Arsenal v Manchester City Match Thread

[NK Arsenal]

I can't wait for this match on Saturday in England (15:00 BST)/Sunday in Eastern Australia (24:00 AEST) and I thought that there should be a thread about it.
Manchester City have been playing great so far (must give credit where it is due), but I think Arsenal will take it out unless we see a Lehmann mistake change the course of the game.
Arsenal 2-1

 

[Tom Shines]

Dunne and Micah have been UNBELIEVABLE at the back for us. Saved our arses a number of times v West Ham and the Scum. How they shut down the Arsenal forward line is critical to our success in this match.

However, with Kasper and Lehmann in goals, it might be a 5-4 win to City. :LOL:

This is already shaping up to be if not THE game of the season to one of them indeed.

Man City are of to a dream start but has Sven provided the City faithful with false hope or will Sven carry this out to make this truly a season to remember for City fans?

That is the question - Is this stunning form all a big joke that we will look back on when Man City stare down the throat of relegation or will Man City climb higher than ever before, will they sit aloft the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and co. (didn't say Arsenal because we all know that's never going to happen [touch wood])

This game is the test for Man City, are they men? Or children?

I'm worried they'll do a Souths — win the first three, get the praise of everyone, and then lose badly to the first team that puts up a real threat.

I honestly think we are destined for a top ten if we remain injury free and Sven can get the best out of the players. Form has been good so far.

Wow, top ten... really? Are you sure you're not aiming too high? What with such premier league giants as Middlesbrough, Blackburn, Fulham, Reading, Wigan, Sunderland, Aston Villa, Birmingham, Bolton, and not to mention, Derby. You're having a laugh.

this could be a very high scoring game

its midnight oz time

 

[NK Arsenal]

You are right ocko, my calculations were not correct, carry on people

 

[In-goal]

I think the match is critical to the Gunners as if they don't win this weekend they will already lose touch with Chelsea and be out of title contention.

However I think that Arsenal are the side most likley to defeat Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea. Man C will be very hard to score against especially when you see how well thier central defence gels. For mine I think that Man C will need to amass a few more wins before the weather falls away in order to make Eufa cup.

Saturday night I'm going 0-0

 

[Macca_]

2-0 Arsenal. RVP and Eduardo.

And Pasha to have a blinda!

 

[Stonecutter]

Pasha to be unmoveable at the back with tugg boats Toure, Clichy and Sagna to carry him.....literally. :lol:

Gold!

 

[NK Arsenal]

I want Hoyte playing instead of Senderos, as I have said in the Arsenal Thread.

 

[Macca_]

You what! :lol:

 

[NK Arsenal]

I've never seen him play and he's a young player. Don't forget he was in the England U21s for the UEFA tournament held in the European summer

 

[Macca_]

Hey I got no problem with Hoytey playing there. He'd handle it. But you can't go dropping Pasha now he's an LU Arsenal Brigade cult hero :lol:

 

[Macca_]

Just so nobody is confused.

The lad earnt the nickname oil tanker last season...

Some art work from earlier today -

 

[ByRd]

hahahahaha

This will be a tough game but i feel we should get on top and playing at home is a major advantage, i say Arsenal 2-0.

 

[RedVGooner]

hoyte:lol:

ill say arsenal 3-1

same scoreline as last season

 

[Phillips]

Hoyte should never ever play at centre back, same with Gilberto..
