Our home game v Watford has been rearranged to May 11th, could it be our survival decider? http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sp...s__trips_to_West_Ham_and_Norwich_rearranged/?
With Lennon it was a barmy move for him to go to Bolton, they were/are in the mire and it always had poisoned challis written all over it. I think I was keen on him coming to City at one time, but that said more about Hootuns tenure and our subsequent hiring of Adams than that I held him in any great esteam. I wouldn't rule out that he will be successful at another club, wrong place wrong time at Bolton. Bah!
Arsenal are on for a hiding to nothing tonight! Wonder what Wenger will have to say about that. Not a lot as usual I'm guessing. The other tie is a bit more interesting. Hopefully better than last nights 2 0-0s.
Slight change of topic - did I see on TV that Redmond is also out pretty much until the end of the season. We'll need Jarvis to step up now!!!!
Well that will make a hell of a lot on here happy, who have been ripping him all season. I'm totally gutted. Massive blow.
Barca V Arsenal just started. This should be arguably the best match up in football. I am guessing yet again, it will be a Barca Walk over.
Arsenal have looked very surprisingly good. The thing is, they look good if this was a 1 off game, or the first tie was 0-0 2-0 down, They don't look THAT great, they look confident, but as shown a few times. 1 break, and Barca are out of sight. Where as Arsenal, 1 counter..They will never score. They need a good 30 minutes of pressure and about 15 great chances before they score.
There you go. Exactly what I was saying........Arsenal will never change. They remind me of Norwich in so many ways. So much huff and puff, but never blow anything down.
"big club ref bias" hits Arsenal! Def pen not given. They don't like it when a blatant pen isn't given to them all of a sudden! Very strange as he wafts away all the soft and bullshit decisions his side get against sides like us. They are all meaningless. Very happy to see a proper big club, puts them in our shoes. You wont get a pen in Barca, Just like Norwich wont get a pen at Arsenal!
"We'll score when we waaaaant!" It's so interesting, that Arsenal is our version of total football. Barca, piss all over Arsenal every season.
