Manchester City (A) | PL | Sun 18 Dec 16:00

Post by Sean »

Up next. The Barca copycat plays the Barca master. Although Guardiola's philosophy is being found out in the PL and just goes to show that TOF's going the Barca route all those years ago was absolute folly - Not that he'll change now, of course. It doesn't take 30 years in football to realise that sideways football with no defensive organisation does not work either :lol:

It'll be a battle of how shit the defences are. Possibly a high scoring game.

Needless to say; we are shite, they are shite and the game will be a massive pile of shite 8)

Aguero out,Mustafi out for us,Wenger being a useless c*nt,Guardiola a bit less of a useless c*nt,I predict 7-6 to City,Perez getting 5

We've basically blown every opportunity we've had to take the league by the scruff of the neck with a host of poor performances. Its in our DNA.

This game feels more comfortable though.... we always seem to pull off a result when it's bordering on pointless as we desperately play catch up.

I can see a heroic draw or win here followed by a run of results.

As always, it'll come to nothing in the end. Groundhog fc is in full swing again.

At least City don't put an emphasis on putting in crosses or are much of a danger of set pieces because that's how you ass fuck our lot.

Will have to score at least 2 to win this (when the fuck was the last time we kept a clean sheet??) so it's a draw at best for me. No Aguero gives us a slight chance of getting a point but fully expect us to get rimmed.

The turkey has yet to be carved and the collapse is well and truly on.

4-2 to City despite Aguerro being banned.. Gabriel destroyed by movement around the box by City's attack..Sanchez to get two for Arsenal despite looking totally pissed off for the whole game..

A City side absolutely all over the shop, low on confidence, leaking goals for fun and in front of a growingly restless home crowd. What could possibly go wrong?

The answer to that question is to watch the 90 minutes of shame from last night played in exactly the same circumstances

Limited Leicester were able to show up Kompany & Aguero less City for what they were. Feo Feo will make them look like champions and kick start another season. From title challengers to looking over your shoulders to the 5th place team in the space of six days - only at the Emirates

We'll get turned over here and by Sunday evening, a distant 9 points away from Chelsea when the fight for 4th place can really ramp up.

Leicester went at them from the off and were 2 nil up in 5 minutes,you know Wenger will send Arsenal out all scared and nervous,we'll tap it about between the back 4 while they grow confident,then we'll let them score once they have said confidence,I'd say that then the wheels truly come off for us but we all know we was never going to kick on anyway,december or april,whats the difference :banghead:

This game could go anyway. The only reason I think we can win, is because Man City have problems of their own.

Aguero being suspended for this one must go down as an absolutely massive early Christmas present for us all because having to sit through Augero v Gabriel (aka the worlds biggest rim job) would be massively detrimental to ones Christmas cheer.

I'm not sure who's worse,Meltersacker or Gabriel,Lord Wenger will probably rest Bellerin too and play Jenkinson :banghead:

On a side issue how massively over rated is Stones. I heard those 2 planks on Talksport about 6 months ago raving about him...well worth 50m blah,blah,blah..... In fact Stones wouldn't look out of place on a wild, hysterical, panicky afternoon as part of our back four.
