good day all gunners fans am happy the team is gelling i hope nd i believe we can step up nd crap 1 or 2 trophies thats what matters most…. gunner 4life
thanks to all gunners to keeping the faith. we shall smile this season with at least 1 trophy
I believe arsenal can win at etihad stadium,with that sharp team and good defense,but wenger should stick to the team that won at france.
i believe the team that started against Southampton is our best bet, with Pod Gerv andy Ox up front i see a better chance of us scoring goals and they’ve shown that they’re willing to put in a shift defensively, Giroud would make a good substitute at about the 65th minute to switch it up a little.
this match wil determine the strength of the team,lets see how it goes on sunday,wish arsenal all the three points.
Welcome back Jack we all miss u. For the weekend match Arsenal 3-2 Man City…………..Up Gunners 4 life!!!
i believed dt we can do it again,al we ned is jt cncntratn on d game wt d team work I knw dt d 3point is 4sure.up gunners!!!
By God willing Arsenal will win the match, provided the maintain their quality and sharpness in attacking and defence, Up Gunners!

Even if things are not working out with my Arsenal, i still and will always believe in my team.Sofar,with the way things are going? It is certain we would win trophies this season,but i think we need the likes of M’villa in that holding mid-field to complement Arteta.Paix à les E’quipe
