Preview: Manchester City v Arsenal
November 19, 2008
Quick write up as I’m headed off for a trip to the south first thing on the morrow.
Let’s see… what else could go wrong for us this year? A few more injuries, I suppose. Theo Walcott will probably… oh, wait… he’s already gone and done his shoulder. See you next year, Theo. Sagna… out… most of the rest of the fucking side… out, for one reason or another. I suppose sometime during warm up a stiff wind will come along and fell three of our four starting midfielders with hamstring injuries while simultaneously giving Mikael Silvestre a wicked case of les sniffles. So, the Scurvy Prognostication of The Match is:
Manchester City 1-1 Arsenal
That really hurt to do. I haven’t predicted anything other than a win for the Arsenal all season. I almost dread another loss for this one. I think Citeh might be due. And, they’re now one of those teams that we’re supposed to beat handily, yet always seem to eke out points against us. The start of the year seemed so promising… it’s a good thing there’s lots of football yet to be played. We’ll make up for it eventually. It’s the run up to Boxing Day that will be a slog. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
