We lost to Spurs.
I think he's referring to the FA Cup.

This has nothing to do with the game but can someone help me out with something? Percentage wise roughly how many people in Manchester support City and how many support United? My brother and I have a difference of opinion on this.

I can't give you a strict percentage, but I would say that City are not even the 2nd biggest club in Manchester. Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have big followings here as well.
Some people forget that Manchester is a multi-cultural city. Lots of people in Manchester are immigrants and migrants that settled down here.
If I were to guess, I would say that about half the support is for United, while 10% is for City. The remaining 40% is for other clubs.
Maybe 10-20% support City I'd guess considering any time I'm in Manchester, you rarely meet a City local.
FA Cup Semi. Wasn't specifying all EPL, just consecutive head to heads.We lost to Spurs.

No its not important to beat them. THis result will have no bearing on our FA cup final and the next season. If there has been any meaningless game for us, then this is the one.Poor attitude imo.
We are trying to build momentum into the final and next season. Think it's important that we beat them. Pretty sure Mourinho doesn't see it as a "nothing game".
Seems like only Romero going by the press conference. Still not very certain given these journalists hack never press on game related things.Is Valencia fit for this?
Expect a 433, maybe Rashford or Martial in the left Sánchez in the left.

I don't understand your formation though.
Hope we put them to the sword to send Arsene off in proper style.

What a midfield four it was! Da Silva twins on either flank with Gibson and O'Shea in the center. Awesome match. But that defense and GK was a class unit, yet not even first choice, but bordering on it!!
No. That was 08/09.Was that the season that Vidic and Van Der Sar played every minute when we broke the record for consecutive games/minutes without conceding a goal ?
This ..Hope we put them to the sword to send Arsene off in proper style.

Know the opposition
Arsenal Football Club (also known as The Gunners), are a professional football club based in Holloway, London. In late 1886, a gaggle of workers from the Woolwich Arsenal Armament Factory decided to form a football team. They called themselves Dial Square as a reference to the sundial atop the entrance to the factory. On December 11, 1886, Dial Square romped to a 6-0 victory over Eastern Wanderers; the first game in their initial guise. Shortly afterwards the name ‘Royal Arsenal’ was adopted. Today, Arsenal are one of the most successful and popular clubs in the history of the English league, with a trophy haul than includes 13 League titles, 12 FA Cups, and 2 League Cups.
When Henry Norris decided that Arsenal needed a new manager in the summer of 1925, he could never have anticipated the impact of his next appointment. After flirting with relegation in the previous season, Chapman set about reinventing the Club with almost immediate effect, and in a broader sense helped move football from the amateur era into a professional one. In his first season at Highbury, the new manager steered the Gunners to an FA Cup Quarter Final and a second-place finish in the First Division; the highest league placing in their history. And unlike many of his contemporaries in Britain, Chapman was a fan of the continental game and counted among his friends Hugo Meisl and Jimmy Hogan, coaches of the Austrian Wunderteam of the 1930s.
In the mid '90s, they appointed another visionary in Arsène Wenger with former vice-chairman David Dein bringing him to the club in 1996 - Dein actually wanted to appoint him a year earlier before Bruce Rioch but the old school board did not want a foreign manager - and the next 20 years have been a remarkable and unforgettable period in the club’s history - with Arsenal building a reputation for playing an attractive, streamlined style of football that rivals some of the best teams in Europe while winning three league titles and seven FA Cups and boasting the likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pirès, Cesc Fàbregas and Robin Van Persie in their ranks.
The club plays its home games at the Emirates Stadium, and has a bitter sporting rivalry with neighbors Tottenham Hotspur in a match termed the North London Derby, apart from a competitive rivalry against the other major clubs of the Premier League, especially Manchester United - in an affair that peaked in the late 1990s to early 2000s period.

I think they'll be making some changes. A guess of their team would be:
CechWe should be able to beat this team.
Chambers--Mustafi--Holding--Kolasinac
Xhaka--Elnenny--Willock
Iwobi--Aubameyang--Welbeck
3-0. You just know how irrelevant Arsenal are when Mourinho is giving Wenger high praise.
Or probably has got to do with the fact that it will be Wenger's last game as Arsenal manager at OT.3-0. You just know how irrelevant Arsenal are when Mourinho is giving Wenger high praise.
