I think we can win this. Man City really haven't impressed me this season at all. We're definitely the better side, and should win relatively comfortably.

We won't though, obviously.

On way into Manchester for few pints then hopefully the right result! If Cesc can pull the strings in midfield and the others all manage to turn up 2day we can do this, WBA above us just isnt right. Come on Arsenal!!

This is a game we really must win but to be honest I'm not expecting anything today.

If we have ambitions of winning the title, we have to put in a big performance here and get a result, but all to often we play the big teams, play fairly well, and end up getting stuffed.

With Tevez absolutely flying and Adebaywhore scoring a mid-week hat-trick just in time to give him some confidence for our visit, I think the defence might struggle to cope.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I was more confident going to Stamford Bridge and we lost that as well.

I'll be happy to get a draw out of this. Sad but true.

Slightly surprised Denilson starts ahead of Diaby, but it's about time that lazy *word censored* was dropped.

Just seen the teams and I fear the worst. A team of giants v a team if midgets

Our players will have to watch out for that thug De Jong - I'm sure he'll be "well up" for this game

Why the fuck is the Sidebe chaser starting? Any optimism I had goes right out the window.

*Sky Sports man lists the names of the huge black men Man City have in midfield* "Arsene how are you going to stop them suffocating you?"

Just about sums up the tactical nous of Wenger. Was it Fabregas that said they don't bother to look at how the opposition will play, just concentrate on their own game? Unbelievable.
