Best line I just heard on Match of the Day after showing Arsenal beat City (Yessss!!!!)

"...Somewhere in West London there is a Portuguese manager chuckling tonight..."

Don't think I've ever said this before, but today...today, I'm thankful for those stupid Gooners.

Any of you guys ever check out opposition forums? On Bluemoon they think their downfall is down to not signing the likes of Sanchez, Fabregas, Matic, James when they had the chance and instead go for Mangala, Fernando...etc looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

The way the talk as if they are the only money team in town and can magically get anyone they want because the price is reasonable LOL

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

link please?

Naaa not in a post but as a general idea around there, check a few threads and see this reference often. If only we signed Sanchez/Fab instead of Mangala...etc

Lol, what a he is

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

I am concerned about the fact that we will play 3 match before we face City and City only 1.

That's why I thought it would be wise to combine our starters with backup or kids in these 3 games. We could say that this Liverpool matches and the FA cup are also important, but our aim is to prepare to get the best condition for our Starting XI for the City match.

at the start of december the "EXPERTS" looked at the fixtures and forecast City would be 1 point ahead at the end of December.

they got it almost right ,, the bookies still kept us favourites even when we were level on points .

now they have as us at 2 .9 and city as 9 ....2 .... Bookies arent idiots ... just gonna put my holiday money on City

btw I had a small bet on city winning today

You mean the experts like @Pizy, and such that was crying about their easy fixtures and how they will get ahead of us because of this?

I remember telling them that it didn't matter because they will have the hard fixtures later and that will help us the most.

We are starting to see that by just them playing Everton and Arsenal.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Lol, why we have to afraid, Bony, Yaya, even he could bring his brother Kolo if he want. Bring it on, we could beat them with their fullest strength.

Yes, against Arsenal yesterday, if Yaya and Bony playing, Arsenal might not that comfortable win it like yesterday. But against us at Stamford Bridge, it is really different case.

[Fernando 6,585]

To be fair I was surprised most at the way Arsenal play.

It was more Chelsea-esque.....

Im not, we will be a lot sharper and if we book a place at Wembley, there's nothing like winning to keep momentum up.

I know, but physical condition is a tangible factor in the equation.

Look how we played much better with a week of rest?

I say get things done tomorrow with Liverpool - yeah, at the Anfield - because we can. Then play a mixed team in the weekend and next week against Liverpool

Our key players need to be spared one out of the two games after this Tuesday. So rest some the weekend and others next week.

Guys, don't get too cocky, remember we went to the Ethiad last season when city were brushing everyone aside and hadn't lost or conceded at home in a while. It'll be the toughest game of the season.

[mannyfreshh 164]

Thank u arsena, big win for us today . I know the season is far from over, but this loss for city will cost them the league. We will beat them in 2 weeks and go 8 clear. Their schedule is very difficult compared to us and that will be the deciding factor here.

I'm Sure we can rest some players against Bradford.
