Spuds game

Wasn't referencing you personally @topgoon, just a general point.

But yeah some people that still haven't yet grasped the fact that Wenger is unsackable, and that want us to lose vs Tottenham in some vain attempt to get him out, they're just shit supporters, the type you always hoped didn't exist but you know they're out there. On messageboards.

No doubt Babatedium is masturbating over his Gareth Bale doll as we speak.

£90 plus for a ticket. Plus flights from Belfast. Think this will be my last game for a while as we are all being royally fleeced. Took my 10 year nephew over for the Chelsea game and that was £180 plus for two tickets. Outrageous. I'm starting to think the best way forward is to NOT attend games. It doesn't matter about football results until they get hit in the pocket nothing will change.

Still hope we hammer the Totts. Will be in the Pins followed by the Gunners pre game and the Pins post game if anyone fancies a beer.

Why are so many people talking Spurs up? They're one point ahead of us for fuck's sake, we've both played City and United away and Chelsea at home, the only theoretically tough games other than that are Mousers and Stoke away for us and Barcodes away for them so nothing in it really. They've also been fucking dismal in Europe and LC (with full sides in both).

They play a similarly negative formation with one up top and what they have over us out wide with Bale and Lennon they really lack in CM (Tom Twentystone will start ffs), especially with no Dembele. They're not quite as bad defensively but have only kept one clean sheet and have conceded 5 more than us. The main difference is Friedel is having a great season and our keepers have been turd.

We might be playing shite but fucking hell Spurs are hardly setting the PL alight, we're more than capable of beating them without some divine miracle. Even if I won't relax until we're 5 goals ahead.

Totally agree mate. We've had our worst start to a season for 25 years or something and those *word censored* are 1 point ahead of us. We will beat those scum fuckers i have no doubt

I'm not going to this, or any Cat A game this season, and you know what - it feels fucking great to know that they're not getting my money. Just a few years ago the thought of missing the NLD would have been unbearable. But despite the fact that my "custom" will of course be instantly replaced, the thought of having much more fun watching it in the pub for half the price is excellent.

They can keep it. £63 minimum? They're taking the piss.

Find it amazing how many people in the media are talking them up as playing very well under AVB, I thought the love-in would be gone with 'Arry. All I can say is thank fuck they got rid of Redknapp, tactically on par with Wenger but for 70% of the season he had a system that got the best out of his players and exploited it.

Did find it amusing for Jamie Redknapp to really hammer AVB for not picking Defoe yesterday. Aside from the fact that imo it was completely justified given the opposition and his general tactics, 'Arry picked Adebayor ahead of Defoe pretty much every game last year even when he became lazy and off-form, not a word was said then on Sky.

Jermain Defoe, Aaron Lennon and Kyle Walker all suffered injuries yesterday. They are all doubtful for the Arsenal game on Saturday.

hacks are all jealous of the fact AVB despite, like them, being middle-class and shite at fitba
has managed to build a career IN the game, instead of sniping from nearby

v Fulham I'd like to see

Szcz
Bac Kos BFG Jenks
Tets leCoq
Wilshere
Cazorla Giroud Walcott
(obv with some rotation between 7, 10 & 11)

but I fear Mannone, Verm at left back or Rambo...

That old chesnut anyway that the form book goes out the windows for derbies. This is even more true for the NLD. Look at some of the scorelines down the years. 4-4, 5-4, 3-3. You may as well put your betting slip on a dartboard and throw a left handed arra at it to call this one.

@Orbinho: Arsenal have won nine and lost none of the 11 Premier League games Howard Webb has officiated at the Emirates Stadium.

This is one of the two weeks of the year in which I could not give a flying one about Arsene Wenger, Stan Kroenke, Chamakh, Diaby, or any of the other shit infesting our club.

Let's just beat these vile *word censored*. Please.
