I'll say one thing, Wenger has been very bullish and defiant this week about the game and the shift of power in North London, there is no shift of power in his world and he says the players will do the talking on Saturday. His rep on the line tomorrow, he better hope they turn up.

They are not that good but neither are we, a third of our team don't even look motivated or like they want to be here. I personally still believe at our best we are better than them, in fact i'd go as far as to say at our best only City are really better than us in the league.
The thing is we very rarely play to a high level and therein lies the problem.
Another issue is we are not tactical, that will be key tomorrow and if we haven't done our homework then i can't see us getting anything out of the game.
It angers me that the situation has come to this, where our reputation is on the line over a NLD, we simply cannot afford to lose tomorrow, it will be extremely damaging if we do.
Last season Wenger said it isn't a big game. This week he said it is. He can't make his mind up.
Interesting thing is both teams have poor away record against top six rivals. Spurs like us only have one away win to their name in the past three years and like us it came away at Man City.
Our record since August 2014 Won 1 Drawn 7 Lost 10
Spurs record Won 1 Drawn 6 Lost 9
Spurs however are better at beating the top six sides at home. Beating us twice, United twice, City twice, Chelsea twice and Liverpool once in matches at WHL/Wembley. We have failed to beat them, beaten Chelsea, Liverpool and City only once and United twice in that time.
Harry Kane has scored six goals against us in the six games we have played Pochetinno’s Spurs in the league.
So a betting man would put this as a score draw with Kane to net for them
Dele Alli will get sent off during a NLD at some point, surely?
Today is the day
Let’s fucking do them, yes?
Would absolutely love to do them. The way sky have geared this up as if it's the final game of the season for the title. I know it's a big game but these 24 hour rolling sports channels really do hype things up uneccesarily.
Also every man and his dog seem to have had their say on the 'power shift'. Would love us to beat them today to shut each and every one of them up.
Come on the old dog
Show us you still have something in you
4-0 and Wenger will sign a new 2 year deal on top of the one he's on
