I can see Spurs causing Arse trouble today but I'm stil going to go for a narrow Arsenal win

Glad Keano and Berby are starting.

Eboue, Toure, Djourou, Clichy

Spurs should certainly be able to get some change out of that defence. Suprised they've dropped Jenas for Tainio though.

Eboue>>> G Neville

Zokora will eat fabrecrap.

At diving?

Jenas isn't match fit enough, plus the fact it will be a high-tempo match, so having Tainio in the line-up was the correct decision.

I feel this will be a fired-up arsenal today, after media pounding they got, we need to keep our composure and defend well for the first 20 mins, because they will come at us with all Guns Blazing.

Having Keane instead of Defoe is also a good decision, because we need someone to drop deep and help out the midfield coz of Arsenal playing a 4-5-1/4-3-3 formation.

Here's to a Spurs victory...

Didn't realise about Jenas.

All the best in the game.

Good old Alan Green, slagging off the Larsson signing before the Arsenal-Tottenham game. If he didn't have Man U to hate then he really wouldn't have much to say about football.


Funny that he had to resort to 'this isn't a title-winning signing', something none of us know until the guy actually plays for Man U. Also funny that he mentioned Torres and Villa, and declared that Man U 'clearly' don't have the money for them. Given the prices quoted, I wouldn't buy either of those two either.

Yeah, heard that, Green hates Utd, bums Le arse.

Plenty of empty seats at the easyjet, as usual. The fans must be finishing the guardian before they get in.

1-0 arse!

Adebayou're shit scores an offside goal.

That was offside.

Eboue = Shameful.

Oh, Josh, I think we are winning the game, one to none, isn't this splendid? Lets celebrate with a a pint of beer in a public house, so proletarian.

Why, that would be dandy, dear Rowan. Go on, the Gunners! Go on!

Very disappointed in spurs.

Pen for Arsenal

scored, Gilberto 2-0

Good tackle. pen. goal. Disgrace[/b]

Is Poll the worst ref in the game?

Fantastic!

This is bollocks. Offside goal, a well dodgy penalty and a Rosicky didn't even get a yellow for his tackle on Dawson.

poor reffing, but Arenal deserve the lead (plus its helping my prem predictions )
