YES!!! It's THAT time again, THE BIG ONE!!! The North London Derby, as WE host the Chickens at The Emirates this Saturday morning, so here is the rundown for ya..... The Battle: Matchday 12 - The Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur Date: November 18th, 2017 Venue: Emirates Stadium - Ashburton Grove, North London, London, England Opening kickoff: 12:30 pm BST/7:30 am EST/4:30 am PST/1:30 am HST (for our old pal Goonermaui) TV: US - NBCSN - DISH Channel 159 SD/HD, DirecTV Channel 220 SD/HD, Channel 1220 (VOD) (Premier League LIVE begins on NBCSN at 6:30 am EST/3:30 am PST/12:30 am HST (also for Goonermaui) UK - Sky Sports I will be up at 3:00 am sharp in the very same kit as Arsenal will be wearing on the football pitch that morning (obviously home red/white, and yes I just received all 4 of my 2017-18 AFC strips from Arsenal Direct last week during the international break, so it's time to ROCK 'n' ROLL, BABY!!! So COYF'n'G!!! Let's go SMASH THOSE CHICKENS!!! Here's what my gangsta-rap alter-ego, AK47 thinks of Tottenham Hotspur:
The closest Harry Kane will ever come to being a superhero on the pitch (let's hope not). NOT IN OUR HOUSE!!!
Statistically speaking we are similar teams, and the past few years one team has come out of the blocks on fire before losing to the other team. So fingers cross Spurs come out, score 2, before we score 8 and we can start selling "i'd 8-2 be a Spuds fan" commemorative tees.

Now I may know jackshit about stats, as I just watch as a fan and not as a pundit, but here are two ideas for my Staring XI tomorrow morning: in a 3-4-2-1 ----------------------Cech ----Bellerin - Kolasinac/BFG - Monreal Coquelin - Xhaka/Ramsey - Wilshere - Ozil -----------------Alexis - Giroud ---------------------Lacazette in a 4-3-1-2 -------------------------------Cech Bellerin - Koscielny/BFG - Mustafi/Kolasinac - Monreal ------------------Coquelin - Ramsey - Ozil ------------------------------Alexis -----------------------Giroud - Lacazette Any questions? This is the first time that I have ever projected a Staring XI for any kind of match in any league, so bare with me on this but I'm going with just my gut instinct and not real statistics. COYF'n'G!!!
What? Is it still soccer season? These international breaks are killers. Anyways, go Houston Dynamo and go Arsenal!
Girouds out for tomorrow. Coquelin and Ozil as wing backs might be the worst thing ever posted here. Including pizza stuff.
Yeah not too strategic am I? I TOLD YA I didn't know jack shit about the technical part of the game, all I care about is the end result 90-plus minutes later, at the sound of the referee's full-time whistle, so COYF'n'G!!! 90 minutes = 3 points LET'S DO THIS!!!
No Ollie tomorrow huh, Arsene Wenger had better find a way to get a result without him, who's REALLY gonna be in the Starting XI, any ideas? With Giroud out, who takes his place, alongside Alexis, and Lacazette of course?
Finally fielding our best line up in a big game, which is nice. It’s a shame there is no one to bench Sanchez. He really shouldn’t play for us again.
Morning boys! Nice lineup: Arsenal XI: Cech, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Bellerin, Ramsey, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Ozil, Alexis, Lacazette Bench: Ospina, Mertesacker, Coquelin, Maitland-Niles, Wilshere, Iwobi, Welbeck
No push from ozil there. Should be 1-0. Edit: first 10mins has been ALL ARSENAL. Great intensity. Come on!!!
We're getting in behind them a ton. Especially on their left side. Let's go!! P.s. Ain't no library today!
I've seen 2-3 great runs by Laca missed. Too many years with OG up too have made them forget about those balls.
