1.53 points per home game is decent.

by westisbest Sat 14 Dec 2013, 11:38 am

On it in a while, going to Bournemouth Blues game.
Banker home win Whistle

.

Speaking of home wins.

Its about time we beat Utd at VP

RVP out, keep the monkey quiet and up our game, might just get very long overdue win.

Having said that we were 2-0 up against them last season and messed that up.

No, 2-1 Villa.

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 12:03 pm

Theo starting!!

sweet

by Guest Sat 14 Dec 2013, 12:25 pm

Theo should be ruining defenders like Clichy.

I can just see City being too strong & overpowering Arsenal. Not sure how good a game it will be though, Arsenal need a good start because in the second half can see them suffering from tiredness. 3-1 City for me.

by kingraf Sat 14 Dec 2013, 12:36 pm

I'm backing Arsenal today. 2-1. It's a bit of a brave pick, but I think they'll be up for it.

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 12:43 pm

Form is suggesting a 2-1 or 3-1 city.

But I am going for. 1-0 arsernal.. Arsernal have the ability to shut the best out away and this is the biggest game for ages.

by Guest Sat 14 Dec 2013, 12:59 pm

Unbalanced Arsenal - in trouble here, as so many teams have been too. 1-0 down Aguero.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:00 pm

Aguero is just on fire. What a finish

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:04 pm

If palace go to this ground and only lose 4-0 I will be happy. That is how good they are this season at home. But this game isn't over yet

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:05 pm

Amazing finish by Aguero, can you imagine him and Suarez upfront together!!!

Both sides looking good going forward. Arsenal don't confident at the back enough, and City look like scoring with every attack. Monreal isn't very good, never really rated him. How people said he was better than Patrice Evra in the summer is beyond me.

But Arsenal also looking very dangerous going forward. Expect this to be an amazing game.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:06 pm

Koscielny stood like a statue ball watching for the goal. Very poor marking

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:10 pm

True. But the finish was brilliant.

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:18 pm

Good goal walcott.

Owen needs glasses. There was no deflection

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:18 pm

Pantillimon is so bad

by Born Slippy Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:19 pm

This City keeper looks dreadful. I suspect it may be the last game Hart has to watch for some time.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:20 pm

1-1

Yaya Toure giving the ball away very cheaply. Theo Walcott scores, but looked to me as there was deflection.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:21 pm

Actually looking at the replay no deflection. But just looks like poor keeping and a rubbish finish. Not pretty. But like i say there will be goals, goals and goals in this game.

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:23 pm

A goals a goal can't blame Walcott for a rubbish finish. The keeper to his credit was obscured by his defender. But he still should have done better. Fingers crossed that could make way for hart

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:24 pm

Top game so far..

2-1

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:24 pm

City 2-1 Arsenal

City are just brilliant going forward. What a first time touch from Pablo Zableta, that is why he is the best right back in this league, nice little pass in and tidy finish by Negredo.

Goals, goals and goals!!

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:25 pm

This. I still think Hart should of returned to his rightful post as number one, after his brilliant performance against Germany.

by Born Slippy Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:26 pm

Weird injury that. Looked fine as the goal went in but he's clearly done his knee. This match is suddenly taking a disastrous turn for Arsenal.

by compelling and rich Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:28 pm

city controlling this game, arsenal goal came out of nowhere.

koscielny injury could be massive for arsenals season, been impressed with him the last couple of seasons and they need his pace to cover for mertezackers lack of

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:40 pm

I think Arsenal are doing ok. City just look to powerful for them going forward. But Arsenal going forward on the break, look very dangerous as well.

by **Crimey** Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:43 pm

Koscielny has a 'laceration' which is better news than a muscle tear or similar.

big girl, gone off from a cut? still cant believe rooney was out as long as he was for a cut. good news for arsenal fans at least

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 1:56 pm

O my lord, that is a fantastic goal.

3-1.

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:03 pm

Giroud is shocking today

Wilshire needs to play up front, get Carzola on

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:03 pm

Should have been a penalty

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:07 pm

Insane goal by Walcott ..

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:07 pm

WHAT A GOAL!!!

3-2. Amazing game.

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:08 pm

What a Come back. As I said he is a striker full on. Up there as one of the best finishers in the league

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:10 pm

4-2. David Silva!!

GOALS, GOALS AND GOALS!!!!

couldnt agree with you more.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:13 pm

That save was brilliant. Makes up for his mistake for the first goal. Also some breaking news

There's been a reported r*** at the Ethiad. Anyone that wants to comfort Monreal, I'm sure he'd appreciate it

by Guest Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:14 pm

Thankyou.

Been saying it for months & I was amazed at the reaction I got from people. With Giroud, Arsenal will not achieve anything long term.

Cracking game

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:16 pm

Citeh shoring it up with Milner.

Come on arsernal..

by JamesLincs Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:20 pm

never rated giroud

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:22 pm

Not sure why Giroud is getting slated. His performances this season have been brilliant. But with the likes of Bendtner as 2nd choice striker, Arsenal really aren't genuine title contenders IMO.

by JamesLincs Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:23 pm

think this games done with now for arsenal

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:29 pm

Yeah City look in to much control.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:32 pm

City 5-2 Arsenal.

Another spanking at the ethiad.

by Guest Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:33 pm

City look incredible at home, will only improve over time away from home under Pellegrini. Squad has serious depth, sure Hart will be back in goal relatively soon. Easily favourites for me.

Arsenal knew this was going to be a tough few games. It hasn't gone to plan, however they still lead the EPL, thanks to previous form & slip ups by their rivals. Chelsea game to come is massive, lose that & the confidence & belief could be lost to sustain a title challenge. Giroud, simply not good enough to lead a side challenging for an EPL title.

by Guest Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:34 pm

Looks like I have missed a belter. Has it been competitive or have City been that much better?

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:35 pm

milner looks a shoe in for England- great impact. That Brazilian looks a bit tasty though!!

Nick I only slated Giroud for this game..at that point he had just fluffed 3 good chances within 10 mins

But I think with the midfield options they have Walcott should be first choice striker.

Oh what arsernal score and they wernt offside!!

by Born Slippy Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:35 pm

Some tripe offside decisions against Arsenal today.

by mystiroakey Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:37 pm

great game I think 6-4 would have been a fairer result though, arsernal had a penalty and two goals that wernt offside, but overall citeh the better team

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:39 pm

5-3. Good header by Mertertasker. Too little too late.

Amazing game.

PENALTY!

by NickisBHAFC Sat 14 Dec 2013, 2:40 pm

6-3. WILL IT EVER END!!!
