Reckon we'll scrape a draw and it'll leave us set up to limp into 4th.

Ol' Donie

I'll take a draw today for sure.

Shame though.
Expect more of the same shyte.

It pisses me off that we scraped together 3 wins while playing poorly and now the pressure is off Wenger. Fans are letting themselves down.


I can see Spurs ripping us a new one today.

Sticking with 3 at the back, and Giroud up front.

Ramsey WTF !!!

wandatowell

Both teams playing the same formation.

Not many Arsenal players would get into that Spurs team.

They will destroy us with 3 at the back.

Draw not a bad result either

tayto lover

Interesting line-out.
Ramsey and Gibbs don't inspire me with having much heart for a battle but maybe they'll surprise me.
Kos was only rated 60/40 to start so we might be weakened at the back.

Is Elneny injured?

I would use a lot of things to describe Ramsey. Lacking heart isn't one them.

Yeah maybe a bad word for him in fairness to him.

Pochettino very respectful there having nice chat with Wenger wishing him luck.
This could be a cracking derby!

Nice passage of play until Sanchez gets the ball

pudzey101

Was tempted to throw 50 quid on a Xhaka Red , hope he keeps the head cool today .

Some sloppy ****e there by arsenal spurs will score

Ox overcommitted on Son. Just needed to keep tight to him.

Oxo all over the place.
Giroud offering nothing so far.

Gabriel is ****e.

wandatowell

Fcuk all pace in the Arsenal team.

Royale with Cheese

Ramsey shows an incredibly lack of awareness when he's in those positions on the edge of the box. If you're going to shoot put your fúcking foot through it, because if you tap it like that it can very easily end up in a counter attack. Between that and taking too long on the ball when over half the team are in front of him he's caused quite a few breakaways over the past few seasons.

**** OFF RAMSEY YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A PLAYER.

Not surprising.
Sanchez might save us today as everyone thinks he's a wimp!

tayto lover

I'd take Giroud off and put Walcott on. Push Sanchez into CF. No pace in the team.

wandatowell

Against Leicester I was asking for Giroud to be on so we could play off him but now he starts and we look just as lost as we always do. Too many rubbish players stinking the club out.

There is a lot to be said about the fans and their passion.
Spurs are playing as intense as the atmosphere around them.
Arsenal can't do that at home, even without the booing, the fans just don't pressure the players into being more committed

Sanchez better score a goal or two, because he is toxic. We can't keep possession, and he's guaranteed to give the ball away every time he has it.

It pisses me off when some Arsenal players who don't score as often get upset when Sanchez has a worthwhile shot.

marvin80

Surprised Spurs haven't scored yet - look really dangerous anytime they go forward

Good half!
We didn't concede

What's that no-mark Xhaka at heading it to Vertongen instead of clearing the ****ing ball?

We can still do this. They had a couple of good chances, one from a lucky deflection. That haven't caused us a huge amount of problems for the amount of possession they've had in our half.

Fancy Theo to come on off the bench and nab one.

tayto lover

We were all over the shop in that first half. Very poor performance yet we're still in it. Spurs should have had two.

wandatowell

Anybody spot Ozil yet?

I thought we would be 2-0 down by HT.
I expect spurs to keep up this intensity, we need changes and Wenger to make himself known in the dressing room.

Arne_Saknussem

Spurs slightly better but nothing great, 2 deflected shots gave them the best 2 chances in the game.

Giroud's lack of mobility a problem, Welbeck on for him in the second half hopefully.

Marcus Antonius

Should be down by a goal or two so I'll take the draw at half time. Ozil has to be taken off with either Welbeck or Walcott coming on for him and Xhaka has to be replaced with Elneny fot me also. He is just looking for a card. We need a result today, especially with the two Manchester teams dropping points. Dunno why I do this to myself mind you, thinking we've a chance of forth again!

Good ball by Sanchez.
Giroud can't get near anything

Sanchez just needed to put that across the box first time with his left foot. Cut back onto your right, and wait for their defence to get in place. Frustrating.

There it is.

tayto lover

What a feckin timid shower of defenders we have. Shameful defending.

Bobby Baccala

Undone by a throw in

wandatowell

Weve gone full Arsenal.

Here we go.

Peno now

Bobby Baccala

Ah fùck off

tayto lover

Wenger's legacy is dead.

wandatowell

Hopefully this will get the blood back into the Wenger Out brigade.
