So Cockles is going to be "rinsed" - but he might contain him........? For once you are sitting on the Fence, times must be changing!

we're not going to judge Coq based on a sole game against T*ttenham just as much as we won't when he was great in the city win.

Derby games can be crazy but I hope we leave all the emotions to T*ttenham, lets think with our heads and get the three points.

I haven't started to serenade Coq yet because from what I have seen in young players is that their form can drop very quickly. But we have seen how useful he can be, and shows just how limited flamini and arteta have been.

Surely we'll put up a better fight than the chavs in their embarrassing defeat.

While we're on the subject of le Coq, how about getting this started on Sunday...?

To the tune of 'Mrs Robinson'

"And here's to you Francis Co-qui-lan, Arsene loves you more than you will know, whoa oh oh" Repeat...

That works quite well. Good one.



Also agree with others on here that TR7 should start. Always does well vs them and has done really well in general lately. Sanzhez prob out, Ox out. So I would expect the see the exact same team as vs Villa but I would personally play Rosicky over Ramsey, since Ramsey has been the weakest link on the team every game he's started recently.

Do you mean the same song that has been sung for Mathieu Flamini in two different spells at the club? Come on, let's be more original than that.

seriously wtf.

i didn't think u were a wum, but your ridiculous bigging up of Joe averages is bollox. Chelsea were awful against scum. completely off their game.

eriksen has scored a couple of free kicks and some last minute winners in games spurs were second best in against average sides and eriksen benefited from poor mistakes (jaz richards Swansea clearance or lack of for example), and kanes scored a load of goals in the league cup and against Cypriot part timers plus a few in the league, hes nothing special.

sure the c unts will probably beat us as their scummy fans and players are always so up for it and our players sometimes aren't, but we are not that good, but neither are they. with tactics and an astute manager we would dick them every time as man for man we are far better, bar the keeper, so no need to big them up more than they are.

i hate this game so much

Hmmmm. So according to your "logic" pointing out that Coquelin will be key to stopping Eriksen pulling the strings is "wum" behaviour. Hilarious! If you, yer know, have a basic clue about footie then you'd realise that Eriksen is the Spuds main threat. You'd also know, that he gave Matic the runaround. And Matic is the best DCM anywhere :roll:
You'd further realise, that he's scored more goals from open play than any other midfielder in the league. Look it up. So your "only scores free kicks" comment had proven how little you comprehend :oops:
It's honest to admit the opposition have players you should respect and Eriksen is one of them. Just as Sanchez is one for us.
Mind you, you must be one of those nappy-soilers who can only accept that all our players are the bestest eva eva! :roll:
There's also a hilarious irony in mentioning how they've got scrapes in games they've been average in, whilst overlooking our monumental scrapes at home to Palace, at Leicester, home to Hull, etc etc.
There's a reason there's only 2 pts separating both teams. And you then go and defeat your own bs argument by claiming "they'll probably win". Kane is also quite shit but curiously, he's scored more goals than any of our strikers, or indeed any if our squad :shock:
It's simply retarded to say he isn't going to be a threat. If he can mug a defender as good as Terry, I doubt Mertesacker will be daunting :rubchin: The point is, you need to prepare to snuff out their main threats, who gives a fuck if you rate them or not? They comprehensively thrashed a Mourinho managed team - we've not managed that in 10 years! we didn't beat them at home under this manager of theirs and he's shown he can do tactics. If the players go in with a shit-stained attitude of "we are just superior" then we'll get beat. You've made a fool of yourself with that factually retarded Eriksen comment so congrats!
Well done, here's a chupa chup lollipop for you. As retarded as a Spuds fans who claim Arsenal have "just one decent player" :roll:

Is Sanchez likely to be out? Huge blow if so, such a fear factor for the opposition when he's in the team.

Rosicky has got a good record against Spurs but if you start him - at the risk of sounding negative - we leave ourselves short of options off the bench.

you could say the same about City against us, and many did. There's no doubt we robbed City - which makes it sweeter in fact, but that doesn't translate to us walking over the spuds.

this is a role reversal imho - the talent of The Arsenal versus the tactics of the filth.

this could go any way, as i said earlier - we'll only know how when we see the team sheet. the spuds are not great but they are 6th and if wenger is over confident then just like stoke, swansea and southampton, they will fuck us in the pussy...
