AEIOU…

Jim

I honestly do t know how to feel about a derby without the stadium, without the fans

Mentally Drained Gooner

We’ll dominate the midfield and win handsomely!!!

BigArse

We can get at this team down the wings. And let’s hope Mustafi can put Harry Kane in his pocket like he did a couple years ago. And fuck Jose Mourinho. Bus parking gunt. COYG.

Jim

That mustafi performance feels like decades a go, but wasn’t it last season?

BigArse

2017/18 I think. Arsene was still around.

Jim

Very true

David C

I hope Michael Oliver doesn’t fall for Mourinho’s whining and mind games during the week. Please get your yellow card ready for a Harry Kane dive in the box.

Saka off the bench after we’re up 3-0 would be nice!

COYG!!!!!!!

Dave

Michael Oliver the type of guy who doubles down under criticism

Doghouse

Could cause some damage here, let’s hope we take our chances

Fatgooner

SACA SHOULD HAVE STARTED!!!!!!

Dave

Pepes set piece delivery could make the difference

BigArse

Yeah, the boss seems really wedded to Auba on the left. Let’s hope Laca can break out and justify his selection. I, like most, would have had Aubameyang up top Saka left and Pepe right.

Dave cee

I thumbs up, but maybe Saka needs a rest

Trigg27

Fresh Sakha against tired legs in the 2nd half. Sounds like a winner to me

Tallest Tiz

Seven other that’s!

Trigg27

Good news lads.

Lawro has predicted we’re going to lose

Anonymarse

Lawro always predicts we’ll lose

Torterrier

Haha 7 other twats

Thierry Bergkamp (non negotiable)

Manager: A bigger cunt than 7 twats

Cygans Parting

Shouldn’t that be 9 other twats!!!

Chamakhyungpark

Wouldn’t it be nice to beat the muck today, even more so with he who must not be named in charge.

Naked Cygan

Win today, and finishing above sp*rs should take some of the pain from this horrible season go away. Does anyone know what places go to Europa League next season? Looks like no league cup next season, so if we dont make it to Europa we would just have league and fa cup, which brings up the topic of squad size next season.

btw

With Wolves and Sheffield winning, Europe is looking far away at the moment, and we still need to play Pool. FA cup? I think we will end up without any European football next season, with knock on effects.

Cygans Parting

What is the collective noun for twats???
I think that it should hence forth be known as
a spurs of twats

Dave cee

Loving this suggestion

Sweet Lou

I’d back Pepe against Ben Davies all day

Dave cee

Kinda surprised no Trae Coyle or Balogun on the bench. Slightly less so Bellerin starts.
Fuck it, let’s go. COYG

Dave cee

Anyone have a link to a good stream?

highstick

Get that sideshow bob out of this club now plz

Artetas Assistant

That wasn’t Kolas fault ?

highstick

In my opinion its a bad pass but he (luiz) is so slow to react/run and could have just shielded Son from the ball but doesn’t even have the strenght to do that..

Artetas Assistant

I’ve seen Luis put the ball out and let the team regroup instead of putting our guys under pressure in front of that frontline. But Kolas jittery on the ball , I think his next two touches were an example of the only instruction he should have anyway; shoot it outside the pitch at worst

Greg in Seattle

Totally Kola. Played it to the center of the pitch nearer the opponent against Luiz’ momentum.

highstick

Can’t for the life of me see how Arteta can rate those two guys over Holding..

Artetas Assistant

It’s a system, they cover each other’s faults and let us enjoy their strengths.

Dave cee

Ffs I go to get potato salad from the fridge to celebrate and it’s 1 fucking 1

Dave cee

It’s like the old days :(((((

Tribe

Lacazette’s goal is a world class screamer. And apart from that, we are pretty conservative and pretty predictable. No midfield play at all.

Artetas Assistant

Felt like the last upgrade to his rediscovering himself. He’s regaining confidence, started passing quicker (last match) and now going for the jugular from range. Consistency remains

highstick

Are the commentators watching a different game then me, beacause all I see is 20 players walking on the field. Slowest game since restart and no passion.

highstick

Or Ceballos actually looks alive

Bergkamp2wright

Dreadful game of football. A mournho team playing what a surprise.

This Tottenham side are dogshit and we should be winning this.

Bergkamp2wright

Our centre backs proving why we need serious investment. Awful.

Naked Cygan

Absolutely shit passing. Unacceptable at this fking level. Giving the ball away with no pressure is disgusting.

Public Elneny

The sooner we can ditch these 3 CBs the better

Qwaliteee

Heh. At last, someone on this page has finally come around to my way of thinking. Congratulations.

Santori

Don’t like Pepe. Prefer Saka. Pepe will have one or two moments but largely missing most of a game and does not retain the ball, looks like his on pot or something sometimes, gets easily dispossessed and turned, makes little effort to regain possession (at least Alexis would bother to hunt the ball back) And we are now beholden to pay 16m ++ every window which with Saliba commits 20m away from additions we need to make. Frankly Sanlehi as mention is not someone experienced in transfers. He made a splash for the fans but over one successful season for… Read more »
