    I'm glad you're still here because your name makes me laugh whenever I read it...I know what it's supposed to say, but I always read it as "Ho Meat Highbury"

    My new PUMA Emirates shirts came in, all 4 of them at that, they look even better in person than online or on TV, I will be posting pics of them and even tweet one of them (both myself and Alice will be each wearing one) onto #BPLOnNBC so hopefully you'll see it on the telecast before they go into commercial, and you guys will get a view of it too, COYF'n'G!!! KILL!!! Fry those Chickens!!! It's just too bad that McDonald's doesn't make their Chicken McNuggets at 4:45 am (kickoff time for this match), so I will be doing up some of those Tyson strips and maybe some fries to go along with it, you know, something like this:

    The great Sarge did dub me "Homeat" years ago...I'm afraid it's stuck with people. In real life, outside of BS lol.

    One never knows, of course, but this really is shaping up to be a cracking match. I have no difficulty envisioning 4 or 5 goals in it.

    As for myself, I'm shitting bricks ... but then, I always am for the big ones. At 80 minutes, I'm guaranteed to be either livid (losing) or a nervous fooking wreck (level or winning by less than six) - not pleasant, either way. Honestly, I hate these (until they're over, anyway).

    Cup finals are even worse, yet I pray for them every year. It's all mental, really, this football thing.

    We call that "fried food platter" at my house. Are any of those shaped like basketball chickens?

    Actually, I've seen Spurs in ten cup finals in the time that I've been actively supporting. Got another one coming up in a couple weeks, now that you mention it. :cool: ;)

    Agree with sitting deep and absorbing for the first big chunk of this game. Coq in the middle makes me pretty comfortable with this plan but....I think you have to start Theo to make that counter threat even more worrisome for the scum (especially considering his form last week). Hate to say it but I'd let Alexis rest for the first 60-70 minutes.
    Smash these ********s!!!

    Let's just say that they are made from breast meat (oh no, Cindy Margolis would not to hear me say that) of basketball chickens, but either way, this will be one hell of a tilt.

    And as for pookspur's prediction, I can plainly say that it will be a very close match, I say it could very well be either a draw or a 1-0 or 2-0/2-1 win, but let's just say that it will rock Shite Hart Lane to the very core, and the only time I would get worried in this one is if it's still either equalized or a 1-goal lead going into second-half stoppage time.

    Even with Alexis out, I'm pretty confident for this one. Spurs have Harry Kane and Eriksen (and Lloris). It's not exactly nothing but we should be able to see the trouble before it arrives. We have a legit goal threat from anywhere, and Spurs defense doesn't look like keeping us out, once or many times as necessary.

    Yeah, I'll bet even THIS Kane couldn't help you out this coming Saturday, Spurs are goin' down, and so will Seth Rollins and his buddies at J & J Security and The Authority and their elaborate scheme to screw Roman Reigns out of his entitled title shot against Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania, let alone Tottenham's chances of beating us!!! COYF'n'G!!! As Triple H and Stephanie McMahon would say: "Beating Tottenham is what's best for business!!!"

    Alexis is out. I'd lay handsome odds that Walcott will start in his stead.

    I'll be confident either way.

    I've never read it as anything other than Ho Meat. Even when I've known better. ;)

    I have a sneaky feeling that Alexis will be on the bench tomorrow! ;)

    Hey BigHMW!
    Just wanted to say I enjoy your enthusiastic vibe!

    A while back you mentioned working on a Gunners song. Have you made any progress on that front?
    I would seriously crank that bad boy up, let us know!!

    So Pook, how's a 6-5 Arsenal victory sound to you? Would you be alive after the match? Holes in the wall?

    I for one, might literally have a heartattack

    You need to compare apples to apples. Monreal's passing percentage and aerial duels are boosted by the time he spent in the center of the defense.
