I am a very, very, very bad man. I want city to win today just to piss off arteta. I really dislike him. 

My strong dislike for arsenal and arteta does put me near to this headspace.  Not sure I can get behind actively wishing us to lose though

I think that old cliche of the difficult prem fixture after a champions League game applies here. 

 

With extra on top of the ridiculous travel distance the team had to do and then coupled with it being man city away and our atrocious record there.

 

What I would love to see is a continuation of our improved away performances and signs that all the recent good things are still working and will carry into the rest of the season. 

 

I just think going forward they will have too much and our slow backline we get exposed easily like it was in the cup game.

 

Would love to be wrong and I'm hoping we can atleast sneak a draw perhaps if we are clinical with our chances.

there is definitely a weird culture around atm where fans are more passionate about hating other teams than supporting their own, like. You can especially see it online in mixed forums, social media etc. 
 

Just go and touch grass if that’s your mentality.

It’s a prem game what you on about 

 

No harm in giving a hungry young player like Neave some minutes if we are losing by a fair margin.

 

Not exactly War & Peace re complexity.

We score more than them.

 

Unlikely I know, but that is how.

 

That is a disaster as it puts the title back in Arsenals hands

Think we would be best being tight and compact and not pressing them too high too often as likely to get cut through like what happened last few games. Use our pace on the counter and hope for the best but avoid humiliating loss

Yeah, pressing them high with Botman and Burn, Trippier in that away cup game clearly didn't work. They didn't have the athleticism to get tight enough to stop them turning. Felt sorry for Botman, he was being asked to do something his body just wasn't capable of. 

 

Agree with low block and counter but Eddie seems pretty keen to always go man for man against them so wouldn't be surprised to see the same tactics.

As I've said countless times I want arsenal to win the title out of the two so that's that in terms of today's game.


I’s rather the world end than see Arsenal lift the prem trophy.
