INB4 City will rape Arsenal.
Really doubt it, City won't have Yaya, Aguero and Na$ri and they also haven't scored a single goal in the league on Emirates on the past 5 years. Not saying we'll win or anything, I know we're playing pretty bad and all that but I doubt city will "rape" us, it'll probably be a close match.

It also seems Walcott is finally going to sign da ting. Yay :toot:

Hey... the 18-19 Match is tomorrow. Somebody tie Suarez' hands behind his back. Wait, has he ever played against Vidic before [since Vidic was gone for a while from injuries]? I realize Vidic had a record of getting booked and whatnot against Liverpool before he got injured, though... Hm... Sucks that Rooney's still injured.

Also, LOL @ Liverpool fans who think Sturridge was sent by the football gods or some other delusional crap.

PS

This is so NOT a subtle jab at City... I swear.

Nah, but I'm sure that Suarez+Sturridge combo will be deadly. Look how well he sets up Sterling for some great chances. Though I think Sturridge will still be way too greedy :/

I'd argue Sturridge was just being greedy because he wasn't getting starts as the lone striker with Fernando "cant-finish" Torres ahead of him every game and he was trying to get to be the first choice striker.

If anyone wants to play with numbers, here's some funny ones. Liverpool gave us £5 million in compensation for Rodgers and than £15 million for Allen. Swansea than proceeded to bring in the following:

Michael Laudrup- free
Chico Flores- £2m
Jon De Guzman- season long loan
Michu- £2.2m
Ki SY- £5.4m
Kyle Bartley- £1m
Pablo Hernandez- £5.5m
Itay Shrectar- season long loan
Dwight Tiendelli- free

Altogether that cost us around £16m. Not bad, not bad at all.

Well I can't say I didnt expect City to rape us.
They are so much better as a team.
I'm a die hard arsenal fan and I can still admit that.

Deserved by win by city, although I gotta say both red cards were dodgy decisions. Would've loved to see the complete match being 11 v 11.
I'm highly disappointed in wilshere, expected him to punch Mike Dean in the face the whole match. He didn't. :angry:

Joe Allen is getting some nasty things said about him on twitter. However former teammate Jazz Richards is standing up for him.

*sigh*
Undeserved, no matter how bad a performance it was... Honestly, I would have started Sturridge instead of Allen. The whole team performed like shit in the first half anyway.

Seriously, it's ridiculous how we don't even seem to be trying to sign someone with Arteta out for 3 weeks. If Diaby breaks again (which is more likely than not) we're fucked.
