Having just seen the injury news I have to admit to being a little less confident about Sunday. With Koscielny, Vermaelen, Djoruou, Squilachi all looking like they are missing it is likely that Song will have to fill in again in central defence, with Frimpong hanging onto the defensive midfield role.

with that makeshift defence we will admittedly conceed goals. Maybe a 2-2 is the best we can get from Sunday, move forward and hope to get some players back after the international break. I don't think Gervinho will be risked either, so Arshavin will again play on the left

Without Djoruou and Squilachi we'll actually concede less goals! :banghead:

Song is the 2nd best centre half we have so will be chuffed if he plays there!

Yeah I actually want Song in there.

Anyone else get the feeling Yossi is going to bang one in?

If you thought this injury crisis was bad wait until the ACN

In all seriousness its difficult to predict any derby game as form goes out the window but despite that I can see Spuds winning by 1 or 2 goals.

If we end up getting a draw expect there to be chants of "One Arsene Wenger" from the AKBs.

I feel like punching myself in the throat for this but I actually have a weird feeling we may do the scum 3-0. :shock:

I know! Mental as fuck idea. No idea why. But fuck it I'm popping a twenty on it! :lol:

I think Sol and Silvestre are still available as free agents.

Can't we sign one of them in time ?

Oh, and what happened to "...and Carl can play there too". Perhaps - but obviously not as well as a guy who is being moved out of CDM to cover the injuries !

lumping on the scum to score 4 or more.

song at centre-half? he can't run back to midfield after taking up his centre-forward role, how's he gonna cope with the extra distance

looks like I'm won't be going to this one now, pulled muscle in my leg this morning (while I was asleep) and I am literally legless - great timing :banghead:

and before you ask, no, I wasn't near the arse medics

If I win.....err, I'll buy myself one. My attempt is:

"You could see in the second half, that Tottenham had been able to rest their players in midweek...."
"The squad has shown an excellent attitude and is mentally strong."
