It's normally at this point of an official match thread I wish defeat upon us in order to get Wenger out

But Tottenham.........fuck, even I'll be cheering us on.

Thanks to Eboue, we will go into this game on a real downer. I can see this being an embarrassing defeat 4-0 to the spuds.

Is there anything else on the list of 'decapation' for this team to acheive this year? :roll:

No sure about the result.
The strange thing is, and I've been saying it for weeks....I think we'll beat manU! :shock:

My mystic powers show lots of sideways passing, disinterested footballers in red and white, Peter Crouch scoring headers, Arsene flapping, Pat Rice sitting, rodders crying :cry:

I would be delighted with a draw. I am convinced we will lose therefore if we could sneak a draw it will help our chances of finishing third and avoiding a CL play off next season.

Sorry to be so negative.

Top of the league, bottom of the league, Championship, Conference... When we meet the 4X2's it's all about winning nothing else matters. I don't care about the rest of the season but win this one game and I'm happy...

**** *word censored*!!!

Exactly, the league doesn't matter when it comes to playing these. This is all about us beating them. The thing is they will come at us, thus leaving us a lot of chance. I can see us doing it.

3-2 to the Arse

Also lets remember form means fuck all in these games. Last year Spurs lost to Pompey after ET, and they beat us.

I will be going down the pub to stand with two spuds and one manure cretins surrounded by about 20 spuds so I expect shite all night but I'm hoping that we can get a draw out of it. What makes me laugh is when they were playing Real at Shite Lane the pub was empty of spuds - fucking cowards but they'll all be in there giving it the large on Wednesday - wish I had a Real flag to wave about!

I think we can win this because S***s probably won't play a limited game that seeks to stifle our passing, block the middle and force us wide. They will go for us and With Djourou in defence, hopefully Sagna back, Szczney in goal, Song there as well, I think we can cope.

It's not opem attacking teams like S**s that we typically struggle against. They won't do what ManU and Chelsea do when they play us, ie go into their shell and just defend.

The only problem I can see is if we bottle it again when victory is in sight. We aren't going to bottle it if its still 0-0 with 10 to go because we hanging onto a draw isn't what we need. But if we are 1-0 late on, watch us concede the draw.

Can see us winning this one by more than one goal.

I really fear for us........this is the one game of the season i truly dread, because I hate them so much and am surrounded by Scum fans in all walks of like who talk the most utter shit you can believe.

That late penalty will hurt us, im not sure we have the ability to bounce back........but lets hope im wrong

WE OWE THEM
