Match Thread: North London Derby - Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur [12.45pm SS2]

cson

No match thread yet and it's on in just under 17hrs! :eek:

Anyway; from an Arsenal prospective I think we have enough to beat Spurs. They've been shaky at the back this season and with RVP coming back you'd have to think his unbelieveable stats when he plays with Fabregas can come into play again.

Concerns would be; (i) We won't double mark Bale and (ii) Van Der Vaart is immense atm.

Come on the Gunners!

Spurs haven't won at Arsenal since 1993 and that stat ain't going to change tomorrow. Arsenal to win 3-1.............

shano_88

Im fairly confident about this one. If Spurs had there full team I think it would be alot closer.

In saying that, Bale, Modric and VDV will cause problems.

Very worried about this tomorrow now, Spurs have the players to really hurt us and I have a bad feeling Fab is gonna get himself sent off.

BERBA

Predictions:

Arsenal win

Chamakh does very well

Sagna handles Bale

Gallas gets a goal at some point

I predict the opposite of that.

keano_afc

Always slightly worried when this comes round but I reckon we'll be ok. We should have enough to win this providing we have a bit of discipline. Would like to see Song stay in front of the back 4, we could struggle if he leaves them exposed.

Xavi6

Spurs are paying 5/1 to win. I'm all over that.

everdead.ie

Pav up front Lennon returns JD on the bench

everdead.ie

---

Gomes;
Hutton, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto;
Lennon, Jenas, Modric, Bale;
----Van der Vaart;

---

Pavlyuchenko.

SUBS - Cudicini, Bassong, Corluka, Bentley, Palacios, Defoe, Crouch.

Boskowski

Neither side should be overly confident as there's virtually nothing between them. If anything slightly spurs I'd say since they have a number of on form players. Looking really forward to it.

everdead.ie

Arsenal -
Fabianski;
Sagna, Koscielny, Squillaci, Clichy;
---Song, Denilson,
Nasri, Fabregas, Arshavin;

---

Chamakh.

Szczesny, Rosicky, Djourou, Eboue, Walcott, van Persie, Wilshere.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Unless VDV drops deeper we're gonna get destroyed in the middle..:(

Thanks very much Sir. I just joined you.

By the way...William Gallas is our captain today...:eek:

shano_88

Spurts look a bit lightweight through the middle. Suprised they didnt go with Palacios.

Spurs have not won away against the so called Big Four (RIP) for 68 games.

Not good having Sagna booked early and up against Bale for the net 80

Redzer7

Come on the Gunners!

_Bella_

Close offside call there. Cant really tell from my stream if it was correct but commentator doesn't seem to think so.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Fabregas is enjoying himself.

flahavaj

Spurs miss Huddlestone a lot. Could ruin their season. What a finish by Nasri, he's been sensational this season.
