    Come on people, it's the North London Derby tomorrow FFS!!! 12.00 EST kickoff on NBCSN.

    Are we going to salvage some pride after 2 bad defeats? Or is it more gloom and despondency and headscratching team selections?

    Kaboul is available, with his red card rescinded. Dawson confirmed out along with all the other inmates of Tottenham Hospital. The fullback selections are anyone's guess - Naughton seems to be the only one fully fit. On their side, Ozil, Wilshere and Ramsey are notable absences.

    COYMFS! Do it for @pookspur !

    If Rose can play Thursday, he should play Sunday. If our backline is Rose - Vertonghen - Kaboul - Walker....that might be as strong as its been all year.

    If we do get a result, no doubt will be messy. Just not seeing anything to be positive about tbh.

    i was totally cracked after the EL game and thought season is over and nothing to play for anymore.
    But when looked at the table if we beat the scum it will be just 3 pts. difference to 4 place. so maybe there's still something to play on, besides NL pride of course. i feel a bit better now after i saw jose mad on tv, ;) and chelscum going down in fashion. yeah, it's not nice to get unfair reds, eh jose?:cool:

    COYMFS!!!

    Game of whether the players still have any pride.

    Pretty good odds for a Spurs win if anyone wants a bet on the game. :D

    Expect the worst (getting smashed) but hope for the best. I think we'd happily take a draw and a point.

    I don't know why everybody is so negative. With Tim on the sidelines bellowing "play for the shirt" and "bleed Spurs", what can Arsene do to match that? Play with his zip? Throw a water bottle down?

    My only question is whether the Arsenal bus will even bother to show up.

    The men who are tasked with salvaging our pride.

    Lloris; Naughton, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Rose; Sandro; Townsend, Bentaleb, Eriksen, Chadli; Adebayor

    And our subs this afternoon: Friedel, Walker, Lennon, Paulinho, Sigurdsson, Kane, Soldado.

    A somewhat random lineup again, although hopefully it pays off.

    First game I get to sit down and watch live all season. I have faith that we can disrupt Arsenal and get a scrappy win.

    Ok, looking like it's going to be 0-3 or something.

    Just so ludicriously open with that high line. No pressure on the ball in midfield, no organisation in the back 4. All it takes is one vaguely decent pass to open things up.

    every teams strategy against spurs - play the counter

    - they know with spurs lack of creativity theres little to fear on defense, and with spurs high line theres tons of space to be exploited on the attack

    Who the hell are we passing to in the box? Does no one pick their head up and actually look for a white shirt?

    As soon as they get near the box it's just hit and hope.
