Competition: Barclays Premier League Date: Saturday 15th September Kick Off: 0830 EST, 1330 GMT Venue: White Hart Lane (the other ground in North London) Here it is people. The first derby of the season, and the chance to kick Spurs when they are down. Arsenal 2nd, Spurs 14th. The chance to get the manager sacked. LET'S HAVE YOU ARSENAL!!
first page! i really want a clean sheet from us, and i wont to see more composure from our front line. if those two things occur in a pressure game like this then i will be a happy man.
I cannot ********ing wait for this one!!!!!!!!!!!! Not making no predictions yet! Is Gallas back for this one? Because he was picked for the French squad? Anyway if he isn't back I will be more than happy with Gilberto filling in at centre back.
i hope tottenham dont regroup over the week off, if they play like they have been we should have an easy 3-0 victory.
hopefully gallas makes it back for this one......arsenal will win this one 2-1 and jol will be posting his resume on monster.com this one is on setanta correct?
I hope Gallas is back as well, especially with Senderos suspended. WG should be back, it'll have been 4 weeks by then. sPuds can be tough up front. The game is supposed to be on FSC, I think they confirmed it during the week. See the Arsenal on TV/US Only thread.
i wouldn't be surprised to see sagna slot in at CB, and flamini remaining at right back. it might be too soon for diarra (big, big match), though arsene will most certainly have a good look in training.
If Gallas isn't back (I'm not holding my breath), I'd expect Sagna -- Toure -- Gilberto -- Clichy ---------- Denilson ----- Hleb ------ Fabregas ------ Rosicky ----- RvP -- Adebayor ----- If Gallas is back, I imagine Gilberto moves up and Denilson comes out. Maybe the upside of Senderos being out for three games is that Denilson might get some more playing time. I don't expect to see Diarra yet, I want to see him settle in first.
Can't wait I'll wait a little while for prediction and line-up. If Gilberto is at CB, I'd like to see Diaby start in midfield.
I can really see us ripping their defence to peices. 0-4, they might get a goal depends what our back 4 look like...
Jens Lehmann, along with Gallas, is also scheduled to get back into this game .. Who would you choose ? Lehmann over Almunia ?
I'm going Almunia over Lehmann...With him back there I am much more at ease, especially when the other team has a corner. He doesn't get flustered when crowded
Are we going to challenge Big Phil's red or try to get his penalty reduced...? that was quite soft... although I guess by the "letter of the law" it was a red. I think we should have this one 2-0 or so... although our defense is still hurt and I'm wary that berbatov has yet to explode this season, he's due for a big game
My local cable tv does not have this match listed as LIVE. Instead: ESPN: 1855 Everton vs Manure 2155 West Ham vs Middlesbrough Starsport: 1940 Portsmouth vs Liverpool 2155 Sunderland vs Reading Manure and Liverpool took away the time slot!!! That means i cant watch this match F 0ff ESPN and starsports. The north London derby is even better than any of the two matches, why cant they see that? Disgraceful!
