El Classico, North London Style

Nasri! Brilliant strike.

Another 4-5 on the cards.

What a strike ! Nasri.

How many minutes until the equaliser. I'm unusually optimistic today, so I'm going for four.

Nasri in a central position, and he scores

Diaby having a terrible match and then makes a leg breaker challenge. Please just put him out of my misery ref.

And Atkinson even didn't stop the game

ooooooooooooooh

walcott nearly!

uh oh.

1-3

RVP!!! Fine crosses from Sagna and Walcott. Still don't trust them to win this!

Arsenal comfortably in the lead

Who wants to predict what will happen next ?

Alright well hope Spurs can come back. I'm off to watch the Copa del Rey final.

VAN PERSIE !!!!

Poor defending there by Spurs.

Walcott's much improved technique fuck the haters. Especially those Adedonkey lovers .

Bale just got owned

Nasty clash. Not sure how Sczcesny can be booed for that. Clearly got the ball first and Bale smashed into him. Just part of the game.

And there is one for Spurs. Good shot from Huddlestone. Shit clearance from Arsenal as per usual.

THUDD

Huddlestone makes it 2-3 with a drilled effort.

Makings of another classic this.

Bale fouls Sczezny twice and gets off the worst both times. Dickhead.

Wilshere wouldn't have scored that goal.

I think that is true, Saints - but given Walcott's performance tonight, his goal and assist increasing his statistical superiority over Bale in the Premier League this season, is it equally fair to suggest Walcott POTY?

Entertaining half. This really could go either way. I think Arsenal have been the better team for most of the half, but that doesn't mean much when you defend as badly as we do. Should be fun for the neutrals in the second half.

We all know that Walcott has great pace and we all know that, apart from rare moments like the cross to RVP, he lacks talent but his composure is wonderful - that 1st goal was like the Michael Owen of 1998.


Ray Wilkins' offside call for VDV's goal

WHAT A GAME !!!!!

Statistics mean nothing. Arshavin is statistically one of the best players in the league, and he's shit for 89 minutes a game, 5 games out of 6.

That said, to be fair to the lad, Walchart has played well this season and is a more consistent threat for Arsenal than the aforementioned Commie, let alone the hugely overrated Lesbian. Had Walchart won YPOTY, I wouldn't have had much of a problem with it. He's still not particularly suited to international football and maybe never will be, but in the Premiership he is turning into quite an effective player.

I hope we defend better in the second half.

Poor from us first half. First time pav and crouch have played together since start of the season and Arry decides today is the day to play them both

If anyone had ANY doubts about why lennon is so important to us, today is it. Our midfield shape is all over the place with VDV on the right and wandering about wherever he chooses.

We can play better than this. Hopefully we will second half. Arsenal have hardly been brilliant either- it's good for the neutral given neither team looks tactically drilled. Take off one of pav or crouch, move VDV upfront and bring on Lennon and we can win this. Cliché is already on a yellow, he's their liability

Bale and Corluka off, Lennon and Kaboul on.

Noah und der Bale: Surely you'd keep Crouch on. You haven't got a great foothold in the game yet, but nearly all your threat has come from booting it long to Crouch. He has won everything (usually unchallenged).

It's not just those moments though. Watch his first touch now, its so much more improved than before and its more reliable as well. He's no longer a liablity for our passing game.

Just to increase the risk of impending disaster Arsenal are aiming to get all key defensive players booked as early as possible in this half.
