*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

[milo]

Me too. I’ve had this nagging, horrible feeling all week. The cards are stacked too heavily in our favour. This is where we come into our own and blow it.

Then again, maybe this is a purely emotional defence mechanism built up by decades of disappointment. If I expect defeat, I can’t be too upset afterwards...right?

It's time to man up Deano

fudge that @milo, I’d much rather throw accusations of ‘weak mentality’ at pro footballers who’ve sacrificed a good deal of their lives to get to where they are while I brick myself worrying about the game.

I think the correct term for it is “projecting”.

I thought he looked quite fetching in the pink two-piece ?

Been resigned to the fact we're gonna scrape a 1-1 draw all week, but now nerves are kicking in.

Seeing how excited the Chelsea fans have been tonight is making me very excited about tomorrow
The thousand of us in the ground I hope will sing as loud as possible, no happy clappers please

As much as it would help the team for the fans to be loud, it's probably the last thing you want in terms of staying safe. And I was baffled why they had them so close to each other and some stands were completely empty.

Nerves are kicking in well and proper now. So glad Hugo will be between the sticks.

The fear is beginning to tap on my shoulder and clutch my stomach. Watching CHelsea, City and Man Utd stroll to routine wins yesterday did not help.

No Ndombele is a loss

 

[milo]

That's the cost of having to play him on Thursday

 

[nayenezgani]

Ahh brick where's Ntumbelly? Damn that's a big loss. Time to step up Gio.

 

[Legohamster]

Time for Lo Celso to step up

 

[Lemonade Money]

Is that the goons strongest side?

 

[nayenezgani]

No Dele on the bench either, shame as he'd be up for it.

 

[Yiddo]

Willian always plays well against us.

 

[Baleforce]

No Ndombele is a loss

Lamela too.

 

[Yiddo]

Do they actually have anyone in their team that know what a North London Derby means? Atleast We have Kane, Lloris, Dier and Toby who will know what it means to get a win against this lot.

Look very weak at the back but Partey plays despite, apparently, being out for the next few weeks.

The sooner that crap goes away the better imo.

Play each team for the players they have, not the shirt they wear, distraction doesn’t help the superior team.

Ffs, Where's Ndombele? Why did we play him Thursday?
