This time last week i was thinking about the Liverpool game coming up on sunday. Being stuck out in China i was just hoping one of the local bars would have the football on. Bar was full of plastic scousers as always bunch of ****ers, i was there with my city shirt on in the TAVERN in Shekou my they all laughed when i walked in with my Hull City AFC shirt on. None of them ****ing laughing when we walked out of the bar after the game, LOL. So now it comes to the Arse tonight, Wenger must be ****ting himself not knowing what system we will play (Just kidding), Maybe he will be throwing water bottles around on the touch line again this season. Just a thought it must be difficult to set up a team to play against the ARSE knowing how well they play and link up in midfield. But after saturday am i the only one who thinks we might get at least a point tonight if we play similar to sunday and get in their faces and put them off their game a bit. I for one think we will get at least a point tonight, they dont like it up em them gooners, c'mon City CTWD
I'd be surprised if Wenger underestimates us like last time. He's already pretty much described us well and knows it won't be easy. If he can figure out a way to undo our great defence, we'll be fooked. If he can't, or if Brucie has a cunning plan that works, we can win. If neither side can figure it out, it'll be a low scoring close game. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that I'm not going to the Emirates expecting a humping. Shows how far we've come when we can go play the top team in the league and not unreasonably expect a result that's not a shock. No one in this league scares me like the last time we were up here.
Don't want to p**s on anyone's bonfire but although we played well against a poor Liverpool side 2 of our goals were from big deflections (yes I know they all count but lucky all the same) and in previous weeks we've scraped a win over 10-man Sunderland, lost to Palace and got hammered by Southampton. So although I'm City/Tigers till I die I'm not expecting too much from tonight. If we do get anything feel free to slag me off mercilessly, I won't mind!
I think we can get a point. If we can't - what's the point in being in this league? We've shown we can handle big teams - we had great performances at Man City and Chelsea, though sadly with little reward, we were one referee away from a point at WHL. Of course it's hard - Arsenal are top of the league, but we're half way up the same league. We're 10th in the Premier League and it's nearly Christmas. F**k realism - we can take on anyone.
On the train up a couple of Scousers were giggling about how I got to see us get nutted by them twice (they were good sorts really, good bit of banter) but I pleaded with them to let us at least score a goal, and clearly they obliged!
If someone had offered us 2 draws against Liverpool & arsenal we'd have snatched their hands off and taken the 2 points! Well we've got 3! So hopefully we look at tonight as a free hit at another point or even 3?
Bedntner upfront... either he's been outstanding in training, Giroud's on he naughty step or Mr Wenger's underestimating us.
