    they weren't brilliant last night, they needed Eriken's solo effort to get past Palace....they looked a bit tired and lacking in ideas

    Spurs play well as a team, they are extremely well drilled and play a good pressing game which against most sides in the league is quite effective. But Chelsea wore them down in the fa cup semi final and won comfortably in the end.

    How we perform against Spurs will be determined by how we start the game, if we keep the game goalless as long as possible i would even fancy us to nick it however as we know that's a very big IF.

    What will be good for Arsenal football club will be absolute spanking from the Sp*rs. A win or a draw will be hailed as some sort of achievement, which it is not.
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    Form and quality of the team doesn't play a big part in the NLD unless there is a chasm in class. They're clearly better than us, they look a much better team, are more balanced and have a better manager, but pressure, the fact it's a derby play a big part, they're expected to win and that weight heavily on teams.

    I reckon it will probably be a draw, not because we're anywhere near as good as them but because of the nature of the game and the pressure on them and at this time of the season games tend to be tight as players tend to be a bit more tired. It's what I was referring to with the mini run, can see us scraping a few draws against the top teams despite being outperformed and then Wenger coming away from the season please with his seasons' work.

    Me too.

    Let's face it, they trump us in every single position these days, that's the sad truth, they are better than us and by some distance IMO. They are very organised too...it's not the Spuds of old who would roll over, this Spuds team is a totally different type of challenge.

    We won't be going there and picking up 3 points, I would be very happy with a point which would put a dent in their title charge.

    Calm down guys, they won't win the league. The game will probably be a draw.

    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    You are seriously misjudging the mood here.

    There is no way back for Wenger as far as most fans are concerned.

    Not sure about that you know. I think this season has drawn in a larger group of people who now won't be persuaded that he can turn things around long term.
    But if things start to settle in terms of results, the protestations will become less vociferous. People will be angry if he signs a new deal but they'll accept there is nothing they can do about it.

    If however we lose on Sunday, lose to United, lose to stoke, lose the FA cup final.....any attempt to renew his contract and you will see absolute outrage.

    He's bought himself time, but he's still on a very narrow tightrope.

    He is done. Look at that crowd last night. And by all accounts the answer to "are you not entertained" was pretty obvious.

    To be honest I doubt he is even capable of getting the results to settle down.

    Let's face it, he's going to be here next year. And unless he does the Double it's not going to change many people's minds.
    And if he does than people like FY and Zim will just double down and say he got lucky anyway.
