When asked why his players conceded so many yellow cards, he said.

Referees always book Arsenal more than other teams. Refs go out to book our players.




Now go ahead and back him up.

Wednesday's Carling Cup quarter-final fixtures sees Arsenal taking a trip to the City of Manchester Stadium to meet hosts, Manchester City.

Coach Mark Hughes has been under a little bit of pressure lately to produce better results than are currently being produced, considering the extent of cash spent to bring a number of big names over to the club. So against Arsenal, Hughes will be looking to make a statement about the effectiveness of his side by keeping them in the tournament and edging Arsenal out of it.
Robinho is back in attack for City, and should start this match. Emmanuel Adebayor, Craig Bellamy, Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez are also eager to have a go at Arsenal.
Likely names in midfield are Stephen Ireland, Nigel De Jong, Gareth Barry and Shaun Wright-Philips. Wright-Philips has got the necessary pace to counter Arsenal's(in form of Theo Walcott), and Ireland is always a good attacking force.
Defenders Lescott, Sylvinho, Komapany, Zabaletta were the 4 that featured in City's last Carling Cup match. Not likely that there will be any change, but if there is, it should be the addition of Kolo Toure. Shay Given will be in goal.

Arsenal will be looking for a win on Wednesday night to boost their confidence after suffering a 3 - 0 defeat to Chelsea in the EPL on Sunday. They've been impressive in the Carling Cup so far(their last win was over Liverpool, kicking Benitez and his men out) so this shouldn't be any different.
Striker Robin Van Persie eagerly anticipated featuring in this game, but unfortunately for him and Arsenal, he is sidelined with a rather serious injury.
With Bendtner also out injured, coach Wenger is left with Eduardo and Carlos Vela.
Likely names to start in midfield include Aaron Ramsey, Fran Merida Perez, Denilson, Nasri [/b]and Eboue. However, things are rather different now - after the EPL losses to Sunderland and Chelsea, Arsene Wenger would very much like to win this encounter to restore confidence in his side. And, as Manchester City have proven themselves tenacious opponents in the past, having a strong midfield will not be a bad idea.
In this light, Theo Walcott, [b]Cesc Fabregas and Tomas Rosicky should make the bench in case of an emergency situation on the pitch, goal-wise.
Defenders Armand Traore, William Gallas, Tomas Vermaelen, Silvestre, Sagna and Senderos are available for Wenger to choose from.
Arsenal really need to try and keep a clean sheet.  .  .as their scoring frequency seems to have reduced, the least they can do is keep things tight at the back.
In this regard,[b] Almunia [/b]is the best goalie option, but we'll likely see Fabianski or Mannone.
This will definitely be a tough encounter.

Who's 'SSN'?  

~Sauron~:
Allboyz, you are here again!!!
The last time you predicted a score-line, GAYnners were whupped by Bent.
Zip it for now cos anything you say shall be used against you on Sunday/Monday.

Ibime:
I can feel it in the air. . . . tension everywhere. . . . Gaynners discussing all sorts of tactical formations needed to beat the mighty Blues. . . . . lets go 4-3-3 , No, 4-4-2 , no, we need pace , no,we lack aerial ability , we need someone to stretch the fulbacks etc etc etc. . . . . I SMELL FEAR!!!


Meanwhile, all Chelsea fans are just chilling , kicking feet up , relaxing , lounging , etc, knowing victory is assured.


The contrast couldn't be more stark.

F u up:
I will go for silvester at left back on sunday,mainly because of strenght and aerial ability,which we need against chelsea, too short in midfield already

F u up:
Eboue @ left back would be a disaster!
Why would we do that when we have 4 defenders that could do the job there?Traore,silvester,Sagna and even Gallas(but Gallas should remain Central)
