So our next 3 league fixtures see us playing in 3 massive London derbies against the teams that we all love to beat and subsequently hate losing too.

So here is my question, if we are able to take 6 out of 9 points which one of the 3 teams could you just about bear losing too?

I'd like to beat Arse and Chelsea more than West Ham, so West Ham.

It's an impossible question. A bit like being asked if you want to be shot or stabbed.

This is more tempting, would keep our unbeaten record going too.


However, I think we'll get beaten at the Emirates. If we bounced back with 6 points against Wham and Chelsea I'd be happy, so I'll take that option.

I care least about winning against West Ham, I care least about losing to Chelsea. I don't think West Ham will be a threat come the end of the season, whereas Chelsea might. So West Ham for me.

I'd be quite happy coming away from the Emirates with a point, the way they're playing right now.

Chelsea will no doubt get their shit together in time for us. But I'd really love it to beat them again.

West Ham... meh.

Voted arsenal. Fuck the rivalry, i think it would be best to kill chelsea and stay above west ham.
I will get abuse from a lot of mates but i can live with that if we get top 4.

I hate west ham more than i hate arsenal aswell.

Arsenal are out of touch for us this season - so it's a no brainier - beat the 2 who matter (in terms of who we're realisticly competing with) - Chejsea & Wham

Westham are playing way above their ability so I want to beat them.

Everyman and their dog are beating chelsea so it just be our luck to lose wouldn't it. I want to beat them.

I hate the goons as much as the next person but they are playing well at the mo so wouldn't be too down if we lost.

I'm not that bothered……….

What I mean is, what with the ebb and flow of footballing fortunes we're always going to lose some of these games so I don't get too worked up about it any more. I don't get the life affecting rage that some people seem to get. Not since I got a cat to kick (It thinks its name is 'fucking tottenham' as that's all it hears as I drop kick it down the garden)

If we come through won one, lost one and drawn one, that'd be OK. Don't lose to the scum though

Goons seem to have hit some form, nobody knows which west ham will turn up, chelsea look like utter shit (lets hope this continues).

times are changing I guess - can remember the day when no Spurs fan would ever be ok about losing to Arsenal under any circumstances and I will always be in that bracket.
I think its just different if you actually live in North London, you get the intensity of the rivalry on a daily basis.

I can handle a defeat against arsenal and Chelsea. West Ham, id rather be smacked in the mouth by mike tyson than have those two bob ****s win against us.

I think a lot of this is to do with where you live etc aswell.

Who said anyone would be ok with it?
If a loss against arsenal but other results meant that would win us the league you wouldn't take it?

I live in camden and arsenal edge us in the amount of fans. But on the whole they're not too bad. But i worked with a lot of west ham fans and they were all knuckle dragging idiots like their chairwoman who i detest as well as their porn baron owners.

I don't really know any arsenal fans. All Tottenham and west ham here. Both are knuckle draggers but we do it with class

that wasn't the question asked but to answer you I would accept it, as any sane person would, but I wouldn't want us to or be happy about ever losing to them whatever the circumstance.
Given your answer after just 11/12 games that you would rather lose to them than Chelsea or West Ham you obviously dont see the rivalry as important, and thats fine its just very different from that of our history/heritage

The question is not 'who would you be happy to lose to?' it's 'who could you handle a defeat to?'. I'm sure many expect a loss at the Emirates, whereas we should win the other two. A logical brain would choose Arsenal. I absolutely hate all 3, so can't choose.
