Me and my mate are off to this game... Cant wait

[Forest]

Im in Austria for this game so hopefully find out the result some how.

[Est83]

I would like to see the same team that started today. There's enough time between the games to rest, and we really need some consistency... can't do that with 8 changes.

I think he'll go with the strongest team barring injuries. Song has to be on top of his game to stop Yaya. For me, hes their most influential player, on par with Freddie Kruger Face.

teves hasn't been great lately though

[CynicalGooner]

Toure as an attacking midfielder is quite a force. He just bulldozers through defences.

This should be a good game but it depends largely on Mancini. We all know how we will play, but will City take their game to us and engage in end-to-end football, or will they try to soak up pressure and counter us?

Hi, I am new here, I have been a gooner for 7 years

and I am not british but I really hope those gunners who can go to emirates stadium do something to urge our cute assistant coach Pat Rice to stay in Arsenal and postpone his retirement plan as we know that he's gonna retire this season.

Make a banner written " Pat Rice,we need you, please stay!" or "In Pat we trust" something like that, show it to Wenger and Rice, that will be great

by the way, I really think we need a back-up for Song, Song is a fantastic defensive midfielder but we still need one more so Song can have time to have a rest.

and Sagna,too. with eboue as the back-up, but as Gibbs is injured, Traore is lent to Juventus, we only got one LWB Clichy, UI think that's not enough, I really hope Gibbs can recover soon so that Clichy can have some rests in some games

[ArsenalScout]

A SERIOUS SITUATION is that no one can substitute Song in our squad

Denilson and Diaby is too soft and weak for being a defensive midfielder,I really think that's a big problem!

[ArsenalScout]

see how bad chelsea have been lately after Ray wilkins left the Blues

to some point, Rice is even more important than fabregas in arsenal

he witnesses the highs and lows of arsenal for 44 years

I hope he can stay and work with Wenger together for arsenal forever, and for our first european championship league title

Hey there ArsenalScout, why don't you introduce yourself in our Introductions section, so we get to know you better!

Without Song, we can get a midfield of
---Wilshere--Rosicky---
--------Cesc------------
which will work quite well if we are playing a lesser opponent, and in some cases a better opponent who has gone 1-0 up and have parked the bus.

Take out RVP and start Chamakh and thats a gret line-up.
