Biggest NLD ever?

[Beni]

Obviously every NLD is big, but with what's at stake, is it the biggest ever?

1. Challenging for the title (Obvious)
2. Potentially reducing the gap on Chelsea to 1 point or maintaining it to 4, depending on their result against Everton.
3. It's the last ever NLD at White Hart Lane
4. A win would mathematically mean Arsenal cannot finish above us for the first time in 20 odd years.
5. A Spurs win would mean Arsenal could drop to 7th and 6-7 points off of champions League.
6. Denting Arsenals Champions League qualification and be the 1st time they haven't qualified.

Can't wait . COYS!!

Careful, we're not allowed to mention the NLD. They'll burn you for putting a jinx on us.

Thought last season's was bigger, both teams were going tor the title then.

91 semi final?

 

[mendesstormer]

To me it feels like one of the less significant NLDs of recent seasons. It's all about getting the 3 points, just like in the other 4 games remaining. Not overly concerned about Arsenal, anymore than Man U or Leicester, say.

For us a resounding no. We have other things to focus on,

For them, most probably yes

I think a couple of previous ones where we failed to stop them winning the title at our place were actually bigger. To our shame.

Just another game we have to try and win.

The final league match of the 1971 season they needed a win or a 0-0 draw or something and won it 1-0 to complete the first half of their double. The one a few years ago was a bit more 'meh' as IIRC they had plenty of games after the onre with us to clinch it.

The one where they won the league at the lane? Luckily i was on a flight to cyprus so missed the draw.

Sure, but the sentiment remains the same

It will be bigger if Everton beat Chelsea

 

[Time for Heroes]

Like some others above I don't think it is any bigger than any of our remaining matches.

It is bigger for them as they want to be the team to wreck our title chances, but for us its just 1 of 5 must win games.

After Sanchez's antics last night hopefully it motivates our lads even moreso, bunch of cheating pussies, cringey fucktards Arsenal players and fans alike.

I think the 91 fa cup semi was a much bigger game and led to us winning the fa cup.... Also the 5-1 semi in the league cup where we went on to win the league cup were both bigger. This will just be remembered as another game with little baring, unless we win the league!

 

[thelak]

For us a resounding no. We have other things to focus on,

For them, most probably yes

It's their cup final!

 

[E17yid]

I'll never view this as just another game. It's Arsenal for fucks sake.

 

[Beni]

For me it's the biggest, based on the culmination of the reasons in my initial post. 91 was a memorable occasion as we then went to win the cup. You could say that winning Sunday, and going to win the premiership is a bigger achievement.

I just think with the emotions of last game at white hart lane, and our closest title challenge in my lifetime, Sunday matters more to us to get the 3 points and the emotional sentiments that will get with it.

It's their cup final!

Except that they have a certain game at the end of May ...
