MAN CITY AWAY THREAD.. and good pub

Yep

Its a first goal job, if we get the first we're in with a shout. If they get the first goal they'll sit deep and counter attack and probably get more knowing how naive we are at chasing a game.

hmmm.. head says we'll lose, heart (as usual, the rose tinted blood pumping bastard!) says we will win.

Gut feeling? We might just surprise a few punters and win this one! :shock:

Note that my gut feeling is very unlike Percy's. His gut feeling is "Need more pies... neeeeed mooore piiiieeeesssss...." :lol: :wink:

Team is brimming with confidence following the CL fixture, but not having Jack out there will be a huge blow. His energy and work ethic have been a big help last few weeks.

Can Arsenal take this one? I wouldn't call it impossible, but tough considering the quality of the defensive midfield at Citeh (Barry, Yaya) and the speed upfront (Silva, Tevez, A. Johnson).

My early prediction - not a draw :P If Arsenal does take it however, I think that's a serious statement of "We're here to win the league".

Even though I can sometimes be perceived as being a little on the negative side, I think we will win this 3-1.
Citeh aren't playing that well despite their lge position, Chelsea should have beaten them, as should Blackpool.
I think if we can keep the gargoyle quiet and take our chances then we will win. :barscarf:

My fear is that Ade will do to our defence what Drogba always does!!! :shock: :cry: That's why I really, really hope he doesn't play. :cry: And I know that will involve some running, but I think the guy will be motivated enough against us to do it. :roll: :banghead:

Point taken, but I still cannot believe you mentioned greedywhore and Dogbreath in the same sentence and neglected to use the words "fucking" and "cunts"! :shock:

we were supposedly on a big high after the 6-0 win,then we went to sunderland and fucked it up spectacularly.

sure we will control the game and lose to some kind of flukey/terrible defensive error as usual.

Cant see us getting anything from this one. Defense is way too shaky. Unless Verm is back, 3-1 them.
