PL: Manchester City vs Arsenal | 04/05/06

[Saville]

Must win game! god knows why it's on a Thursday though, got really confused when we saw that, practice for UEFA cup next year, never know.

Anyway, we cant afford to slip up this game, i know Man City havnt played well at all in the last few games but this will be the chance for them to turn things around, for us Wenger knows the impotance of this match so i dont think here play the team like he did against Sunderland...

P.S..could someone put My ''Diaby out?'' Topic in arsenal talk, Cheers

Are you sure Gilberto and Hleb are back?

 

[RockyRocastle]

I wouldnt have though Henry and Cesc and possibly Kolo would start this game as im sure Wenger will play his stongest team on Sunday.

 

[23Campbell]

Its on a Thursday because the season has been squeazed to give the England boys an extra weeks preparation so the games have to be played before this sunday and because we have had a prolonged season with Champions league we have to reorganise some games and aswell the match with Sunderland that was postponed.

But we got to keep the pressure on Sp**s and hope they slip up against the hammers.

cheers mate, i forgot about them being injured :wink:

 

[Lukazan]

Not confident about this one.

Thought we were pretty poor today tbh and the scoreline flattered us.

Still look lost in our play away from home.

 

[OneProudGooner]

I hope Gilberto is at least back, Song is simply not good enough and if he's up against Joey Barton alongside Cesc i would think we would be beaten in that department.
I think Cole should start at Left back this time round let's give him these last two games and see how he goes, is he really ready to play in a big game like the Champions League Final?

Those of you debating whether we should play Sol again after a poor but not terrible performance, why can't we give him the benefit of the doubt like we did with Phil at the start of the season. Phil had a dodgy start but with a couple of games he improved and he doesn't get as much stick as he did then.

He needed games to get match fit and so does Sol, let's see Sol get a few games and see what happens.
Either way if he plays well it's good news for us if he plays badly he won't start in the Champions League Final.

This game has been confirmed as being on Sky Sports 1 this Thursday.

 

[gunnerGH]

We better win this one for my sake. My girlfriends a man city fan. If she wins il never hear the end of it! :cry:

 

[Tony Montana]

I'm not so worried about this. There's no pressure to win as Sp**s have effectively got fourth spot in my eyes. There's no way they'll draw with West Ham.

haha so funny!

I would have preferred if they had chosen to air the Wigan game instead, it being the last game at Highbury.

 

[23Campbell]

Yeah can't believe their not showing our last game at Highbury. I mean what other important matches are happening!? Relegation is sorted 1st, 2nd and 3rd are all sorted, only interest is in 4th and we are one of the teams battling to get it and its our final game in the old stadium, they should be ashamed of themselves for not showing it!

Agree with your feelings on Ashley, Sol and Song. I want to see a strong line up for this game. After sunday there will be a nice little rest.
