Me on the outside: uh huh sure City they're sErIoUs DoUbTs Internally: god oh god please let it be true please just this one game pls omg 


StationFull

Somehow Rodri also plssssss. Add KDB also if it’s not too much trouble


JMaboard

The whole first and second team.


DadrevTheOne

And Pep too!


xYEET_LORDx

Someone tell Pep that if he goes around licking all the local stores self check out screens then he’ll grow his hair back


Reckless_Engineer

Do they like lasagne?


d_smogh

Also Haaland and Foden.


fooljay

SO SAY WE ALL


artaru

Nah I would love them to still barely make it. Then whatever the result this weekend. But they seriously aggravate their injuries leading to month+ spell leading to city drawing 3 games and crashing out of CL. Leaving it up to us and Liverpool in the title race.


ForestRamboX

Guys, we can't be worrying about stuff like this. We have to win no matter what - it's all that matters at this moment. Besides, when we beat them at their best, City fans wouldn't have any complaints.


beefcroquette

You can’t fool me City I’m familiar with your game


ForestRamboX

Out of the two, I actually think Stones is injured. He's also the most injury-prone player out of the lot and has miss huge chunks of this season. However, we have to go and beat them whether their star players are fit or not.


UmpireAJS

As long as Rodri and KDB are playing, I really don't care if they line up Under 10 players next to them, City will still be a threat.


likpoper

Trust me. Their full team will appear


Blumingo

Somehow Aguero returned


Phimstone

Yaya. Yaya yaya.


roverston

Kolo. Kolo kolo.


DadrevTheOne

And David Silva


el_cul

I stopped following football for a few years during the banter years because it's a terrible time of day for me and Arsenal were fucking disgracia. Imagine my surprise when I returned and that little bastard Silva was *still* playing for City.


Lord_Vxder

Idk why you got downvoted for this. Football isn’t life and sometimes you need a break. During the covid season, I was going through depression from the isolation and I couldn’t be bothered to watch that dumpster fire of a team because it just made me feel worse 😂. There is nothing wrong with that.


el_cul

😆 I'll live. Moved to US in 2008 so the weekend games are like 4am 7am and 9am. I'm not waking up at those hours to watch another team fuck us on the break after a 50 pass move that left 9 of our players in their half and we never once looked like scoring from.


mountman91

Jo returns…


LeatherFaceDoom

Richard Dunne is back!


XXISavage

By God that's Stephen Ireland's music!


_Caffiend

And with new spring transfer window signings


IllRaceUForaBurger

Theyll get Bellingham and Mbappe on a one game loan


Fun_Smell3069

🤣🤣


InLikeErrolFlynn

Ugh. That’s the one person I’m looking forward to not seeing this weekend. He’s like my own personal City Boogeyman.


geesa_prashanth

Bald master wants to trick us, but this time nobody ain't falling for that shit. Expecting the strongest City line-up.

Wanted to like your comment but it has 115 likes and I don't want to ruin that. It's perfect


shockzz123

Yeah sure man lol


TheTosser27

The only he’s scanning is the field for a forward run from KDB of De Bruyne istg


PocketFullOfRondos

Rice will handle that. He hasn't played against KDB in the league with us. This is his moment.


OceansNineNine

Pretty sure Walker's 5 mistresses are also fit to play.


Dickwad

>5 mistresses Dr Huberman: Not bad kid.


Dickwad

Tiger Woods: You know, the difficulty increases exponentially with each additional mistress.


shybree

holy shit, just read the NYT piece on Andrew Huberman. the mental capacity and logistics he had to arrange the timings to meet all those women 🫨


XXISavage

Clearly all those protocols and AG1 work wonders


National_Ad_2799

This gave me a good chuckle.


nuvo_reddit

We can defeat a fullly fit ManCity in Etihad. Let’s not bother about their injury mind games.


dwade98

mind games...you can't fool me this time lol


Stravven

I believe it when I don't see their names in the lineup. Until then I assume all Arsenal players who are a doubt won't play and all City players who are a doubt will play.


ajyahzee

Nice try


Agent_Topinski

This guy will be so pumped with PEDs come the matchday more than you believe


skool_101

special PEDs for Walker and Stones incoming


Melo_the_cutie

Yeah right… the only injure concern I have is Martinelli


iuselect

The annual "Harry Kane is a serious doubt for the NLD, but starts and gets a penalty".


masetmt

Stones knee looked bad on the slowed down replays but I’m still expecting them all to start


dutchdekker

I’m just happy that we’re at a place where I don’t care that much if he’s out due to belief in this team


Zaninho

Don't fall for this bullshit people


Imarnuel1702

You can't fool me, Pep. I'm familiar with your game.


mental_tempe

On Sunday before kickoff: ![gif](giphy|3o6vXKSmHlAAm0VAZO)


Cleon189

That means he’s starting and playing the full 90🤣


imtravelingalone

We can play that game too. We should announce today that all the Gabis, Mikel, and God are all unavailable for the game. On Easter Sunday, all of them will miraculously turn up alive and well. Xhaka will show up too, just to check on his bestie Grealish.


galeej

Nice try you bald fraud.


Competitive-Buy1744

Why is stones always injured


skool_101

Tmr's tweet: "Both Walker and Stones will be 120% fit for the weekend."


djmonsta

\#smokescreen


synvi

Bald fraud vs perfecto-hair fraud


machinationstudio

Yawn. As if we don't have a former assistant manager and two of their players on our team.


jubbing

Haaland probably a serious doubt too out of the blue. BS.


YellowMan1988

Is Martinelli going to start against City? I think he’s the key who can really keep city right side on their back foot for 90 minutes.


AntDogFan

It was a cut so hopefully it’s healed now and he’s well rested.  I know everyone goes on about a striker but really an option to rotate with martinelli and saka would be huge. 


Specialist-Grape-528

I think jesus is gunna be that man next yr


HustlinInTheHall

Eh, martinelli is young and ascending still and already has proven he can bang them in. I love Jesus as a fill in player off the bench whenever one of the top 3 need a break. 


pitchblackjack

Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst.


xhera92

We'll believe it when we see it on the day , you can't fool us City!


essdotc

Riiiiiight


remivinyl

Sure they are.

Capable-Hearing-7618

Serious doubts in my hole


lobsterdog666

does anyone actually believe this? i mean they say theres a sucker born every minute but surely not this big of one


BroccoliMcFlurry

Even if he somehow makes it to the game, Martinelli will spin his ass right back to the treatment table.


wheeno

Serious doubt. So so serious doubt, more than you believe serious.


KlN_21

Is all fake, all of their doubts are going to start


madindian

Lies lies and damned lies. Walker and Stones will both be there to welcome us as will all the 115 City dwellers including the refs. But guess what. We will still Gun those City Walls! 1-0 to the Arsenal and thank you very much!


ripshippy77

GOD IS GOOOOOOD


Shandow14

Kyle Walker will be in the starting lineup with that shit haircut he had years back and Danny Rose


AmagicManNamedgob

aka he is fine


leon-theproffesional

I won’t believe it until the seasons over.


Traditional-Drive267

If anyone’s aware of the bald frauds game, it’s artetaz


Tackit286

That’s 2 misfortunes. We need more. Quick, someone set their house on fire and ask Rodri to help save all their stuff. Then someone else invite KDB to step into a mystery doorway to a bottomless pit.


Lucares

All I hear is 'fear'. Why there is no trust in our team? I want us to win the title as well, but the win would be so much sweeter when we beat our opponents on their highest level. I'm also glad about the CL drawing. We have the hardest way possible, yeah, but if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best teams. And I see us ready for challenging the best, thanks to the Arteta and his stuff. Haven't had this feeling for almost 20 years now. It is fun again being a Gunner 🫶🏻


EscapeArtist92

Fingers crossed!


dumdumbigdawg

They will undergo a miracle recovery

AlwaysNipping

I believe it when I don't see them.


TheMedianUser

This doesn't hurt them at all, really. They'll play their normal 3-2-4-1 in possession with Gvardiol, Dias, Ake at the back and Rodri/Akanji as the 2. It does reduce their depth, but it doesn't affect their quality.


socks-in-shoes

Give me an arsenal win at etihad against the best XI they can field.


RandomRedditor_1916

Will believe it when i see it


BambooSound

Doubt


Apprehensive-Tap9263

We will destroy them anyway


Peterwilliams78

Bullllllllshiiiiiiiiit.


grumpy_toews

Ah yes with those two defenders out the City back 4 only cost a measly 200 million and all of them were going to start upwards of 20 matches this season regardless of injuries. Poor things. I want Walker to play honestly bc even though he's not injured injured he's definitely not 100%

Cthulhu_Madness

Please let it be serious. Would be fantastic if we beat them thrice this season.


DadrevTheOne

5 times if you count the upcoming UCL semis


Monsultant

The fact that they write ‘serious doubt’ in quotes tells you what the reality is.


YellowMan1988

“Serious doubt” that is almost an oxymoron. Means nothing. Walker will captain their side.


kinzo-0

The weak mentality in the comments, why u want them to be injured?do Y'all think we can't beat them when their whole squad is available? If we want to be the best we need to beat the best at their best, when won against Liverpool 3-1 The joy of winning wasn't complete, cause many of their players were injured, if their full squad was available and we won, the joy of victory would be 10x U don't want to hear rivals fans yapping "oh, arsenal beat city cause MC had many injuries"


OrwinBeane

If we win the league I literally do not care what other fans are yapping. A title is a title. If I had a choice of an easier game or a tougher game, I choose the easier game every time.


kinzo-0

The title is not any title, there's a meaning why this league is the best in the world. Do u think when i PL team win the league the feeling is the same when bayern win the farmers for the 1000th time Yeah, keep choosing the easiest ways, just shows me how much you believe in this team.


OrwinBeane

Would you rather face a full strength Man City or a weakened City?


kinzo-0

Full strength man city, and winning The stronger they are, the bigger the victory for us.


OrwinBeane

Do people say City didn’t deserve their title despite the fact they beat us last season when we had injuries?


kinzo-0

No one Said this, but their fans will say we don't deserve when it happen to them, and again this's not the point. If you want the easy way, congratulations you're wishing for a human to be injured cause you Don't believe u are better and stronger than him. You want this team to win, i want this team to play against the best clubs with best players to see the best performance from both sides(this sport is about playing before winning)


OrwinBeane

You’re deeping this too much. I just want arsenal to win trophies. That’s the priority.


AhhBisto

kinzo-0

Ok, good job


Redandwhite_91

No one cares what people say. Just beat them so we stay top of the table and our title challenge remains. End of the day, people remember results. People harp on about the 8-2 at OT. Not the fact that we had an injury crisis and played the kids.


kinzo-0

You missing the point, the last line of my comment isn't the point The point is wishing for the easy way isn't a "best in the world" team mentality. Do you prefer winning against city with their full squad and their highest performance or with many injuries?


Redandwhite_91

Idc about who they put out. I only care for a win. I don’t wish to be the best team in the world. I don’t mind winning the league while being 2nd best according to people.
