Tottenham Vs Arsenal: Match Thread

[Chris12]

Arsenal: Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Ramsey, Welbeck, Cazorla, Ozil, Giroud
Subs: Szczesny, Gibbs, Gabriel, Flamini, Rosicky, Walcott, Akpom

That's actually a bit of a filthy attack. A bit scared not going to lie. But I always am.

 

[Shea]

Bentaleb straight back into the starting line up and no Ade in the squad at all

Interesting news - wonder if Ade is disgruntled about the breakdown of the West HAm move

No Sanchez for Arsenal

Great team. Well done, Mauricio.

 

[Maxtremist]

Can't really complain with that team

Nacer Chadli @NChadli · 8m8 minutes ago
Who has a good photo of my celebration at "that stadium we do not speak of" you know, where I shut the crowd up... #THFC#THFCvAFC#NC22

Well, if Chadli scores today, I hope he will not place his finger to his mouth to shut the crowd up, but put his finger to the sky to honor his father.

His second, third, ... goal celebration can be the one he did at the Emirates though

That's actually a bit of a filthy attack. A bit scared not going to lie. But I always am.

I'd be more worried if Walcott was playing (and obviously Sanchez) but it's still a very good attack.

 

[Redfap]

I'm liking the midfield pair and I'm glad wr went with Dier (Fazio was a scary option against arsenals pace and passing) but I'll admit id have preferred Chadli over Lamela. But, still a good side, onward and upward

Off to work. Tried all week to get the day off, but no luck.

Will watch in full when I get back, from behind the couch and through the slits of my grasped fingers of course, with a rack of beer at the ready for either consolation or celebration. Either way, this is a day for intense emotion and I wouldn't have it any other way. What football fans live for. And all for a ball being kicked about on a field for two hours.

Team news in a few. Dunno if I should at the very least check that out first and linger on that the entire day or just have a full disconnect. Argh. Life choices!!!!!


Anyway, will see you lovely chaps later. Have a fun, but safe afternoon. And do please be kind to those goon twats, the fans I mean, they just can't help themselves. The players on the other hand, prepare yourselves for a HurriKane biatch!

COYS!

Strong squad when you can't even get Townsend or Capoue on the bench.

According to the press everyone's gonna boo Ade to today all corners of the pitch... oh no wait?


Like the team, and expect a fast start with a pumped up crowd.


COYS!!!

Now to find a way to pass the time which is gonna pass real slow for the next hour

No Sanchez for Arsenal

Ade could be having trouble with his farmers on the other hand........

 

[CowInAComa]

Yeah, i fancy our chances with those sides. Glad Sanchez and Walcott arent playing/

Would probably have gone with Chadders in place of Lamela, and Benji for one of Bentaleb or Mason.. but it looks like we have picked a bunch of lads who correctly hate the goons.

COYS.

#3-1

Team I wanted us to start with. Minor issue is would have liked townsend on the bench

 

[prawnsandwich]

He has picked a similar team that played away to 4-4-2 WBA to play at home against the Arsenal. Andros is fit and not on the bench. I am gobsmacked.

 

[teok]

Dier to deal with the pace must be poch thinking, strong bench too!

Agreed.

Any one else only get nervous when they announce the teams? I was happily getting on with my morning and all of a sudden I'm shitting it.

COYS!

One last thing, Dier for Fazio is spot on. Arsenal are not physical lumpbags.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

I just let my fellow yids down. Travelling on my own on the Victorian line towards seven sisters and about 150 lagered up gooner inbreds crammed on going mental and singing anti spurs songs.

I smiled and kept my head down and will probably end up on YouTube looking like a scummer.

Embarrassing.

But I valued my face more than my pride for a moment...

Hope I can be forgiven.

 

[spurs_girl_tasha]

Bloody BT sport

 

[moomin]

am a bit confused that townsend wasn't included on the bench. the potential injection of pace would've been nice.
but otherwise the team selects itself, can't complain

 

[CosmicHotspur]

This one is always nerve-wracking but I do have positive vibes. I also want us to win for Cliff Jones who is 80 today and will very likely be at the Lane.
