no

Oh yes, its spanking time. If Kompany is still out we'll score at least 2 and somehow still manage to lose by at least two clear goals.

If he's fit we'll lose by a landslide. No defensive organisation, they will swarm all over us and at 2-0 we'll start playing....and at that point realise how utterly ***** they are in defence too.

Some Three Stooges type defending at both ends, with us on the wrong end of a high scoring game

They aren't shite and have a boss who does tactics... we are shite cos we have a tactically inept bumhole....we will get well and truly bumholed.

[northbank123]

we could win, but that would require an approach between the extremities of utter chaos as we spread our cheeks for a bumfucking, or such a dire negative approach that we can't string two passes together and limp tamely to a comfortable defeat with barely an effort on goal.

It should be a great opportunity because Toure is a huge miss for them and at home they will feel compelled to employ a fairly attacking approach which could be exploited by sensible tactics and enterprising counter attacking, which we have the players to do. Make no mistake, not an easy game by any means but eminently winnable.

2-1. Koscielny keeps Aguero in check but we lose it late on through a mental mistake.

Watching Yaya Toure play over Christmas he really is one of the laziest greediest bastards I've ever seen. At home against Palace, for example, he would sit on his arse whenever he lost the ball, dive into tired challenges instead of tracking back and watch as Fernandinho did the defending and then motored past him to try and join the attack. All time and time again.

But when the game gets stretched and there is a chance of grabbing a goal on a counter attack later on he is fresh as a daisy gliding past tracking defenders and throwing his toys out the pram if the ball doesn't come his way.

I honestly can't believe how lazy he was in the few games I watched. And i know its laziness because I have seen that bloke cover every single blade of grass for 90 minutes at our place (the only aspect of note in a 0-0 bore draw under Mancini a few years back) and his fitness has always been outstanding, he defies the modern trend for 'needing a rest'. He is good enough to seem like two players in midfield at his best, that's what he seems to be asking his midfield partner to do as he strolls around without a care. He just looks to be on autopilot and his attitude stinks. I always thought him to be a consummate pro but some of the comments I've seen attributed to him about being under-praised because he is African and the laughable performance about the birthday cake or whatever last year combined with watching these performances have reversed that impression.

so kompany, yaya and aguero are out? arguably their three most important players.

david silva is a bit good though

[clockender1]

3-0 city. no bumholing but still a class apart in organisation, discipline and defining and coaching players in their roles.

Aguero is back. Came off the bench yesterday. Make sure you make him captain of your FF team for this because we are about to get ass fucked.

1-2 arsenal

We're 4/1 with the bookies to win if you feel like filling your boots
