The North London Derby : Arsenal vs Spurs (Pre/Dur/Post)
-
Previewing the biggest North London derby since 1971.
Arsenal has to win this fixture in order to remain in the chase for 4th place.
Pre match discussion, play by play commentary and post-match whinging are most welcome.
Let's kick the scum and frankly, Spurs in the Champions League looks comical.
Let's welcome Arsenal's latest signing, The Gunner Squirrel. Signed for a undisclosed amount of nuts.

actually...in my FM...spurs are always challenging in the league and champion's league too...
i find that very amusing...
well...it is the last north london derby at highbury...hope gunners can produce one glorious moment against their hated neighbours... -
haha send the squirrel to distract robinson...
this match might not be tat nice to watch cos since wenger can put a half strength against manu he will probably follow for this one cos he is very focus on UCL which is something he never won... can expect a draw or even spurs win...
probably line up:
mad german
Djourou toure senderos flamini
hleb diaby gilberto reyes
bergkamp van persie -
That's a good line-up, except i would throw hold hleb and bergkamp and leave henry out of the starting line-up and once the gunners soak up enough pressure, throw on a triple substitution in henry-bergkamp-hleb to switch to immediate attack and unbalance the spurs game.Originally posted by BrUtUs:haha send the squirrel to distract robinson...

You know something , this reminds me of Everton and Liverpool situation last season. Everton was in pole position and even through Liverpool won 2-1 against Everton at Anfield , Everton managed to hang on for the 4th spot. But this season it's Spurs and Arsenal , almost the exact same scenario. I believe it's all up to Arsenal now. Win the rest of the games , they will get the 4th spot.

i think arsenal will win this..
-
Diaby and Gilberto seems to be the preferred pairing.

the newest Arsenal signing, Gunner Squirrel. -

-
Kickoff
Adebayor, Van Persie

Flamini,Toure,Senderos,Djourou. -
Teemo vs Flamini for pace on the left.

Aaron Lennon's shot sliced wide of Lehmann's far post.

Lehmann blocks a shot with his nose

Arsenal pegged back by Spurs in the 1st half, Carrick having weaved past Djourou and Toure, then rounded Lehmann and hit the side netting. Last Spurs attack in the last min of the half.
Gunners had a 2 minute spell of pressure though, at the 43rd min point.
Would Wenger play Henry or Fabregas, or will he stick with Bergkamp coming on instead in the 2nd half?Martin Jol would be thinking the same thing too. -
robbie just scored.....!!!!!!!wth!!!!!!!
-
henry equalised with a sublime finish...
-
yeah!!!go gunners!!!!!!.......hope can finish fourth this season..
-
We are still four points behind with a game in hand. Even if we win all our last 4 matches we'll be 1 point behind. Guess we either hope spurs lose or draw one match and then we're safeor go all out with trying to win the CL.
PS: Fcuk davids. The red card was so deservedly given. -
davids didn't want to put it out and took advantage of the 2 fellas down to stroll into the big big hole where the 2 players down would be... passed it to robbie keane who scored..
not the first time davids did this...
then he got sent off for more bad play..
the guy thinks he's playing footbrawl sometimes...
great piece of skill by henry (as always) from the persistence of adabayoir or whatever his name is...
if spurs loses the final games they have, it'll be karma.. -
That scum needs a lesson in sportsmanship.

sian 1/2! wat a letdown.
cannot blame cos gunners playing so much matches. -
i think its a fair result..its not davids fault for not continuing with play..because he wasnt the one who won the ball..there was like 2 passes player around before the ball got to davids..
heck u people only blamed davids for the whole incident cause he made the telling pass,but he was way infront of the whole incident..
i think it was defoe who passed it to him,if there ever was a victim needed for you people to put the blame on,it would have been defoe or the guy who won the loose ball after the clash..
adebayor fouled staleri but it was allowed..fair..
davids got sent off after pires fouled him..what more do you people want? -
