Last season, Graham Arnold mocked Western Sydneys Pirtek Stadium as a little shed.Now hes tried claim their new A-League home as his own, declaring ANZ Stadium actually belongs to the Sky Blues.Unsurprisingly, Arnold threw the first barb ahead of Saturdays blockbuster Sydney derby.The headline opening-round clash will be held at ANZ Stadium where, along with Spotless Stadium, the Wanderers will play home matches while Pirtek is knocked down and rebuilt.A year ago, Arnold launched one of his famous verbal projectiles by welcoming his cross-town rivals to Sydneys mansion, apparently aiding their escape from Parramattas corrugated-iron dwelling.Asked on Wednesday to describe ANZ Stadium - which boasts nearly double the capacity of Sydneys Allianz Stadium - he took a different tack.Its our stadium, Arnold said.Were loaning the Wanderers our stadium for the game.Weve played Chelsea and Tottenham there; we played Newcastle there last year.So its more our stadium than theirs because weve been on it more than them.While the words will surely mean precious little to Wanderers coach Tony Popovic, recent history suggests Sydney might have the wood over last seasons grand finalists.When the teams kick off, it will have been 1001 days since Western Sydney won a Sydney derby, in January 2014.The match also follows a successful pre-season for a revamped Sydney squad, in contrast to the Wanderers mixed results and 4-1 FFA Cup thumping by Melbourne City.ddddddddddddArnold reiterated his mantra that form went out the window in the heat of derbies, but said strong pre-season displays had boosted his players confidence.If we do have one little edge on them its our experience in the derby, he said.Theyve got 15 or 16 new players this year and it will be a new experience for them.(Suspended captain) Nikolai Topor-Stanley will be a big loss for them.Hes their leader and he knows what derbies are about.My biggest concern - if there is any - is what starting XI do I put out out there when Ive got 15-16 players fighting for first-team spots?Western Sydney officials have forecast a crowd of at least 60,000, which would easily break the record for any competitive club football match in Australia.Most spectators are expected to be clad in red and black, and Sky Blues skipper Alex Brosque has told his team to use the atmosphere as fuel for on-field hate.You definitely can get too hyped, you feel the anticipation and excitement that comes into this game, Brosque said at the clubs season launch.Id be lying if I said you treat it like any other game.We go out there, and Ive told the boys previously in games, we hate every single one of them.
