sp*rs (a) match thread

[Jumpers For Goalposts]

I used to love going to this fixture. Through the 70's 80's and 90's we had some epics days and nights at Shite Hart Lane but back then we had a team that understood the importance of NLDs. Previous teams were stuffed full of battlers whereas this current lot are stuffed full of bottlers.

Depends which Arsenal turns up but I reckon 1-1 followed by Wenger banging on about Mental Strength and the importance of securing 2nd place

Hard to say because we do not know if Spurs will pick up injuries versus West Ham, but I feel a draw coming on.

They're not a one man team of course.......

[Poldi]

Cannot believe Taylor missed that

[Poldi]

WH's defending is worse than ours

[goonertux]

They are gonna be buzzing now! But stop Monkey-Boy and you stop them! Looks like it'll be Jenkinson. Red card anyone? He may end up playing behind Adebaywhore though, so it'll be Mertesacker's pace! Oh shit!!!!!

[LDB]

West Ham are pure utter garbage

[Rohan]

Monkey boy is in terrific run. That result almost went in our way. Anyway,i am sick of wishing any favors to us.

[rodders999]

Arsenal would have sold Bale 2 years ago if he'd been our player.

[Dan_85]

Urgh, i hate these horrible *word censored* so fucking much. Wenger in or out, I don't care on Sunday, just please show some bollocks for once & put this lot away.

[falkirk goon]

This x 100

Arsene is going to come out with a version where he was close to signing monkey boy. Eventually he ended up getting Lolercott. He did a great job.

[FreddyTheRed]

Monkey boy are going to rape the Senile's shaky defence.
but hey we dont need CL, 40m for wilshere and we are covered for the year. we might even make a profit to ad to the invisible war chest under wengers sleeping bag.

Bale said in papers over weekend he was unaware of any interest from us when he was at soton so someone is lying
