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

[Nigels Tackle]

good v evil
the savers v the spendthrifts
they have lots of england players these days didn't you know?
I hate that supercilious peado wenger
come on city, fuck these cunts up!

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

I'm particularly looking forward to the pro-Tarquin nauseating sycophancy of the build-up on BT and, of course, the dulcet tones of that dullard and uber dunce litlle mickey owen. I'd rather listen to his horse's opinions. A last-minute winner would be nice, if only to see Wenger expectorate his own liver.

Come On The Blues!!!

Come On The Blues!!!

[Sideshow Bob]

Fuck OS says big name player is missing. Vinny?

[Sideshow Bob]

No yaya!

[Moonchesteri]

@MCFC: TEAM NEWS: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (C), Demichelis, Clichy, Fernandinho, Lampard, Navas, Silva, Milner, Aguero

Yaya a big miss and interesting to see five in the middle. Hope it's silva behind Kun as he's fantastic in that role imo!

COME ON CITY!!

[Tony P]

So what's up with Yaya

[Sideshow Bob]

Afraid we might struggle to hold the ball with this lineup even with 5 in MF

[shortagain]

Probably late back from Africa as no sign @ Carrington all week

[blues2win]

Played on Wednesday in Africa so late back and tired apparently. Milner in which will stiffen things up and no Nasri which is right. Take a draw to be honest.

[Beefymcfc]

Fat Frank getting his first run-out. The fucker better put in a shift.

Looks like we're ensuring we have some fresh legs upfront against Bayern and by doing so allows us to fill the midfield and counter Arse's tactic of flooding the space with Big Dave pushing up when required.

Looking forward to it ............ if I can get a link!

[Sideshow Bob]

Yaya's motivation to play for us seems to be waning.

[carolina-blue]

Pedo will have bitch fit if Lampard scores the winner

[Sideshow Bob]

#Arsenal team to play Manchester City: Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Wilshere, Ramsey, Alexis, Ozil, Welbeck

[Ted Hughes]

Pedo will have bitch fit if Lampard scores the winner

Please let this happen.


Glad Nasri is out, for reasons mentioned. If he was to come off the bench, I could imagine him making an impact in a shorter game.

Interesting ploy by the Count. No idea if it will work, but nobody can say he's predictable. Wenger would not guess this team in a million years & is probably quite agitated trying to figure out how it will work right now.

[Sideshow Bob]

Let's hope welbeck plays a binder for us.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Will either be a master stroke or a cock up of epic proportions id say.

[DoomMerchant]

Fernando a bigger miss than yaya on current form.

Lamps. Wow.

That arsenal lineup looks very strong. This should be an interesting match.

[blues2win]

Odd thing is that I thought that Fernandinho got back on Friday and he's playing but maybe I got that wrong. I suppose Sergio will play off the last man so that will keep the centre backs fully occupied. There's not a centre back in the division who isn't in trouble one on one with Sergio and his low centre of gravity. It looks a solid team with Navas and Milner offering help to our full backs and Clichy in for Kolarov.

Two other points. First, please no silly long high balls which are no good for Sergio. Second, we lose a lot of height at set pieces with no Yaya and Dzeko....
