I don't think I could take watching that four times in a row. I know how Arsenal fans used to feel. Surely not again.

Use to feel, what you think city are going to do at the weekend!

Most of us have enjoyed every single one of un0-0d's games so far this season

Long may it continue

That might just be the team on sunday and I actually want that...

Though Dawson is still a doubt and it'll more likely be a central pairing of Gardner and Rocha....

Jenas can play on the right, he can cross the ball decently enough and it'll add some much needed strength in that midfield. Zokora to be the "destroyer" in our team (To be honest I am not the biggest fan of Zokora, he's athletic and decent enough technically, but his stupid and hasn't got the intelligence, i.e he makes the most daftest decisions on the ball...)

Keane to drop deep and Bent to play as a target man...

Huddlestone to be more creative and needs to be there to help us keep possesion better....

Like I said before, Man U are expected to beat us, their fans expect to hammer us, but Jol's out to prove a point and the players should put in the extra 20 pecent effort to prove Jol there worth etc etc...

Like I said, will see what happens on Sunday.....

I don't understand why teams do put *10 men* behind the ball especially Premiership teams.

That match was great. I remember being somewhere at halftime and hearing on a shop radio it was 3-0 and thinking wtf. Then i got home checked teletext and 3-5 again said wtf

Tottenham is my favourite team to play, they try to play like us only with inferior players so it's easy to create chances. Though i would prefer if it was at white hart lane.

So that they don't leave space for passing teams to exploit... its pretty self explanatory, if they come away with a point against any of the top 4 home or away, thats considered a good result for the vast majority of the clubs in the premiership.

Do you remember when Spurs went 3-0 up against Man City and lost 4-3

Do you remember when Spurs went 2-0 up against Leicester and lost 3-2

Do you remember when Spurs were one point away from the Champions League, and we stopped them

We don't try to play like you....What a fucking spaz....You would think your the only team in the whole wide world who plays attacking football.....The big-headedness will be you fans downful this season, in terms of the banter and all...

1pt = some kind of victory ? this depresses me .. every team should 'Play to Win'. Teams who just come and decide not to play , should be banned.

I bet we are one of your least favourite teams to play

It's a smart tactic for teams that can't buy international superstars for tens of millions.

Arsenal on saturday i was going to go but all my mates couldnt go and didnt fancy the trip on my own.

It will be very hard but we can play with no fear. We will play with confidence and i believe we have a chance of a draw. It will be hard and i predict 2-1 Arsenal. If we do get a point it would be an incredble start to the season and id find it hard to keep my feet on the ground.

Do you remeber when West Ham were in the Championship division? Do you remember you lot had a team with Carrick, Defoe,J.Cole etc and you still went down?

We may had our fair share of embrassing results, but atleast we havn't been relegated in god knows how long... ..Plus, if you lot didn't cheat last year, you lot would have been relegated again....

for real ????

Im sure derby would love to come to old trafford and have all the possesion and attack throughout

unfortunately for them though just one of man u's attackers will probably be worth more than their entire team

Oh god...here you go. We beat Arsenal and United etc to stay up...something you haven't done in about 10 years. (Arsenal being about 20 years).

Go and dream over being a top 4 club...bottom by Monday

Well man city can do that now, and spurs have spent more than us in recent years.
Not really Deano i usually enjoy facing West ham also. Newcastle also. It's the Liverpool type i don't like to face

Those clubs have money, but they can't attract international superstars lerd.

Why should teams come to OT and be fearful of Manchester United , same for going to Stamford Bridge and Anfield etc. Okay i know if they attack they would get raped , but they will get credit for *giving it a go*.

Rai, are you feeling okay? you arnt half talking some rubbish!

The 3-2 Milan was a great game....Where did i mention Milan? the 3-0 was a great performance from them, didn't like the ref being Gattuso's best friend but no arguments there cotr. Liverpool type = defensive boring long ball hack anti football stuff

What makes you think you lot will beat Wigan, for us to be bottom?

Anyways cheating thing was a wind-up....

Anyways, will dream of the top 4, and I'll emphasise dream, coz its a hard task for anyone to break into that top 4 and I said it from before the season that we won't...

And you lot dream of being a top 7 club....
