41.

But I've only been in the UK - and going to Spurs games - since 1999. :)

I was surprised at the last 1882 game how often this was sung, and how often in general the chants were anti Arsenal rather than pro Spurs or player related.


This is the reason I don't go to games anymore, the vile and abusive songs at football grounds are a disgrace and I don't want to be associated with the people that sing them

It was worse in the seventies and eighties now days is tame.

We are 5/2 to win this game, looks generous to me

Was thinking the same. Its a similar case with the Merseyside derby....Liverpool clear favourites, but you can understand that one a bit more as they're 12 points ahead of them in the League.

But with us there's only two points. I thought the odds would be much tighter than that. Maybe even us ever so slight favourites or pretty much identical.

Our last four NLD's at WHL we have only lost last year, narrowly, IIRC. Surprising the bookies make them such clear favourites, considering what we did to Chelsea and generally have played well against the better sides at home to.

For what it's worth Martin Atkinson is the referee tomorrow and he hasn't officiated a Premiership game at WHL for the last few seasons. Looking at ours and Arsenal record with him in charge it makes interesting reading over the last 2-3 seasons.

29 Dec 2012 12:45 Sunderland 1 - 2 Spurs
19 Jan 2014 13:30 Swansea 1 - 3 Spurs

29 Sep 2012 12:45 Arsenal 1 - 2 Chelsea
20 Jan 2013 13:30 Chelsea 2 - 1 Arsenal
23 Feb 2013 15:00 Arsenal 2 - 1 Aston Villa
14 Sep 2013 15:00 Sunderland 1 - 3 Arsenal
02 Nov 2013 17:30 Arsenal 2 - 0 Liverpool
14 Dec 2013 12:45 Man City 6 - 3 Arsenal
06 Apr 2014 13:30 Everton 3 - 0 Arsenal
05 Oct 2014 14:05 Chelsea 2 - 0 Arsenal
26 Dec 2014 17:30 Arsenal 2 - 1 QPR

Spurs P2 W2
Arsenal P9 W4 L5

He's officiated a lot of Arsenal Chelsea games, and the heavy lunch time defeat against City last season.

Bookies don't often get the odds wrong and I think it reflects what most people seem to think that the Arse are strong favourites.
Personally I think we will get a draw out of this but if they play the way they have against city and Villa then we could be in big trouble and then it's the scousers and they have also hit good form and they have sturridge back as well. Two draws in these 2 games and I will be quite happy. I know many here think as we beat chelski 5-3 then we can do the same but that was a one off and we did let in 3 goals. So as I say 2 draws and it will show we are progressing and are getting more difficult to beat.

Had a season ticket for years but the anti everyone else rather than being pro spurs drove me crazy

Sad to hear - but I'm the same.

So sad

Let's still support COYS

This has got to be the most depressing, navel gazing, self-hating Match Thread in the history of the internet.

Come on guys - we're playing the HATED ENEMY; in one of the most pivotal Derbies in YEARS.

Get around us! COYS!

Not going tomorrow, instead I will be watching at my good friend Byrons house an arsenal fan, with his brother also an arsenal fan, and 2 other friends both arsenal fans...

Gonna love the banter sitting there in my spurs shirt!

Weird that most of my mates are all arsenal, probably a South London thing...

Gonna love shouting yidddo's yidddo's yiddoooooo's when we win!!!

I would much rather "hate" the Chavs or Spammers. Quite honestly I look at L'Arse as our small cousin that has learning difficulties.

I don't "hate" other teams! I'm a Spurs fan, their are MY team.

Hate is for misguided spotty teenager supporters from other teams.
