Tottenham V Arsenal, 15 Jan KO 1630

[fakeyank]

Massive game.. City play Utd on Saturday, so we could be only 2 points ahead of city before KO

Spurs getting their nailed on pen for sure

Saka will be mauled all game and no cards will be given to those c*nts till the 89th minute

1-1

[Marc Overmars]

Hopefully something better than the disaster class we put on here last year.

We’re better than them now but winning at their place is a pretty rare occurrence. I think a draw is the most likely outcome.

[GP]

0-3

[Mac76]

3-0

Not giving any of those ***** a hatter though

[Mac76]

would take a 1-1 all day long, they always go into this game 1-0 up with the obligatory pel

[Marc Overmars]

Just read that Kane is 2 goals away from becoming their record goal scorer.

Guess we know how this one will pan out then. :sick:

Aye, I’d be pretty happy with a draw. Even in our glory days we rarely won there, and they’re better than they were then. A draw wouldn’t be fatal.

[LDG]

We just need to sit and be patient. Our failure last season was losing our heads and being wide open. Sit tight, control the tempo and go on the break

[IBK]

would take a 1-1 all day long, they always go into this game 1-0 up with the obligatory pel

This. PGMOL and FA busy with disciplinary charges to justify another biased refereeing display at Sp*rs...

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Whatever cheating is going to happen, we need to get our heads around that we must win this game....simple.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kulusevski will probably be back for the Spuds, seems like Richarlison and Bentancur won't be though.

I don’t think a draw is fatal, a loss might be.
Hopefully Utd will do us a favour today.

[selassie]

This is a must not lose. I'd take a point right now if offered it. We have another big game the week after against United who are improving at a rapid rate now and look like title challengers themselves, we need to ensure we do not lose tomorrow or next week.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

I don’t think a draw is fatal, a loss might be.

Favour done.

With less pressure now and the Mudryk debacle, I reiterate.....we need to win today.

[Letters]

Favour done.

Yes. Because if we don’t there are only *checks notes* 18 games left.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Doherty, Sarr, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Son, Kane.
Subs: Forster, Skipp, Sanchez, Richarlison, Gil, Royal, Perisic, Davies, Bissouma.

Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Nketiah.
Subs: Turner, Tierney, Tomiyasu, Holding, Lakonga, Smith, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Marquinhos.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Arsenal.

Big win needed.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Yes. Because if we don’t there are only *checks notes* 18 games left.

With 2 games against Citeh and one against our conqueror Man U :)

BTW you tend to win titles, by wining games and not "not losing" them (thats how you battle for an imaginary 4th trophy)...but I'm sure most of us have forgotten.

[Mac76]

cmon Arsenal ffs

[Mac76]

Spuds look really up for this ...

[Marc Overmars]

Eddie shoots straight at Lloris from close range.

Great chance

[Mac76]

Eddie should have done better

[Marc Overmars]

Confident start.

[Globalgunner]

Eddie should have done better

This will be said a million times in the future

[Mac76]

Xhaka doesn't have a clue what to do with the ball sometimes even with the quality of the players we have around him

[Marc Overmars]

Partey fortunate to escape without a booking for that handball :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

SAKA!!!!

Lloris chucks it in :haha:

[Mac76]

goal LLoris!!! :haha:

[GP]

SAKA!!!!


LOLris :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Will be a Lloris own goal.

What a man

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OG!!!

[Marc Overmars]

Ramsdale saves from Son

[Mac76]

Ramsdale :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Ramsdale!

[Marc Overmars]

We’re playing really well.

Just hope there’s no stupidity now to let them back into it.

[Marc Overmars]

Odegaard shoots from range but Agent Lloris bats it away

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well struck Odegaard.

[Mac76]

great effort odegaard

[Marc Overmars]

OMG Partey with a ridiculous volley that smashes the post

[Mac76]

Partey - so close

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fucking hell Partey.

[Mac76]

Saka gets a FK for being fouled :faint:

[Marc Overmars]

This is the best we’ve played away at Spurs in years.

[GP]

Playing so, so well.

Need to keep it up, keep our concentration.

[Globalgunner]

Need to watch out for the Spud dives. Its their go to tactic when things are not going well, even when things are going well...as well.

[Marc Overmars]

Martinelli has been a little quiet but everything is coming from Saka’s side.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Romero booked.

Run at him!

[Marc Overmars]

ODEGAARD!!!!!

What a hit

[Mac76]

Odegaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GODEGAARD!!!!

[GP]

I feel like breakdancing!

[Mac76]

come on guys keep going, make it 3-0

[Marc Overmars]

Zinchenko makes a huge difference in these games.

[Mac76]

that's a yellow for Lenglet surely

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odegaard. :bow:

Best Norwegian player in the league.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sessegnon booked.

[Mac76]

second yellow for spuds - a referee protecting Saka for once

[Mac76]

wake up Zinchenko

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsdale saves from Kane!

[Marc Overmars]

HT 0-2

Very, very good.

So important we don’t concede the next goal as it will become a different game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What happened there? :haha:

[Mac76]

need to play the second half the same way as the first - chase down every ball and run them ragged

[LDG]

Partey giving the ball away alot today. Unlike him…

[selassie]

We have played really well so far. Totally dominating all areas of the pitch. We need to keep it up, keep control of the game and we are winning this and maybe even by more. Really great half so far, proud of the team.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Thank God the boys didn't listen to some and are trying their best to win this game.

Spurs have been poor, but they've been poor for ages and that's why this is a must win.

Apparently the last time we did the double against them we won the league.

Looking good boys...looking good.

[selassie]

Zinchenko makes a huge difference in these games.

Yeah I noticed that sometimes when Partey was giving the ball away or playing a slightly suicidal pass Zinchenko was always there ready to take control of possession or back up Partey to press them. We have been very good so far, really pleased with the performance.

[Marc Overmars]

It’s like having an extra man on the pitch. Never seen a player like that before, especially one who operates from left back.

[Munchies]

we're doing it lads

[Ollie the Optimist]

We did the double over them back in 2013/14 (we’ll actually the treble as we knocked them out of the fa cup too)

[Letters]

Yes, I was fully advocating we play for the draw.
That’s exactly what I said.
You tiresome arse :rolleyes:

[Munchies]

Martinelli has been a little quiet but everything is coming from Saka’s side.

Always seems the case, Martinelli needs to improve and give us a similar outlet

[Marc Overmars]

They’ve got enough out there to hurt us while still being shit. Can’t afford to lose any focus here, need to frustrate them and continue to attack with the same menace.

Come on you Gunners!

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

We did the double over them back in 2013/14 (we’ll actually the treble as we knocked them out of the fa cup too)

Ahh, I probably heard the commentary wrong.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Come on you Gunners!

I agree, I think we need one more goal to kill this game.

I can't see it ending 2-0.... especially if good old Arrry is still on the pitch.

[Mac76]

Always seems the case, Martinelli needs to improve and give us a similar outlet

it's difficult when he's needing to get the ball from a left back who isn't at left back and Xhaka who's too slow and predictable

[Marc Overmars]

I agree, I think we need one more goal to kill this game.

I can't see it ending 2-0.... especially if good old Arrry is still on the pitch.

They’ve come back from 2 down a few times as well. This one isn’t over.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Yes, I was fully advocating we play for the draw.
That’s exactly what I said.
You tiresome arse :rolleyes:

Grow a pair and learn to stand by WTF you say.

Especially when you say it more than once.

[Mac76]

cmon guys don't mess this up

[Marc Overmars]

Ramsdale saves from Kane

[Mac76]

great save Ram

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsdale saves from Kane!

[Marc Overmars]

Great save again Ramsdale!

More of a contest now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsdale. :bow:

[Mac76]

we need to calm this down

[Mac76]

third booking for spuds

[Mac76]

poor corner from Martinelli

[Marc Overmars]

Getting sloppy now.

[Marc Overmars]

Tame Eddie shot saved. Did well to fashion the chance though

[Mac76]

lame from Eddie

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nketiah strike but easy for Lloris.

[GP]

Romero should be off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That one beat everyone. :lol:

[Mac76]

Kulusevski's really dangerous

[Marc Overmars]

Saka has been very quiet this half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shinchenko.

[Mac76]

we're sitting back too much

[Mac76]

Partey :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Great chance but Eddie hits Lloris again

Shit touch

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Damn it Eddie.

[Mac76]

:rolleyes:

[Mac76]

Richarllison coming on...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Doherty off, Richarlison on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dier booked.

[Mac76]

Dire booked :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh Lenglet was booked, not Dier.

[Munchies]

We really need a better backup striker.

Great workrate from Eddie but we should have had a 3rd by now

[Mac76]

Oh Lenglet was booked, not Dier.

he should have been booked in the first half and now be off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sarr off along with Sessegnon, Bissouma and Perisic on.

[Mac76]

our bench is so poor - apart from Tierney i don't see who we bring on - maybe Vieira but i wouldn't take Odegaard off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli off, Tierney on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Quite a lot to unpack there.

[Marc Overmars]

Squeaky bum time

[Niall_Quinn]

Tried not to post anything - but Partey forced me to.

How SHIT is this bastard?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zinchenko off, Tomiyasu on.

[Niall_Quinn]

btw, the rest of them are doing pretty well. But Partey - FUCK ME! What is Arteta thinking playing this bastard. He reduces the effectiveness of everything else by at least 50% Yes, his strongpoint is he gets round the pitch, no doubt about that. But he can't do a fucking think with the ball when he gets it. And he's 90% the cause of errors in the team as a whole.

Absolute shit-kicker and needs to be replaced urgently with a decent player who might actually complete this picture.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium screamer. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're going home early. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

5 mins added

[Niall_Quinn]

Tottenham fans are streaming out of the toilet bowl. Nice.

How sad Maccy. How very, very fucking sad, you once free thinking person.

That's WHAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES btw.

So wow, how whipped are you exactly?

[Mac76]

Son :haha:

[Mac76]

does that yellow mean Gabriel is out of the Man Utd game?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

does that yellow mean Gabriel is out of the Man Utd game?

No that was his fourth.

Five would mean a suspension by the halfway point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vieira and Smith Rowe on for two minutes of fun. :bow:

[Munchies]

Spurs are DONE

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham 0-2 Arsenal, FT!!!

:bow:

Eight points clear!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's all kicking off!

[Mac76]

spuds fans losing it :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

NQ stop it.

We just won at Tottenham for the first time in ages, we don't need that shit here.

[Globalgunner]

Spurs are DONE

They couldnt even conjure up a convincing dive between Son and Kane...disappointing

[Marc Overmars]

Massive win.

Got to do it all again next weekend

Let’s fugging go!

[Niall_Quinn]

Why would he not play ESR instead of that Partey fuck? How obvious is that switch? ESR has as much energy and he can pass, shoot, head the ball and look up to see what's happening on the pitch. All the things Partey can't do.

[Niall_Quinn]

NQ stop it.

We just won at Tottenham for the first time in ages, we don't need that shit here.

No matey. You stop it. THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES.

So why can't I call them that?

I ask again, how whipped are you?

Don't worry, I won't mention WHAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES again, in case I hurt your fee-fees. Would hate to do that darling.

[selassie]

I absolutely love this team. That was a performance of a title challenger today. Top stuff

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yes, they do. Go there and immerse in it. Not here, it has never been allowed here.

[HCZ_Reborn]

I only watched the first half, as I was half pissed and needed to get home from the pub

First half was excellent, dominant performance where we neutralised them from at attacking point of view and pressed well and created good chances. Well deserving of our lead even if one of the goals came from Lloris being a spastic


Second half sounded like they were a bit better from an attacking perspective but Ramsdale made good saves and we saw the game out.


Doesn’t matter that Newcastle, Liverpool, Villa have won there…we’ve usually come unstuck at their ground. This is an excellent and deserved win. Despite all the pundits backing us, I’d have taken a draw…but this is a continuation of our fine away form.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes, they do. Go there and immerse in it. Not here, it has never been allowed here.

Fair enough.

But a lie. I remember when it WAS "allowed" here.

But if there are new rules then fine. Your place, your tyranny.

[Munchies]

state of that fan hahahaa

[Munchies]

One more game, we're officially 50% there

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

I can't believe we held that lead...in fact I've just lost money....but I'm still buzzing.

Great mature performance...a performance worthy of champions.

The win, and more importantly the way we won, is definitely the ammo we need to wrap this title up this year.

Well done team, well done Mikel!!

[Mac76]

very good performance, great to stuff the spuds :clap:

[Globalgunner]

Now off to watch the self flagellation over on Glory-glory :d:d

Fair play to you. I mean statistically you were on to a winner. But this is actually the best team in the league right now.

[Niall_Quinn]

That queer bloke in the tights - Richarlison or something weird like that - he should have been sent off after his bullshit at the end of the match. Not because he was upset at losing and decided to attack Ramsdale, but because he ws wearing women's tights and faggoty gloves. Send the fucker off.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I think I've disliked few people let alone footballers more than Richarlison.

[Niall_Quinn]

I think I've disliked few people let alone footballers more than Richarlison.

Yeah, a supreme wanker by any era. And he did nothing on the pitch, which makes his antics more ridiculous.

[Niall_Quinn]

I hope our win gets top billing on the BBC, instead of the usual women's league BULLSHIT they're pushing.

Women's league. Yes, I'm laughing too.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking women eh?

Absolutely.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Yeah, a supreme wanker by any era. And he did nothing on the pitch, which makes his antics more ridiculous.

I wouldn't even mind so much if the prick was any good, but he's shite.

[Niall_Quinn]

I wouldn't even mind so much if the prick was any good, but he's shite.

99% of them are. So he's only doing what is expected.

[Letters]

I wouldn't even mind so much if the prick was any good, but he's shite.

He scored “that goal” in the World Cup and texted a Spurs fan mate saying he looks good and my mate replied saying he thinks they might have accidentally signed his brother :d

Bosh.

Love it

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

You bet against them :lol:

Not even I would do that.

Fair play to you. I mean statistically you were on to a winner. But this is actually the best team in the league right now.

Nah, couldn't bet against us, but I did bet it wasn't going to stay 2-0 at HT...so anyone scoring would have won me a pretty sum.

But yeah the result was much more satisfying.

[The Wengerbabies]

I hope our win gets top billing on the BBC, instead of the usual women's league BULLSHIT they're pushing.

Women's league. Yes, I'm laughing too.

What? Are they showing womans football on MOTD with the league highlights these days?

[Letters]

Same here, we bossed that game beyond my wildest dreams

[Niall_Quinn]

Not yet. That's next year.

[Mac76]

Btw the officials were good today, great to see Saka protected for once

[Letters]

Apparently the last time we did the double against them we won the league.
Ollie has already corrected this but we just to add we didn't win at WHL in '98, 2002 or 2004.
Even at our best we rarely won there, but we didn't lose either. I saw this as a "must not lose", but of course a win was preferable.
I still can't believe it ended 2-0, I expected them to come back at us second half and it was all set up for Kane to be "the hero" :sick:

:patrice:

[Ollie the Optimist]

Same here, we bossed that game beyond my wildest dreams

During a derby, you always think that “if spurs just get on then they’ll get two etc” but looking back yesterday and the one at the emirates, we completely dominated and had total control for almost the entire two games.

We just never looked like losing nor letting them back in the game,
