A draw would be nice. However I'm open to seeing one of them suffer a crushing defeat.

But it's a disgrace, an abomination don't you know?:)
If the only player that guy approves of on the pitch is Stones and whoever arsenal have who is English, Iwobi? then he is missing a trick. WE'VE GOT SANCHEZ AND DE BRUYNE TO WATCH. The prem is great.

It certainly did for us when playing against Arsenal for 5 years from 2008 to 2013.

Arsenal won like 2 meetings out of 17 against us. Whenever we played them, at the time, you gotta feel the confidence of taking points from the fixture and usually we did.

Sure, it doesn't mean much when every games starts from 0-0 but psychologically the same set of players having a streak against that team which also currently struggles with injuries/bans is something to be noted and usually has effect in the game.
Of course it could have a psychological effect but it's debatable if it has a big enough effect to make a difference in a game.

Draw would probably be best for us but I wouldn't seeing Arsenal slaughter them. Sanchez to destroy Stones.

Edit: Just saw Stones isn't starting. Arsenal will still win though.

In a tight game it can have an effect IMO. The biggest issue for City is missing 2-3 key players tho along with Bravo/Ottamendi being a calamity lately.

You can never know if that was the cause. It could have been just a coincidence. You can only guess that was the cause but there can never be any evidence of things like this so you can only guess.

I know it was a bad injury but was this really necessary?

Those shirts are bit of an overkill, looks like they're mourning a death.

Yeah the players they are missing is a huge blow for them and along with the confidence it could make a difference.

An entire team wearing shirts with an injures players name on. Football has become farcical. He's injured for a few months, not fecking dead.
