Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal OMT

[Papercut]

I think we should have the mental egde. The goons are mentally down at the moment - and for us to score first will knock them quite hard. On the other hand, we've also comeback against them in the past so surely this will also play on their minds?

got to start with vdv - he loves playing them! :d

major fitness fears!

all that goes out the window on derby day

ps i hope we start with saha and ade up top.. just put them to the sword from minute one ..

I disagree. We need some bodies in the middle and I would rather bring on Saha with twenty minutes to go if we are chasing the game. VdV is a big game player and (if fit) he needs to start today.

Think we're gonna get done over today sadly.

I hope this is part of your pre-match ritual where you always say this so we actually do the exact opposite

 

[Spaceman]

who are they likely to have at the back?

 

[diego_maradona]

who are they likely to have at the back?

Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs/Jenkinson

Sky are saying King is a doubt on the tickertape, is that just a template they use for Spurs team news or genuine?

Is that their best back 4?

Is that their best back 4?

Missing mertesacker...

 

[Dicko]

But Vermaelen and Koscielny are better than him surely!?

 

[Rossi22]

That's their best back 4 minus arguably Santos.

Why have our odds lengthened quite a bit today? We've gone from being 2.96 on Betfair to over 3.15! Suggests either bad team news or people have just decided that it's inevitable that Arsenal will end their slump with a win over us... ?

 

[El Guepardo]

Just seen that the odds for us winning a half is 1.83, surely that's a decent bet?

 

[Yossarian]

Early Sunday roast followed by Spurs running riot at The Effeminates.

2 goal margin of victory minimum.

COYS!

We're 2.87 on bet365...

Arsenal are 2.40.

Anyway forget betting, time to show them whose boss!

We were 3.25 at a lot of places this morning, have dropped a bit since, best price is 3.13 at BetVictor.

I've put a few bets on including 3 - 1 Spurs + Van Persie 1st goal scorer @ 100 - 1
