As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Actually, that bugs me a little.
As if we need extra encouragement against the scum! yet if we're noisy and loud, some will say it's because Wenger asked us to be!
I'm almost tempted to groan and sit in silence on Wednesday just to prove a point
I think an ironic chorus of "Arsene, Arsene - give us a song!" might be in order!!
Hopefully Ade will be on song, seeing as he is the new Robert Pires (i.e. the bloke who scores against Sp*rs all the time). 5-1 will do nicely
welcome back Tony. Good to hear from you mate.
Cheers mate. What better time to have a chat with you lot on here than north London derby week?
I get the impression that I'm in the minority who didn't mind Arsene's comments about the atmosphere. After all, he's right! He's only saying what we and all other fans who visit the Grove who say. He hasn't revealed any secrets. The best thing to do would be for us to all heed his call rather than whinge about it!

I'm with you ts, although i have'nt spoke up untill now, but i can understand that people are annoyed at the way it could of been used as ammo against us. Although i dont think it has, as of yet.
i have a horrible feelign about tomorrow night, not a good time to be playing the spuds to be honest, but i hope im wrong and theres people in the squad who know how important this game is - gallas seems to be leading agian and has been relatively impressive so far this season, so fingers crossed!!
Arsène Wenger has revealed that Denilson will be back in the squad to face Tottenham.
The Brazilian had started every Premier League game before Sunday but missed the trip to Upton Park with a back problem. The Arsenal manager also confirmed that Bacary Sagna and Kolo Toure are both fully fit and available for selection on Wednesday night.
"Denilson is back in the group after a little inflammation in the back," said Wenger at Tuesday's pre-match press conference.
"Sagna was back in the group at West Ham and Kolo is back too but you will have to wait and see the selection tomorrow night."
I think if Denilson played he'd get knock about in midfield. This is a game you need someone tough. and I don't think Song is the man either.
I wouldn't mind playing the same formation when we played Fenebache with Cesc and Denilson supported by Diaby behind Ade.
Problem is thats a good for tough away performances but we should be looking to get at Sp*ds
I'd stick with the same team that started against the Spammers except swapping Ade for Bendtner and Eboue for (if fit) Sagna.
