North London Derby: Arsenal vs Spurs 5.30

shano_88

Expected lineups.

Arsenal: Schezney, Chambers, Mert, Kos, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Sanchez, Ozil, Welbeck.

Tottenham: Lloris, Dier, Vertonghen, Kaboul, Rose, Dembele, Capoue, Chadli, Erikson, Lamela, Adebayor.


Arsenal have won all 3 North London Derbies without conceding a goal last season and hopefully they can make that 4 wins in a row. Im expecting a good game with plenty of goalscoring opportunities.

3-1 to Arsenal

Arsenal slowly getting to grips with themselves this season.
Should be a good one, im looking for another 5-2 to the gunners.

Bobby Baccala

Hoping for 4-0 to the arsenal with goals from sanchez, ramsey and welbeck.

Spurs have been playing absolutely gash so far, should steamroll them!

GavRedKing

3-0 Arsenal.

Spurs fan here and on form Im predicting a hiding as our team of wimps fold early on..... id bite your hand off for a nil-nil but realistically its gonna end 5nil to arsenal and spurs with not 1 shot on target:o

The max for Spurs would be a draw I'd feel.

Arsenal very good at home in the league.

Think this game will be a lot tougher than a few predicted, 2-1 to the Arse.

Adebayor to be the man to watch this evening

Soups123

Agree tight game 2 -1 to Arsenal

Welbeck with atleast one

Disappointed to see Sanchez not starting, seems an odd decision.

There must be a reason. Would love to know it.

AdamD

How have we possibly got the first yellow in this?!

AdamD

And that's not a yellow? Nice consistency.

tayto lover

Corners are useless for us. We are more likely to concede from one of our corners than they are.

Sacksian

Welbeck has been very good so far.

AdamD

Difference between that and Lamelas?

Stupid stuff from Wilshere.

Sacksian

And for Arsenal's possession-based system, I think Cazorla is more important than Wilshere - certainly combines with Ozil and Ramsey a lot better.

Not questioning Wilshere's ability at all, it's just in terms of his decision-making and how he shows for the ball.

tayto lover

We are going to get caught on the break.
Far too high a line again.

It generally works against the smaller teams so we might get some joy out of it today.

Arteta off, and Flamini on. I wonder who's going to get the next yellow.

Meh.

Nailed on pen !

I've had paper cuts that hurt for longer.

AdamD

Get Sanchez against Rose

Obviously no-one's ever told Welbeck to go to the ball.

davycc

sh1te from ade there strolling through the half

davycc

so close to a BFG own goal

kronsington

Arsenal defence looking a bit shaky again

davycc

chadli get your fooking eyes open and head up:mad:

davycc

ramsey injured?

AdamD

Mert has been at sea all game

No Sanchez?!

wandatowell

spuds with the better half chances. Both teams must improve after the half time cuppa

Need a big performance from Wilshere and Flamini now.

davycc

adebayour had an actual shot at goal:rolleyes::D

Quazzie

Jesus, what does Alexis have to do to get a game.

Maybe Wenger has him penciled in for his usual 72nd minute substitution and is afraid to change it

greendom

Spurs on top for the last 10 minutes or so. Feel that losing Arteta and then Ramsey (feck) has really disrupted our play. Hopefully we can get re-organised at half time and go back to dominating the game.

He was never going to come on for Arteta and Cazorla deserves his chance as well. Shows the strength in depth of our attacking midfielders which is a big plus.

Having a mare myself, I'm the only gooner in the pub I'm in, a number of spurs fans around me, barman ignoring me, think I walked into the wrong establishment. I got durty looks when I burst out laughing at chadlis miss.

blueser

Not been a great game so far.Too much tension in derby games generally for there to be much free flowing football.

Nope just a local near me. Anyhow, game on. Come on you gunners!

davycc

nice early cross by mason there

duffman13

Boring game, the old cliché of it needs a goal! I actually thought Spurs would be better under Poch!

greendom

jesus our corner taking gets worse and worse

Adamocovic

I've been watching the hurling, whats the game been like? Which team has been on top?

wandatowell

Good opening to the second half for Arsenal
