Well City Went Loss, Draw So It Stands To Reason They Will Win Tonight. :d

Ill Be Watching In The City The Missus And Her Drunken Irish Mates.

I Copped It When Chelsea Beat Us 3-0 But A Little Faith In The Boys Should See Us Through Tonight.

Arsenal's Guns To Misfire, Big Time!

It's not very common that I am hoping City win, but in this case I was certainly cheering Barton on when he struck that penalty.

Arsenal are completely reliant on Henry. With him not firing they can play as much pretty football as they want, but they just don't have the cutting edge when it gets around the box. I really don't understand why so many people think they'd finish above us when they've only got backwards from last season, losing Pires and Bergkamp and both Reyes and Cole desperate to leave.

Justin Hoyte is rubbish, not good enough for arsenal

ffs, put Ashley Cole back there were he belongs, lauren and clichy cant come back from injury quick enough!

again frustrating when no one attempts a shot on goal after about 455656,008 passes.

agree Phillips, Arsenal seem to search for the 'perfect goal' everyone is afraid to line up a shot from outside the 18 yard box... I cant remember the last time I saw Arsenal score a long range effort..

I thought City were extremely lucky. On another day Arsenal would've converted half those chances. They looked the better team, it just wasn't their day.

Didnt catch the game but how did Fabregas and Van Persie look?

they both went ok

Cesc made some great runs i thought..

Skysports gave Van Persie a 6 and Fabregas a 7

Well hopefully thats what Rosicky can do when he becomes a permanent fixture in the squad. Let's just hope he has the confidence to go for those shots instead of dribbling up and passing it out wide.
