Stig 0 Posted April 12, 2013 5-0 Home win.......... he reckons our defence is rubbish, and they won''t be able to stop Arsenal. He makes no mention of our home game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricky knight 0 Posted April 12, 2013 If we dont go out and have a go and try to defend for a point he could be right imo, teams who get anything at the big grounds usually have a go. of course i hope for a city win but if we are all honest it would be a shock if we acheive it.

RvWs 4 year contract 0 Posted April 12, 2013 I''m strangely confident.Tettey back... Johnson been in great form recently.I''m meeting an Arsenal mate before the game so as long as we dont get hammered I''ll be happy!1-0 Norwich... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirkstall Yellow 0 Posted April 12, 2013 just read that myself. he''s right though, we were poor at the back against swansea, but i''m damn sure hughton will have stressed the importance of being solid at the back for this game. i would be surprised if we lost by anything like that margin. interestingly, whilst lawenson predicts 3-0, his ''mate for this week'' is predicting 2-2. fingers crossed!

AJ 1,218 Posted April 12, 2013 We have to turn up and play well, otherwise we will get slaughtered, there''s no doubt about thatI just hope Hughton doesn''t set us up to sit on the edge of our box, again.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SYG 0 Posted April 12, 2013 I am usually the most pessimistic person ever, but for a week now I''ve had a very strange optimistic feeling about tomorrow''s game. I''ve had the scoreline 2-1 stuck in my head, so yesterday went and put a bet on us winning by that score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Rose of Texas 0 Posted April 12, 2013 If Tetty and Pilkington are available, I''d put them straight back in the team .. and rest Hoolahan and put Howson or Bennett in his place behind a lone striker - probably Karama so we have some degree of pace. Hopefully Bunn will be O.K too. Do the above and I''m pretty confident we''ll get a score draw out of this game, Else 2-0 to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,518 Posted April 12, 2013 Have to admit to being positive about tomorrow too. Arsenal can blow hot or cold and I think we are the kind of team that they don''t like. We can compete with them on the level - we have class defenders and if Johnson and Tettey are on form we could well frustrate them. If the front four in our team turn up too, we could steal a result. 2 - 1 City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 76 Posted April 12, 2013 Actually yes. I thought at the beginning of last season we''d stay up on the back of momentum from the previous season for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted April 12, 2013 This season reminds me all to much of 1995 - so on that basis 5-1 to Arsenal. It was april we played them too and we then went on to lose the next 5 if I remeber correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hackedoff 0 Posted April 12, 2013 Ok we will probably lose this game but for that tit Merson to come out with we can''t defend is a ridiculous statement. Esp from just viewin the Swansea game. Obviously didnt watch the previous fixture or the Utd home game,plus the other various bore draws. But hey what do I know from a person that refers to Simmy as Cinnamon.
