I don't rate shitty one bit. I fancy beating them by a good score 2-0 or 3-1

Different subject Sammy, Was Vermaelen the first player to score for and against Arsenal in the same game since Sammy did in 1979 against Coventry ?
On the Carling Cup game, City will be too strong for us, but it would be nice to give it a go. Same will apply to City if they drop out of Champions League, they will win Europa League without trying.

This will end up being Arsenals biggest and most embarrassing defeat at the Emirates. 0-5 at least. It will be Old Trafford all over again.

I'm going with my Mrs to this game.

The good thing is, every game she's gone to with me we've ALWAYS won.

We are gonna get butt fucked.

Our second string is Park, Rosicky, Squillaci, Miquel, they can roll out Dzeko, De Jong, Nasri, Milner, Kolorov, Zabaletta, it ain't gonna be pretty.

Wenger needs to deliver silverware and the domestic cups are the best chance of achieving that. He needs to take this game very seriously. If we chuck it through a weakened selection he will invite more criticism.

The PL has gone, we aren't going to win the CL, it CCup or FA Cup.

Balotelli has just been sent off so that's one who won't be playing!

City will field a strong back line and holding midfielders. Personally I'd go with Park and Chamakh up front, but no doubt we'll play just the one in desperate isolation against a top class defence.

Haven't got high hopes for this game and to be honest it would be no bad thing to get knocked out.

January fucked us last year with the two legged semi, FA Cup replays and League matches. We've already got United in January and we're running out of league games where we can afford to drop points.

If $hitty wanna knock us out of this competition, be my guest. They can have all the Carling Cups they want while they fail to get out of the knockout stage of the CL

Arsenal doesn't have the depth to attack trophies on all fronts. That being said I'd love to see our fringe players give City a good go of it.

I'd start Oxlade on the right, to give us an unpredictable wild card. I'd play Yossi and Rosicky too, for a level headed midfield. And I'd give Chamakh a start at CF to see what he's capable of. Also, and I know this will sound bad, give Arshavin another chance at left. Why not - this game is a bit of a write off, might as well gamble.

Well done for remembering that one Sammy.

Pissed down with rain all game and I think Adams scored early on for us and very late for them.

I bumped into an old friend this season in Marseille. And the last time I saw him was on the way home from that game at Old Trafford - 22 years ago!
