Spurs v Arsenal -- the North London derby -- 12.45pm Saturday

Incredible that Welbeck and Monreal have gotten yellows whilst Mason has nothing.

Bobby Baccala

Cazorla playing muck today, don't know where his head is

And Michael Owen is a disaster

Cue offside onside debate.

Hardly say loosing the plot. There are soft yellows and mistakes in every game. Arsenal got a 50/50 call with the offside so it's pretty even.

So hard to get used to this absorb/counter style from Arsenal. I'm a big advocate of it but it ain't easy on the nerves. Hopefully Spurs will start running out of steam by 60 and maybe then we can apply a bit of pressure in return.

They sure have.

Arsenal well beaten in midfield that first half. Spurs not allowing Cazorla or Ozil any space at all. A bit lucky to be in front tbh.

I would love if he was offside ... and then we got a dubious penalty ... and then Ramsey scores with a hand of god.

Wrong again, but keep it up, we are entertained by your hate of arsenal as always.

That wasn't even close to a 50/50 call.

Just enough space to score…

Ref overall been decent, just conned by two dives in fairness.

Doesn't excuse him giving two similar fouls against Mason without giving a yellow.

Kiith

Are people honestly saying Rose dived for Welbeck's yellow? Seriously, what are you watching? May have been soft, but he was taken out by Welbeck.

Mason shouldve been booked.

That graphic to show the offside line looked a bit off compared to the cut of the grass.

yipeeeee

Seriously that black line they have isn't following the line of the pitch.

I have re watched it 5 times and he is 100% onside.

Didn't look offside to me, line they showed on BT looked crooked to me.

Only saw the last 20 minutes but the referee must've missed his flight to the ACON.

Happy to see the solidity, starting to be a bit of a pattern, long may it continue.

It would have been an impressive dive to make hit legs go in that direction. The previous yellow was a dive, that one wasn't.

Knew I wasn't imagining it.

What a pathetic station bt is.

Kiith

It was very close, but the advantage has to go to the attacker.

Ah, fair enough. Couldn't understand it if we were talking about the Rose one.

That offside line looked bizarre, what are they playing at? :pac:

I may have my tin foil hat on but I sense a huge arsenal hatred with bt.

Remember the adds of the chelsea and Liverpool games.

Santi and Welbeck are giving the ball away a lot.
Can see Theo coming on for Danny as he's booked.
They need to retain it better in the second half.
Spurs will tire as the game goes on.

Well no he was offside wasn't he. Impossible to call though.

Guess who drew the line

5starpool

Reasonably comfortable so far for Arsenal. I'd like to see a draw in this game personally.

5starpool

Welbeck needs to be careful, but there wasn't a lot in that push. I'm glad the ref laughed it off anyhow.

Rose is taking the piss.

Need Theo on instead as Danny is just one foul / dive away from a red.

niallo27

Poor enough old game. Early kick offs are always poor.

Agreed

Soups123

The softest collections of yellows I've seen. Awful referring yet another Arsenal can't tackle ref

LuckyGent88

Such a harsh yellow. Neither of them went for the ball!!

bad2dabone

Jaysus, yellow for that! Haha

emmetlego

Probably the most yellow of the 3 so far...

efb

Props to Spurs for the pride flag!

yipeeeee

Ah but he's having a good game.

Mickeroo

Been coming for a while that.

Harry Palmr

Whay-hey!

yipeeeee

Was coming, we have been poor.

Will I Amnt

Well that was coming.

Kiith

Get in there!! Kane!!

5starpool

Blow it up now ref.

LuckyGent88

Deserved goal. Have been the better team.

efb

Harry Kane urgh

GavRedKing

The Arsenal fan gets a goal against his boyhood club.

Osmosis Jones

Sick of Kane at this stage, the lad can't stop scoring. Hopefully it stays this way.
