Match Threads Arsenal vs Spurs - Match Day 6

[TheHoddleWaddle]

I'm more nervy about this one than I have been in a while. I think, given the early stages of the process at spurs, games like this, where good sides will exploit a spurs attack will be a measure of what needs improving.

Home advantage win.for me. Unfortunately.

As long as spurs compete and put them under pressure then all good. (At this stage).

I'm not buying into the bullshit about Martinelli being a doubt for the game. Season after season they come up with bullishit in the week and days leading up to the game about injuries only for them to turn up on the day fit as fleas.

Even if it does turn out to be true they still have an effective replacement in Tossard....

Let's not get sucked into their mind games about them not being full strength.

COYS let's give it a real go. Whilst I don't think we should go completely gung ho to leave acres of space down the flanks for them to attack let's not surrender to them meekly by retreating into our shell by letting them overrun us in middle of the park leaving them camped out right in front of our 18 yard line either.

A balance of bravery going forward and common sense is required for this one and by common sense I mean no rash challenges that reduce us to 10 players or leaving ourselves so wide open that they cash in big time.

I hate this one every year. The home game is a different animal for me. But the Emirates? Hate, hate, hate it.

 

[arunspurs]

I just watched those calamitous last 2 NLD defeats - full of 1 in a 100 wonder goal and our calamitous defending...especially from Lloris.

Big game for Vicario today. Rival fans do not rate him. Today is the day he can make a name for himself...good or bad.

All I want is a game, where we dont do suicidal defending and give away goals due to errors

Game plan should be to take the game to Arsenal, playing our usual style...But try to keep it tight as much as possible. With Arse playing midweek game, last 20 minutes could be ours if we stay in the game

I'd appreciate it if you took for 2 years please. Saves having to rejoin next season.

Bank details required.
Trust me, you won't regret it.

I think we'll lose this game as I'm sure most of us so. HOWEVER, they're gonna come at us which will leave alot of space at the back for us to exploit if we can get past the press. We need Bissouma to be on form and forward players to be clinical

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Their fans are already looking ahead to the City game given their joy at the Rodri suspension.

Hope we make them regret dismissing us.

 

[djhotspur]

Thought GM was just a doubt to.

He hasn’t trained all week

 

[djhotspur]

Trossard a late injury rumor.

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

Where did you see this? Nothing on arsemania about it

 

[Tucker]

I’m not at all confident, which isn’t a slight against our team or anything like that. We just don’t often get a result when we go there.

All I’m looking for today is a good showing. Don’t roll over like we have done the last few visits.

 

[mark87]

Never thought I'd be saying this on a Sunday morning yet but can it be Monday please? Just want the horrors of today over.

 

[stewartd]

Johnson to replace Solomon only change. Our pace will expose both White and Zinchenko and if we stop Saka and Martinelli we will give them a hiding, especially if Martinelli doesnt play and Zinchenko goes wandering leaving massive gaps on the left.
COYS

 

[Japhet]

I hope they've underestimated us as much as so many of their moron fans seem to have done. If they think we're anything vaguely resembling the absolute disgrace Conte served up in both games last year they're in for a shock. COYS!!!

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

Sadly, regardless of how we are playing, or have played in the past, even with the NLD record goalscorer playing with us previously, there is an air of inevitability about today's outcome.

Be a good time to give a rude wake up call then.

Just left the hospital after a very stressful day where my new baby girl has arrived just in time for her first North London derby.

Hoping for a much more relaxing day today and if that could extend to us spanking them at their place then even better!

1-0 to us before kickoff then. Congratulations!

 

[Dov67]

Wish I could go to sleep and wake up when it’s over.

I dont tend to get stressed about things, but this game kills me because i hate them so so so much.

COYS!!!!

You're not wrong. It's not a game to look forward to or enjoy. Definitely going nowhere near this match thread today.

 

[Gareth88]

Visiting a friend in Vancouver so up at 6am to watch the mighty Spurs batter those dirty Gooners. COYS

I am not sure if it is still around but there is a bar downtown Th Ox Pub that will show the match it used to have a good turn out for spurs games.

Right, we win this one for the baby.
