    What will Adebayor do this time? I predict a karate kick to Wenger's face if he scores.

    Realistically though our CB pairing is insanely slow, if Tevez can get in behind we're fooked, and he will as we play high.

    2-1 City :(

    The Arsenal backline is definitely there for the taking but unfortunately so is our own.

    City are soft enough at CB themselves though, Lescott is a liability, Toure not much better. They badly need a partner for Kompany.

    That said I think Arsenal have the same problem with none of the partners available for Vermaelen looking up to it.

    I can see goals here, 2-2. City to pin them back twice.

    If Mancini has done his homework he'll do what Ancelotti has done to us in the last few meeting.

    Tuck your full backs in and let us have wings all day, your backline is big enough to deal with us crossing to our forward line of midgets and just double up on Chamakh.

    Sit deep and draw us on and use the pace of Tevez (Drogba), AJ (Malouda), Silva (Essien), Milner (Anelka) to counter when we've pushed high and we turn the ball over.

    Vermaelen is out with an Achilles injury. It will be Djourou and Squillaci at the back.

    City are gonna be too strong in the middle and won't give Arsenal any time on the ball. 2-1 City.

    We need to drop our line back by about 5-10 yards or so or we'll be crucified for pace.

    Never a red, Chamakh was never ever getting the ball. Boyata's inexperience showed there.

    Go way outta that; perfect ball through by Fabregas and Chamakh had every chance of getting to that.

    Chamakh's last touch was essentially a pass to Hart. A yellow would have been more than sufficient.

    I have to disagree. It was a definite red card.

    Hate that card waving nonsense, I can't toleate it at all. I actually find it much worse than diving.

    Goalscoring opportunity = red.

    We don't know if he'd have gotten to it as he got scythed down. Imo [and crucially the ref's too] he'd have gotten to it.

    It's not actually an automatic red if your last man back it's if it's a goalscoring oppertunity with no other defender having a chance to get back.

    Should of been a card for song
