    The N17 Community Toilet
    USA “TV”: Peacock 11:30am ET


    Ugh, NBC is really going all-in on Peacock this year for huge matches. And to rub salt in the wounds the pre-game is on USA before they force us off, and over to their stream. Ah, progress...

    Anyway, this game’s simple right? We’re a much better football team than them ATM so we should just beat the bastards! At their shiny new toilet bowl no less.

    Them’s been playin cautiously and tepidly for a while now, especially in 1T, maybe by Conte’s design?! Then they tend to spring to life sometime in 2T, often after giving up the first goal. A very strange MO if you ask me.

    Even in their last outing to Palace, where they shockingly were 1st to score in 2T, then completely dominated, they still just did virtually nothing in 1T.

    So perhaps the plan for us could be to go gang-busters in 1T and try to go up by 2 goals at HT. But of course not overcommitting or losing shape, since their they’ve got counter-attack DNA with top quality attackers... and one particular NLD nemesis.

    Just in case, maybe we should add some other secret strategies:

    1. Special Delivery of Special Lasagna to the Kane household on Saturday
    2. The Conan / “Kill!” memes posted in this thread
    3. And maybe even @BigHMW’s little Tottnum ditty?

    I reckon we can’t quite win the league at WHL this year, but it’s Tottnum lads, and here’s a few little inspirational memories...

    I don't care about the score. I don't care about the cards. I don't care who is the ref/var/anything.

    Just. ********ing. Win.

    Win at the Spuds ground. Lets add to their misery, and add towards another under achieving year for them, while we march on our way for a chance of the league title.

    In today’s training photos I noticed that Tomiyasu & Saka seemed to be missing.

    I am a little surprised by the former but not the latter.

    I expect a refereeing disaster class as the EPL is in full "let's do everything we can to create a title race" mode.

    I don't recognize the officials so this may be a drama free affair.

    Craig Pawson takes charge of one of our games for the first time since our 3-0 win against Bournemouth back in August. It is his second north London derby, having overseen our 3-1 home victory last season.
    We have won 14 of the previous 27 games of ours he has officiated, drawing three and losing 10. He is yet to show a red card this season from 20 games across all competitions.
    • Referee: Craig Pawson
    • Assistant Referee 1: Marc Perry
    • Assistant Referee 2: Scott Ledger
    • Fourth Official: Darren England
    • VAR: Paul Tierney
    • Additional VAR: Constantine Hatzidakis

    Agreed re: referee concerns heading into this derby. The Deep State within the FA wants a title chase in the back half of the season rather than our squad running away it.

    Going into this fixture with low expectations. On current form, we should throttle them, but I will be relieved with a draw at this point.

    I had to put Hulu on pause for 3 months due to some financial difficulties but yes I DO still have Peacock so I will indeed be watching, after all, we ARE playing Shit, and, of course we are playing them at New Shite Hart Lane, and...... we are on top of the League at this moment and have all the momentum in our favor, so #COYF'n'G!!! KILL!!! #MindThatGap!!!

    I'll also inform Cindy Margolis of this match on her Facebook page. Hopefully she'll be "donning" her customized Arsenal cyber-jersey as I always make her one every season.

    Now that United is close to the top, the refs are going to do everything in their power to gift them the title. We are going to have to overcome some major hurdles if we are going to get a win in either of the next 2 games, and if we can't, its time to settle for top 4.

    There will be a clear foul on Gabriel from a corner that VAR will conveniently miss.
    Kane will score a penalty.

    They are the two certainties for this match.

    Fortunately, Kane will score that penalty while we are 0-4 up, so it won't matter.

    But Kane being gifted NLD goals is as regular as the sun rising in the morning.

    What are the odds on Saka getting a random yellow card this match?

    100%. The real question is will it happen after 5 shitty fouls on him that aren't carded before he gets a yellow or 10?
