***Official City v Arsenal Thread***

[cityPinoy_fc]

we played great despite being 10 men. happy and proud with the performance hope we can find a way against this adversity.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Zaba was planned to start at left back but clearly must have got a problem in/after training yesterday.

doug what happened to kolarov i thought he's ready to play now?

He has been in full training for quite a while now but they are clearly being very careful not to rush him back at all. I assumed that was because we had good full back cover anyway .Weird that when the chosen one isnt fit he decides not to play either of the others which then costs us big time.

[blues-clues]

are we playing better because we have ten men or because we are behind? We look bloody good either way. Silva is going to be a star. I think under normal circumstances Tevez would have gone off. If he has done his groin he needs to get off and get treatment or risk aggravating it. I can see us ending up with Ade and Balotelli on the pitch before the end.
COME ON CITY

[Blue Blood]

this game is primed for a player to take it by the scruff of neck and become a hero.

step up super mario.... got a feeling we could still get something from this!

[Michael Brookes]

who comes off?

we could do with kolarov or a ballotelli as we have know dead ball specialists and would be perfect in this game.

Come on city we deserve too win this now!

[Mark (Blue Army)]

When this goes to 10 v 10 and im sure it will, we will shit all over these.

Hope its sooner rather than later bro.

[cityPinoy_fc]

thanks doug for that.

[Tokyo Blue]

Does Tevez look like he has picked up a knock to you? He looks a bit less mobile than usual. If so, I'd bring on Adebayor or Balotelli for Tevez at half time. Yes, Tevez is fucking great but we can't carry an injured man when a man short.

I don't like Fabregas waving an imaginary card to get a fellow professional booked / sent off. It's a cunt's trick. I'd rather lose and be shit than have that sort of man playing for my team. I am sure the permanent arsenal media rimjob will gloss over such things though.

[dazby]

It's such a weird feeling. We're a goal down with Nasri putting on a masterclass but I still feel confident we can get something out of this.

[Kiss_The_Goat]

COME ON CITY! We can do this!!!!!

[Original Dub]

If this was 11 v 11 we would be 2 or 3 up I reckon.

Bad decision to play Boyata, but I'm proud of us so far, given the circumstances.
Also, fair play to this lad. It must have been the practice.

Tevez starts the second half, hopefully that's a good sign.

[cityPinoy_fc]

COME ON CITY!!!! LETS GIVE OUR ALL!!!

[CityDub]

YaYa off Bridge on ,WTF?

[mr_nool]

I'm really disappointed in us conceding such an easy goal. Apart from that, and under the circumstances, we've been ace.
It's just that if it still had been 0-0 I could've seem us nick 3 points. Now 1 is the best I think we can hope for.

Sky commentary says he picked up a knock in the first half

[xavi6]

We're paying 18/1 with Betfair.

Tempted...
