"The biggest Derby of the season returns...."

...and Spurs are gonna come out the victors.

I actually can't think of a better time to be playing Arsenal, off the back of two 'mares for them, and hopefully, not in full swing.

Granted, out bys aren't having the best run ever, but we're always up for this game. Our older players like King and Keane should get the younger lads gee'd up and players like Robbo are saying they can already sense the importance that this game has for the club and the fans. Always a good sign when your players are psyched up.

Edman is back, hopefully, which should firm up our defence a tad. I am also led to believe that Redknapp should be back, which is a great boost to the team.

Plus, Defoe is amazing, so we shouldn't have any problems :p

2-1 Spurs I reckon. Anyone else?

P.S. sorry if that post was rambled, I need to eat dinner and my hands are freezing, brr

P.P.S. Keller on loan to Southampton, good move

Yeh you probably deserved the win in the end, but we played well, I', happy enough. Wasn't really expecting a win, so 5-4 is a hell of a lot better than something like 3-0.

Exciting game to watch too

What were really need to do now is:

Get rid of Cygan he doesn't give confidence to our defence at all.

Practice set piece defending.

Get someone to cover our defence Gilberto style.

Give Van Persie a go Bergkamp has been average for a while... Henry was alright very bad pass for Sp*rs 4th goal but we if Cygan didn't tuck into Toure who knows? Maybe Sol would of intercepted the ball and cleared it? Yet Henry did get a goal and set up Pires for our 5th.
Reyes wasn't quite at his best either and Freddie was hard working scored a goal but wasn't spectacular really, maybe its time we tried Freddie on the left and Pennant on the right?

Sounds like a great game.

Can't wait to see it on MotD tonight.

I particularly liked Arsenal's tactic of simply giving the ball to Tottenham's back 4, knowing that they'd hand it back on a plate, taking out the need to get through Tottenham's light-weight midfield.

Enjoyable game, a 5-5 would have been better.

Hmmm.

It's called having a tad of faith in your team Ash, except when it's Spurs, there's nothing to have faith in.

Scope, Reyes simply can't handle tough tackles. We didn't foul him, just good, hard tackles and he lay around on the floor, whining.

That's why I said on any of these terms, to satisfy all forum members.

No. I don't want Pennant in our team. I'd prefer Quincy was given a go on the left, Reyes had a run up front and Freddie stayed on the right. Freddie gives us a balance and a bit of drive.

Arsenal's problem at the moment is that there are just too many good decisions to make in the midfield, with Quincy, Robin VP, Fabregas, Reyes, etc. all working for a place.

Our other problem is the fact that we have to make too many bad decisions at the back in terms of covering for Sol.





PS.

GET IN!!!

YET AGAIN THE DARK SIDE HAVE BEEN DEFEATED!
