have put us down for a close win and am expecting a great game.

Arsenal have had a pre emptive hammering in the Press this week about how useless they are away against the big teams, never turn up etc. I hope there isn't a reaction. Must keep Sanchez quiet. Hopefully Sergio will be up to match sharpness and Vinny slots in comfortably to lead the defence. 2-0 to City.

Is that the press giving Wenger his team talk, reminding them to turn up and give us a game.

Never.

Not a chance.

I love London, but fuck London and the media and their football teams. Tho I do have a soft spot for Loftus Rd.

Come on City....Fuck. These. Cunts. Up.

With a cheery wave.

COME ON CITY

Just noticed that Mike Dean's the ref for this one. Not happy with that after his previous performances this season, mainly Chelsea. Also, I don't hink we won a game with him in-charge last season and he seems to want to book our players for daring to tackle the oppo.

I'll have my eye on him!

Interesting. I think he's one of the only refs worthy of a job in this current crop of awful refs. Didn't realise he'd screwed us over that much.

It's a shame because Dean looked to be the last decent ref left at one point. I think he was the one who had the balls to send off Scholes in the FA Cup Semi the other year. Since then he's been absolutely dog shit!

[Beefymcfc]

Dean used to be the best one out there but, for me, without Blue Tints on, he seems to have gone downhill, almost as if he's being instructed how to referee the game. No way can the turnaround in standards be down to him just becoming shit.

Maybe with Red Howie going upstairs, Dean thought he'd step into his shoes.

With Blue Tints on, he's getting Walton'esque when it comes to us.

Tbf they are all mostly shit. It's a strange crop. It's like they groomed a batch of Fergie lickers who are struggling in his absence without a common script or mission. Mourinho sees that gap and would like to stick his tiny weiner in it.

I notice that Dzeko is shown by Sky as doubtful because of a bang on the shin.

A bang on the fuckin shin?! So he's got a bruise basically. Flipping eck these players are genuinely getting softer by the week!
