Well, we're nearing kick-off, the nerves are building up, the butterflies are bouncing around your stomach, it must mean this is an important match.
With United winning last night against a useless Stoke side, it seems to me as though this really is a must not lose game for both sides, especcially us. With United now having played the same amount of games as us, and we're five points behind them, by winning, we just re-place that pressure back onto them. If god forbid, we were to lose, then the we must start looking over our shoulders towards Chelsea and Sp*rs, as they seem to be quietly going about their business and winning games (minus Chelski). This is a must win game, no doubt about it.
Looking at the sides i think will start, it looks as though there is a complete contrast between the two sides. One majorly effective on the counter, with big physical players, and then the other, perhaps a bit weak at times, but with the ability to move the ball as fast as Usain Bolt around them. Last season it was the same. Man City turned up at the Emirates, hoping not to get beat. They played dull, boring football, which resulted in a 0-0 draw. Yawn.... This game has no chance of being the same. Both sides need a win, and cant lose, but a draw isnt great either.
Now, not just from a biased point of view, which i'll obviously give, but I feel The Arsenal will win this one. I think our confidence will start to ooze out of us, and once Walcott starts to rip shreds out of their defence, i expect Van Persie to lay it off for Nasri,who then almost does a ballot turn, to lay it off to Cesc, who will then score a delightful effort into the bottom corner (this was my dream last night).
Anyway, making our way to the game later on, few drinks in pub beforehand along with a meal in a delightful Italian, before making our way over to the game.
C'mon Arsenal!!!

Ramsey, Vela and Man City
Well, bank holiday's over, people are waking up at 6 and 7 o'clocks to get ready for work. How Depressing. Luckily with this rubbish system called teacher training, I get another day. WOOHOO!!!
Well, glad that's over with. Moving onto something a bit more constructive. Ramsey has finished his loan move, and now is returning back to The Arsenal. Due to that week with all the snow and everything, he hasnt got as much matches under his belt as everyone would have liked, but none the less, he's back playing football, which is a miracle in itself. As i said yesterday, i dont expect him to be playing a major role in this season, just a few sub appearances and maybe a few cup games, although the carling cup is nearly over. Get him prep'd and ready for next season.
In other news, Owen Coyle has said:
We have got a good relationship with Arsenal and Arsene. If you ask if Carlos is available and are Bolton interested the answer would be yes. Arsene will want any player going out on loan to be playing. His belief will be that Carlos Vela would come back to Arsenal a better player for experience.
This hints as though the deal is quite close, and now they're just niggling at little bits and bobs. I'd like to see Vela play for them actually. They did a great job with Wilshere, and hopefully they can do the same to Vela. Now Wenger is a clever man, he is either doing it for The Arsenal and the player, to make him better and get experience, or he his prepping the transfer linked Spanish clubs to see how he really plays, as he's not getting any game time at The Arsenal. I personally think the latter, but thats me.
Looking forward to the Man City game, it doesnt seem as though there is any injury news. Almunia is out for another 3 weeks, which coincides nicely with the transfer window dont you think?? I'll let you make up your own assumptions about that. But more on Man City tomorrow, i'm back at 11, from a hard day at sixth form, then off to watch The Arsenal give a sticking to all the dirty scummers at City, especcially Adeb***r.
Until Then.....

Boring Boring Bank Holiday's!
Well, here we are, start of a new year and we feel obliged to have a new bank holiday. With Arsenal playing on saturday, and now the upcoming Weds, there really isnt much to talk about in terms of Arsenal.
The transfer window re-opens, and a few of our loanees are returning. Vito Mannone is returning from Hull, which makes it more likely for Almunia to dissappear to Spain, whereby no-one is ever to see or hear from him again (probably for the best). Ramsey is retuning too. Now, i dont know how many games he has played exactly, but i know it is very little. SO when he returns, i dotn expect him to be anywhere near match fit, a few substitute appearances just to please the crowd and that will be it for him. I'm looking forward to having back fit and ready to make a real contibution to next season.
Now then, moving onto something a bit more 'juicy'. But with the ever apparent of the transfer rumours of Vela leaving Arsenal, it has come to my attention that Bolton are interested in him, whether it be on loan or to buy, but one thing that has come to my attention, is the idea of Gary Cahill becoming part of a player and cash exchange. With Coyle placing a £20 million price tag on him, it sounds as if, if the right offer was to come in, then he would depart with Cahill. Now this is just an idea, but what if we were to say give Vela and £7 million? for Cahill.
Sound Fair?
Anyway, looking forward to tomorrrow, where there may be a bit mroe news on the Man City game, and a bit more information in general on transfer dealings.

Get In There!!
Well, sorry about the late reply of the post, feeling the effects of a new years day party, which involves drinking champagne all day, instead of wasting our life away in pubs on new years eve, celebrating another minute of our life, with a new number at the end of the year. As you can tell, im not that fond of new years eve celebrations, and i feel sorry for all those people that stood outside in the freezing cold, just to see some fireworks that looked very nice in HD anyway? Very Strange.
Anyway, moving on to football.
What a side we are statring to look. I was shocked to see the Arsenal side that came out yesterday, showing the effort that they put in for the game, to come out and give them the result we all deserve. After the Wigan game, was nice to see the team that started against Chelsea start. That team, is slowly becoming our first team, and depending on the fitness of van persie and Djourou, i expect it to be the same against Man City.
As i look back on that game, i feel the way in which we bounced back from all of the ruggidness and hard tackling by Birmingham theoretically backfiring. Our football at times just out played Birmingham and they just couldnt handle us. The free flowing football of Cesc and Nasri, with the idea of Van Persie and Walcott atacking behind the defenders just frieghtened them off, and prevents them from attacking. This is why i feel Walcott, even if he doesnt seem to be as great as he should be at times, can possibly be such an important factor in big games. He prevents the attacking full backs, and agaisnt Man City, to see him getting behind the slow defence, it will be a delight to see.
What also is a delight to my ears, is the dirty horrible twat of a player Bowyer, got his abuse from the fans with the song "We've got Cesc Fabregas, You've Got Lee Bowyer". Along with the rumours that he is getting a probe into the incident where he stamped on Sagna. This should hopefully prevent him from stamping on a few players forthe rest of his career, a couple of games.
Anyway, more tomorrow, on Man City and any other related news that may arise.
