NLD (Sunday)

[Chippy]

This weekend’s NLD takes on a whole new meaning in my opinion.

St Tottering’s day is no longer a calendar event, and will probably be the same for the next few years 

The power shift is underway so we need to find a way to beat them in order to bring them down a peg or two.

Finally, they are still in with a shout to win the league. How nice would it be if we ended their winning run and ended their title dream


(Just heard that Kos is a big doubt, oh dear).

I'd take a point right now.
Don't believe we have any chance of winning there.
Their record at home is P17 W15 D2 L0 F43 A8

Thanks for cheering me up Letters

Sorry

It's pretty upsetting but were it not for Chelsea going mental they'd be hot favourites to be champions. I hope we can put a dent in that on Sunday though.

Interestingly, the pressure is on them for a change. They know they're expected to win but how they deal with that will be telling

Not very optimistic but we have to do everything we can to halt their title challenge. I can accept that St Totts day is cancelled this year but for the love of god them winning the league is the stuff of nightmares.

The pressure was on last night and they won...ah screw it, we're going to lose aren't we?
Still think Spurs have it all to do, they have the far harder run in and are mostly away from home (where Chelsea are mostly at home) but they are the real deal right now.
Piss off, Wenger!

Form will (or bloody should) go out the window for the NLD. 50/50 as things stand.

But it depends who's ref if those odds are not to shift 100% away from us and towards Darling Alli Hotspur and the media wank session.

And, of course, there's Wenger to overcome. Could he, for once, just do the standard football things and pick the best side available and the most suitable formation and set out some rudimentary tactics (such as, try defending the goal, shoot at their goal,..)? I doubt it but perhaps even he will realise this is probably the final aspect of this season most fans give a flying fuck about. Could he get the fuck out of the way for just one match?

If we get a fair crack then we have just as much chance of winning as losing.

Referee: Michael Oliver
Assistants: S Bennett, J Collin
Fourth official: A Marriner

I'll take that. Not happy about the assistants but the ref and 4th official should be okay.

They say that, don't they?
"Form goes out of the window for a derby".
It doesn't really, or ability certainly doesn't. Back in the day when we were a much better side than them we never lost a NLD because we were by far the better side.
Now, sadly, they are so we now rarely beat them. A point at best.

Chelsea should win it but with this wave of momentum behind them and some ridiculously in-form players, I think Spurs have the beating of everyone in this league. They are solid from back to front.
