"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

You can't say if it weren't for Naybet you'd have won though. If it weren't for him you could have lost without even scoring.

It was a fantastic game and even my twin brother, who's a gooner, said he almost wanted to see it end 5-5. Would've been the perfect end to a crazy game.

Loads of gifted goals. I was quite pleased to see Cygan on the pitch, but in the end it was our centre backs who were the hopeless ones. Naybet: good on ya for your goal, but please never try carrying the ball out of defense yourself again, m'kay?

I reckon local derbies probably mean more to the fans and rivalries based on being the better team mean more to the players. Local derbies surely mean far less to the players these days when there's rarely any 'local' players in any team...

As somebody who has been to a Southampton vs. Pompey match, I would definitely put it up there.

Villa v. Birmingham's usually pretty gritty too.
