Quick start, press like never before, keep Ozil quiet, and put pressure on the two donkeys playing at CB for them. Have they played much together? Koscielny is massive miss for them. Coys.

Are we really back there? Arsenal completely dominated that game, not in possession, stats or anything like that, but in who truly controlled the match. They had a perfect game plan and executed it very well. Arsenal bossed the match from start to finish. (And yes, we are talking about the same match). It's been a myth ever since that we battered them. They were in cruise control, just kicked back and enjoyed the ride really.
In fact, it's a favourite Wenger strategy against us, to have his players not spend any energy, playing a rigid formation to nick it at the end of the day. It's plausible that they would try the same even today.
2nd half that game was all Spurs, we just couldn't score, remember Chadli rounding Chezny and shot was blocked on line.

Who said?

"I was impressed. Tottenham weren’t at their best, but it was noticeable that everybody there was as one, the crowd, the team, the manager.


"Nobody moaned or criticised. You could sense the belief and then the manager made a change, Alli came on and all of a sudden they scored and the job was done.


"At Tottenham they believe in that team for the first time. The Arsenal fans are not sure about theirs."


Jose Dominguez is the clue.


It was Martin Keown!

Time dragging?

Went to bed at 3:30am and been awake since 6:30am, one of those drunk too much to sleep nights. Spent 5hrs pissing about wasting time waiting for the match!

My stomach is not enjoying these nerves...
