Match Threads Arsenal vs Spurs - Match Day 6

[fuzzylogic]

I'm very nervous about this but confident that we will give a good account of ourselves COYS

 

[Nayim60yards]

I don't understand why using the Tottenham manager's first name and the word "ball" as a portmanteau is auto-corrected and yet people can type swear words with gay abandon on here. Strikes me as a load of shit fucking **** bollocks but maybe I'm just being a wanker about it.
Edit Oh I see that **** is a step too far!

I struggle to see why so many are being so negative about this game. Arsenal are a good side who for a large part of last season capitalised on lots of their competitors being all over the place. Well done to them. They have bought pretty well and look a decent unit. However they aren’t blowing every team away this season like some are acting.

We look a much better side this season (compared to last), there is passion and desire in the team, along with no shortage of quality. Basically we also look a decent unit.

Both teams should be well up for the game and both teams will offer up chances. Neither team looks like they are absolutely going to dominate and we should be well matched. It will be a close game imo. Not sure which way it will go.

I just don’t understand the pessimism

I can understand the feeling of hurt all these years of defeats by them. But there are still games after those which we celebrate like hell and be optimistic about. Big Ange is here to bring us some serious good days ahead, even allowing us to dream and let loose. As fans we should all collectively change this mentality and look forward to positive results in the home of Big 6 teams, not just the scum's. No big deal if we lose. But we need to aim for victory in every games, because our gaffer said many times himself he plays to win, and I am with him.

Our mentality has shifted to a belief system that anything is possible… I have huge faith we’ll give them a real test… a draw 2:2

Perhaps it is because a lot of people are annoyed at the overuse of A.n.g.e-ball to describe our coach's tactics. I was thinking about this the other day, considering that they call football 'soccer' Down Under, shouldn't we just be calling his style 'Anger' ?

 

[Gilzeanking]

Well, blow me down SC has kow-towed to some **** who thinks that the word commonly used to describe the football provided by our manager is not allowed.

Disappointed that this dumb extra censorship has been accepted by the powers that be here. There is plenty enough censorship as it is. Sorry, but this truly pathetic.

How About A.ngeball...ah excellent , uncensored. A solution presents itself.

 

[McFlash]

I'm looking forward to this game, it's going to be a good gauge of where we're at.
A positive performance here could do us the world of good and by positive, I'm not talking about spanking them because that's unlikely, just putting in a battling show.

But...imagine if we do get a win?!
Remember, Ange said that we're allowed to dream...

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Was wondering if we would be wearing all white tomorrow as they wear white shorts but looks like under PL rules as long as their is sufficient contrast in the strips of both sides it should be alright, same colour shorts has happened before in other PL matches.

Socks are important too. Our youth team wore blue shorts and socks against them earlier this season so I’d imagine it’d be the same tomorrow.

They can wear red socks (rather than white) when we play at ours.

 

[N'Obody]

Man, I'm going for a win for us. I'm going to dare to dream and enjoy this new team and process we are going through. I get everyone is a bit pessimistic because of our past results there, but I genuinely think we have finally turned a corner in terms of form and how we approach games.

We will give it everything we have and I believe we will edge it because we are now playing with an arrogance which is on the edge of calmness too. The boys are literally a reflection of Ange, confident swagger but with a great calmness.

Yes those lot down the road are in form, but they are also beatable just like we are. We will bring it to them, and I don't think they will see us coming.

I'm confident either way, win or lose, we will leave everything on that pitch tomorrow.

3-2 for me, Son, Maddison and Johnson off the bench with goals for me.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Saliba and Saka.

Saliba can get flustered and if so will give away fouls. Saka will be diving like a flock of seagulls following a trawler.

Its called reverse psychology and managing expectations

 

[Cochise]

I rate our chances higher with Martinelli out injured. My big concern is how alone Bissouma can be in the middle at times. As arrogant as their lot are, NLDs have been home bankers over the years.

Honestly, a point would be a great result.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Trossard a late injury rumor.

(But, given Arsenal's luck, his replacement will score a brace.)

Or just more made up bollocks from their end.

 

[Marauder]

Did you see Kane today? Ah, if only we had him + Ange + the team now and the way we are playing = I would have actually been confident of going to Le Arse's manor and stuffing the twats. As it is, sadly it will be a narrow 1 goal loss tomorrow.

 

[Stamford]

Trossard a late injury rumor.

They do this every year and every year said player starts. Its honestly hilarious

Is GM out though?

Yep but Trossard will make it imo
