Match Threads Arsenal vs Spurs - Match Thread

[Blue]

said i was confident after the chelsea match - starting to get nervous now.

I just hope Lamela is in the squad. I'm fine with him not starting but we need him to come on with energy in the second half. He knows what these derbies are all about.

 

[Timberwolf]

They're notoriously slow starters so we need to blitz them like we did Chelsea. Press them hard, not let them settle and hope the likes of Kane and Son have their shooting boots on.

We're the better team but they can be lethal going forward when they get into their rhythm and I can't see us keeping a clean sheet here. I have a sneaking suspicion this will be our first draw of the season (the NLD being the most drawn fixture in the history of the PL).

I hope we turn up today away from home at Arse. Last couple of seasons - we have been inexplicably of the pace.
We cannot let that happen.
Need to start fast & continue.

Dele has to do a job on Torriera.
I would start Lucas - he has something to prove against Emery and has already stated it in the buildup to the game. But then, do you start him ahead of Sonny. Not sure. Our front 4 is the key today. Got to put their defense under pressure as early as possible

 

[Hazelton]

Do not fucking lose this. Please, lads.

I think the main thing that works to our advantage is that Arsenal are basically trying to employ the same style as us, except it's their first year and we've been doing it for a long time now. We should be fitter, more organised and more experienced playing with and against the high press. Should be an interesting game. Come on you Spurs.

No way should Lucas start instead of Son imo.

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankley have you heard of the north bank Highbury? Shankley says no I don’t think so but I’ve heard of the park lane Tottenham!

tip toe through the north bank in yer plimsolls & yer plastic flick knives tip toe with me

If I had the wings of a sparrow , If I had the arse of a crow , I’d fly over the Emirates tomorrow, And shiiiiit the bastards below below

Where Millwall cringe & Chelsea cry, the Arsenal red flag flying high, the Arsenal Highbury always care to keep the red flag flying there, The Arsenal North Bank never fear, they never run but once a year, But when they hear the Tottenham come, they know it's time for them to run

That bastard nigh on crocked Sonny in an International recently. Might be incentive enough ?

u going Riggs?

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Need a quick reminder who is Arsenal and where in South London do they play?

 

[Nerine]

Basically. If Arsenal play to the best of their abilities, and we play to the best of our abilities, we win.

u going Riggs?

Is that a joke? I'll never be able to get a ticket for that ?.

My best chance is the cup game and getting one on the day.

Going to the pub with my Spurs mate and a few of his lot. Huge game. COYS

 

[SpursD22]

Nervous as usual before the game but I’m still very confident we will win and Kane will score
And it will be another game Aubameyang hasn’t scored against a top 6 team

Arsenal fans keeps talking about Torreira but we got Lamela who’s crazy in a normal game so they should be scared what he would do in a NLD, we got Dier who’s physical and is crazy on derby days, Sissoko physical and is on top form, Aurier physical, Kane loves scoring against them, Alli loves derbies

COYS

 

[Dannyspur]

Can't believe it isn't on Sky or BT Sports. It is one of the biggest games in football. I am going for a hard fought 2-1 to us! COYS!!!!

 

[Dov67]

the only thing i can confidently breakdown, is stress, tension, a near total breakdown and lots of pacing. I hate hate hate these games

assumes the foetal position for the afternoon........COYS!!!
