Of course I am pretty excited for the North London Derby tomorrow at Shite Hart Lane, hence the title. To make it more interesting, Manchester United has just beaten City 2-1 at Old Trafford. I have never been happy in my life seeing United win except for today. Not letting City have those 3 points means there will a minimum of 5 points difference after tomorrow’s North London Derby. I am pretty confident we gonna improve that point difference to 8 f*king points!
We need to win tomorrow and we will! We are in some great form, Spu*s have been shit and ESR is back. A backline of White, Gabriel, Saliba and Zinchenko.. fully fit midfield of Partey and Xhaka and the front 4 of Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli and Eddie will going to be too much for the Tottenham. Our Captain, Martin, has won the Premier League Player Of The Month and Mikel, the manager of the month for Nov/Dec; Saka and Martinelli has been high on confidence and playing some of the best football of their life; Eddie has been scoring and didn’t let us miss Jesus till now. I’m sure they would be buzzing for a North London Derby and I’m sure they all want to score tomorrow.
On top of that, we will have ESR on bench, who comes as a sub and makes an instant impact. We have a fully fit Tomiyasu and Tierney in case we need them. Midfield has been a concern but I am not in a mood to complain today.
There are couple of things to worry. We haven’t won against Spu*s in our last 8 PL games at Sh*te Hart Lane, having lost 6 and sharing points on other 2 occasions. We need to change that. The other concerning thing is the refereeing and Kane/Son going down like they love the smell of the grass. If you are an Arsenal fan, you know at some point there will a tiny touch from one of our players, a dive from Kane or Son and Referee pointing to the spot. VAR will not find it important to take a look, or even if they do, they will use only couple of angles which lets the penalty stand and they score. Unfortunately, that’s what happens!
Irrespective of it, I am excited for the Derby. A 4.30 PM start for our UK readers (10 PM Indian Standard Time) is a perfect way to end weekend with a win and 8 point lead at the top.
Lets do it, lets thrash them! Lets go for the league.
K’phobe should be a cracker, but Xhaka always worries me.
I wholeheartedly believe that this affair will be decided by MA’s willingness to commit more men in the box, considering the Spurs capacity for generating chances on the counter….of course, this wouldn’t be such a concern if we had found a more viable midfield option than Xhaka, as he can’t logically play in more advanced positions and still provide the requisite amount of defensive cover…persoanlly, I would love to see ESR playing more centrally so that the Spurs can’t double-team our wide side players on a regular basis, as it’s clear there’s a blueprint out there right now…of course, this doesn’t mean that we can’t win the day by staying the course, but it would be savvy on our parts to force opposing defences to play more honestly by displaying some more directness in our play at times
Stepping out to an NLD….. Wearing pink bomber jackets. Fuck me! They look like a group of male geriatrics on a field trip from a Miami retirement home. Twatty Pedro will be saying that they look really smart. GG would have told Adidas to fuck off.
COY rip roaring reds.
Lisping Arry’s first unpunished push of the day. Within 20 fucking seconds
Llorissaynomore
boy do we need a player or two who can score from distance….maybe that was one of the reasons why we paid above the number for Vieira…I can remember a time when Xhaka would have never passed up an opportunity to have a go….of course, not while in our kit, so much, but now he will never miss a chance to pass to someone in a less advantageous position
For me the problem is with the recruiting department. At first it was all defensive signings and we screamed for attackers. Look at who has been recruited and signed in the attack under Edu & Tets? Mudryk was available on the cheap in the summer but it didn’t happen. I am always looking at Napoli who let their players leave if the wage demand is too high or they are rotating their squad very smartly, but that requires eyes on the front line and decent scouts. To me we don’t have that we rather deal with super agents.
Got to love Lloris.
Arsenal up the Spore arse 1-0
Saka
Lovely.
Runnarsonesque. Wahey!
Spurs still look to be a bit of a mess….so long as we don’t gift them a goal, we should be able to secure 3 points…after watching Eddie scuff his first real opportunity, it reminds me of how we miss Jesus in these type of affairs
what an awful goal to give away…much thanks Loris…I really think his days our numbered, as he looks to be a bit of a bag of toys nowadays
Good save by Ramsdale. But what the f the defenders were meditating?
What a save 😉
like some of our movement, both on and off the ball, but a tad worried as Partey seems off…just as I’m writing this Partey sends a screamer off the post…maybe that will get him into the game
Partey is very crucial for forward movement of the ball. Guess he is imperative for the positive game play. Without Partey website and backpass predimimintally
sounds like the whole Mudryk miss had more to do with player wages and potential add-ons than transfer fees….seems like we only offered 50 per, which seems odd considering Eddie makes more than twice that, as a clear second option…maybe we should see if Barca wants to balance their wonky books by selling off one of their front-liners, like Raphy LOL
Ode with a cracker
2-0 by Ode, pass by Saka
Ha ha ha
Life is good 😂
London is red… And guess who started it all, Partey’s pass to Saka.
Fuck Mudryk or whatever the fuck his name is.
By Odin and Thor. Another Norse god!
And romero has picked up a yellow.
Hoopah—totally agree…I wasn’t suggesting that he was some sort of weak link, in fact, quite the contrrary…he’s imperative to our success, which is why it concerned me a bit when he conceded possession cheaply on a couple of occasions
they must have heard my earlier demands for shots from distance, as since that time we’ve had more in this last15 than we’ve had in the last handful of matches…well-deserved 2-0 scoreline
Spurs fatso fans looking thinking of all the arrangements to be made for St. Totteringham feast

Micky Pissflaps can go and fuck himself!
Brilliant first half. Lets put couple more in the nets.

Pantomime dive by Hiedegard. Saliba fell and this cheat flip jumped over him and, of course the Totie Scums appealed.
Half time whistle, no harm done
Ball passing is too damn high in today’s game…😉
TRVL
Odegaard heard you there 🙂
Looked fit for the first 45. Hope Arteta uses his subs well. ESR needs at least 30 minutes to settle into the game.
