Tough game tomorrow against the spuds at the emirates. Hoping for a home win to keep up with the leading pack.

I think Arsenal will win this. Spurs are bit flakey 'innit?

Arsenal are the masters of being flaky

Debating whether or not to lump heavily on Spurs double chance. Arsenal missing a rake of players and 5/6 is indeed very tempting. Spurs are missing a few too though right?

I'd wait until the teams are announced.

Kylo Ren

Based on all the Spurs injuries I'll have to go with Arsenal.

cson

We've a tonne of injuries and we're in shocking form, we'll have it tough to get a result today I fear.

That being said; it was similar circumstances back in Feb and we got off to the worst possible start there and still managed to flog them 5-2.

Come on you Spurs!!!!!!!!!!

double GG

IvySlayer

Both strikers starting for Spurs? :O

efb

Come on Arsenal!

Marty McFly

Hopefully this can be like last year and spur Arsenal on to go on a good run.

Nervous about todays game Arsenal to need to get some form back and start clicking again, especially Podolski and Cazorla. Verm at LB scares me, get the finger out Wenger and purchase a decent non injury prone LB in January.

Jamie Redknapp is an idiot. He really hasn't a clue.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Strong arsenal team in the end

What did he say now?

Love Jack's energy.

Hate to see us pass the ball back to any of our keepers. I'm nearly expecting them to mess it up.

Supposedly this is the biggest game Lloris has played in.

SDTimeout

Get the feeling that Podolski lives for these types of games. Emotion filled games, derbies.

COME ON ARSENAL!!!!

Sergio

Hate Adebayor!

Amazing insight so far:

No team wants to lose this one

Game is too big for Lloris to start this

Defoe is in the form of his life

433 is the modern way to play football

Strange decision by AVB to play Lloris ahead of Friedel. Lloris is a decent keeper, but Friedel has been in fine form this season and of all the games to make this decision in, surely you'd want the stability and consistancy of Friedel in a North London derby. It'll be interesting to see how Lloris gets on today in this particular fixture.

Ade is putting in a good shift so far .

G.K.

Adebayor 1-0

IvySlayer

Adebayor!!

klose

Really like spurs kit!

SantryRed

Jesus Christ Mertesacker. that was awful.

efb

Damn

Fuzzy_Dunlop

What on earth was Mertesacker playing at going so far forward there? Szczeseny was unlucky there, good initial save.

Jax Teller

Wilshire seems a lot dirtier since he came back .

****ing pathetic stuff again.

That wasn't even a foul :rolleyes:

SantryRed

I still can't get over the goal. What was Mertesacker thinking? Who plays Defoe that tight? Asking for trouble.

tayto lover

Arsenal defence = shambles.

It was a foul by Podolski.

niallo27

Shocking start by arsenal, no heart about them yet.

Sergio

Mert caught too far up the pitch again and not quick enough to chase back ffs!

efb

Did Tyler just say 'Harrry's just picked a team... :-o

Yeah I don't understand it. Mertesacker is usually so intelligent in his defending.

Mr.Crinklewood

Arsenal`s defence looks like independent blobs of jelly being fired around a pinball machine.

G.K.

Adebayor off

klose

Haha

IvySlayer

Adebayor off!!

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Adebayor off! Awful tackle.

MagicMarker

Clear red card.

Foolish.

Silly boy
