I cannot wait but at the same time don't want to play this match

Anyway, 3 - 1 us. COYS

 

[johnnyallen]

Biggest leauge game in my 42 years of being a supporter.

Coys

 

[ajspurs]

Not looking forward to needing a shit for 90 minutes...

I'm starting to think it will either be a convincing win for us or a smash and grab for Arsenal. We should win, but when thinking about football in a general typical sense a loss would be no surprise at all.

 

[samspurs92]

Anyone else so fucking buzzing but so nervous too?

 

[not_tenth-again]

This coincides with my farewell party.... I hope I can stay sober enough to watch it. 11pm kick off.... I'm pushing my luck.

Massive, massive game. I'm calling this a must win from a title perspective and a mustn't lose from a top 4 perspective. Fucking nervous, might need a drink... d'oh

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Definite victory for the one and only true North London club. Why do we even call it NLD when only one of the clubs belong in North London.

 

[JonnySpurs]

I dont think I've ever been so torn over a game. Massively excited but probably even more nervous.

Part of me wants to just avoid it altogether. Go and find something to do for 2 hours that makes the time go really fast and then just check the final score and watch the full game back on replay.

Sometimes the stress of watching it is just too much to handle.

I'm a wimp, I know.

Wednesday was a one-off. There is absolutely no way we'll put another performance in like that on Saturday.

A comfortable 2-1. I fancy another full-back to get on the score-sheet, both Rose and Walker have scored in 2-1 wins against Arsenal before.

 

[Grey Fox]

The Sun's back page calling Arsenal legends won't help, if I was Wenger I would pin that up in the dressing room. Fucking hate the Sun

 

[L-man]

The match thread has just made this so much more real, can't believe this game has come around so quickly. Biggest game in what, 25-30 years. Ridiculously nervous now

That could be the biggest contradiction in terms on this thread.

Wenger confirms Cech's out for 4 weeks.

 

[talkshowhost86]

I don't know where to watch this one. I don't have BT so it's a case of either going to the pub, where there is a risk of finding gooner fans, or sitting at home watching text updates and Jeff Stelling.

I'm actually not sure I can cope with the stress of watching it live...this season really is getting a bit too serious!

 

[Larryjanta]

My 4th NLD, not seen us win once (though was there for the 4-4 at the emirates). If we're behind at half time, I'll leave and take my Jonah ass out of there

So is what "squeaky bum time" actually feels like?

Seems like their latest injuries are legitimate and not bluffs like some have been saying.

Lets be honest, they're huge losses for them. We need to approach this like we did last season, swarm all over them from the outset. I just pray we have the energy to deliver the same level of intensity, because if we do I can only see one winner in this, despite the fact that one of their world class attacking players could decide to switch it on at any given minute.

Sanchez and Giroud are struggling but Ozil is the man we must take out of the game - he';s the one he creates the majority of their chances. Stop the supply from him and we'll nullify them effectively.

Awaiting team news is going to be horrendous, if Dembele and Alli are in the starting eleven I'll be confident.

2-1 Spurs.

 

[spursZed]

Going to be a good one surely. Spurs win. COYS

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Should Leicester loose vs. Watford, there is something to be said for going top after a match vs. Arsenal. The gratification would be so immense that even I would have to admit that I'm fully aware that Arsenal is an actual PL football club.

 

[Kingellesar]

Probably one of the biggest games I have ever been to.

Me and dad heading up on train tomorrow morning, can't wait. Buzzing for it but also feeling the nerves!
