ARSENAL v SPURS: Match Thread

[wiggo24]

Eriksen the only one not eligible to play. Lamela may play a part.

Lamela is at the Emirates, SS1 just showed him. They also said Eriksen is the only ineligible player for the game.

It's a complete shame Eriksen wasn't signed a week earlier. People here probably don't realize he's been in outrageous form for the past 4-5 months, and would solve a major weakness in our line-up by being our dead ball specialist (watch how little we get from corners and free kicks today).

Whatever result comes today, we have to keep in mind that our two biggest talents (Lamela and Eriksen) aren't likely to feature today. When they are embedded in the squad, we'll be smashing teams left and right.

Just shown lamela and holtby getting off team bus...

 

[tototoner]

Sky Sports just said Eriksen not eligible

Eriksen not eligible

I'm disappointed if I'm honest as I think he has more chance of hitting the ground running than lamela who I think might take a while.

I am trying out the sky sports day pass. So good so far, watching the Liverpool vs Man U

How does that work then?? Cost?

 

[alfiespurs]

Sitting here and really worried - The SCUM always up their game against us - Walcock, - but the other threat is the toss pot rocisky really got to quieten him. Rose is our weakest link ..........

Lamela at the ground with the squad. Eriksen may not be a problem with Holtby involved.

 

[TH1239]

I don't think the occasion will overwhelm Lamela, though. He's played in Boca-River and Roma-Lazio matches, so a heated atmosphere shouldn't be something completely unfamiliar to him.

Hell of an introduction to the premier league all the same!!!

 

[DEFchenkOE]

So if the starting line up is the same as Swansea, what's the bench?

My guess:

Friedel, Kaboul, Sandro, Holtby, Lamela, Carroll, Defoe

I'm sure I'm missing out someone obvious??

Agreed, Boca - River is supposedly the fiercest atmosphere of all derbies

 

[easley91]

Not expecting Lamela to start. Think Townsend has earned his. Lamela to come off the bench second half.

I believe it's a mind boggling £10!

exactly the NLD can't compare with the craziness of a Boca - River game

The gooners are puppy dogs compared to the fans of the clubs in the derbies he has played in!

 

[Gbspurs]

Dembele will start with Lewis on the bench and they will swap later on. Lamela will come on for Chadli/Townsend.

 

[Montasura]

I believe it's a mind boggling £10!

Cool, googled it so you just order through Now TV then. Surely a month of Sky Sports isn't much more though. Ah fuck it, I can't think straight today at all !!!

 

[yojambo]

Im dreading this, However the worst thing that could happen to Arsenal today is for them to win
as it reinforces Wenger's belief that he doesn't need to spend.
Hope we smash 'em though!!
