    Alright, I'm taking a stab in the dark here and posting my first match thread in god knows how long.

    Really is a bold move considering how important this game is.

    Arguably the best time this season to be playing at home to Arsenal. Cech & Koscielny out and they've been on a downward spiral the past few weeks. Easily our best chance to stake a claim to Leicester that we mean business and will fight them for the title.

    It was a pretty poor performance against West Ham but I didn't expect it to be easy. Play with the intensity they had against a Swansea team that went on to beat arsenal 3 days later and I reckon we'll win comfortably. Its all about whether Poch has been able to settle his side down in preparation for the biggest 10 games any of us have witnessed in a Spurs season since the Gary Mabbutt & Gareth Crooks days in the 80's when we could have done it then.

    Dembele and Alli expecting to start who were sorely missed on Wednesday I'd have to back a Spurs win.

    3-1. Its daring but you have to just hope.

    Lloris
    Walker alderwiereld wimmer rose
    Lamela dembele dier eriksen
    Alli
    Kane


    That's a Premier league winning starting 11 in my books.

    Come on you Spurs!

    Heading over in the morning for my first ever NLD. Butterflies already... MASSIVE GAME... COYS!

    Prediction: 2-1 (Kane with the winner) :)

    One of the few games I truly get excited about, last seasons game was fúcking amazing. Blitzed, from start to finish.

    Arsenal haven't kicked on, they've stagnated. They'll be kicking themselves with the way the league has panned out. Dominating and looking down, that's how they perceived this season.

    It's a derby, you either perform or go hiding. I'd expect a physical game, non stop attacking, defending me'h.

    Koscielny is a huge loss, top player. West Ham was a blip. Depends on Arsenal's mentality tomorrow, we should be going for the jugular. No matter who plays.

    Not conceding early is key.

    March 2016 - We were expected to win but rosicky scored in the 2nd minute and that was the way it finished. Current form goes out the window and it could go either way.

    This your prediction???:p

    Ha. No, I think we will win.

    We could absolutely smash them but I'll take a one nil win via an o.g. of the arse of Walcott and be delighted.

    I reckon 3-2 or 4-2 to us.

    I'll be at a pub in Brisbane with about 50 Brisbane Spurs fans.

    We usually go to an English pub that has all fans there but got an agreement with a smaller pub to be our own Maye's here. Only Spurs fans allowed. Gonna be mental!!

    just about to jet off, don't think I've ever been more excited/nervous for a game in my life.

    Believe.

    Three points, that's what we want!

    I'm on edge all morning- what a test of our Spursy label today. I really think we'll do it, especially if Dembele plays.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,746 ✭✭✭irishmover


    50 was an underestimate. About 100 spurs fans here in our own bar! Great atmosphere..

    We're completely in control, but not had many really good chances. We need to get something out of this possession, and the longer it goes on the more I'll worry they'll grab the lead.

    Lamella has had a good game, I fear he'll be served his walking papers.
