Who knows, I honestly can't say what might happen tomorrow. We've been in this situation before as underdogs and come through victors. We are actually quite solid at the moment, something that is making me think that we could nick this by a thin margIn. I don't think Mancini will sit back and play for a point like he did last season, i recon he'll feel obliged to go for it at home.

If we can hold out for the first 15 and impose our game, their there for the taking.

And yet their £125.3m team got held by our £25m 2nd stringers, for 89 minutes in the CC?

it was 83 mins and whilst i,m proud that some of our younger players are gaining good experience
i am uncomfortable with this plucky arsenal thing
its the kind of thing that smaller clubs that have run us close have been saying for years.
man city scored we did,nt
they are in the next round we aint
i would rather be lucky arsenal than plucky arsenal
we are to big for that

Have brother in law and his fat arsed wife coming for tea tonight (with their thick unruly and noisy kids) last time I saw them Utd put 8 past us, so hoping this isn't an omen.

Let's get behind the lads, it's going to be a tough game but I hope we give it a real go. A win is far from impossible but City have been awesome at home this season.

I hope we go out there and prove a point tomorrow.

The bookies are making us serious underdogs at 4-1 which is a crazy price, think I might shove a tenner on us to win. If RVP gets the service tomorrow then we'll get the goals.

That was at your place mate.

At our place Boyata got himself sent off in the first 5 minutes. :lol:
This is how it feels to be City

For me I think we need to keep Ramsey out for this one and load the midfield with some steel to compensate. 4-2-3-1

Szczesny
Djourou Mertesacker Koschielny Vermaelen
Frimpong Song
Walcott Arteta Gervinho
Van Persie
Fabianski
Sagna Koschielny Mertesacker Gibbs
Ramsey Arteta
Walcott Wilshere Cazorla
Podolski
