PL: Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal | Sunday July 12 | KO: 16:30 BST | Sky Sports

[Jury]

Playing with no fans is so **** imo...but for our players, it's actually for the best, as they get intimated at every ****ing away ground

The opposing fans are very loud and rude to us and show a lack of respect. It’s not nice and it’s not fair. How would they like it if our fans made loud noises when they were trying to play at our ground and said bad things?

Amusing Paddypower advert around this -

“NLD shorn of passionate fans” - Sp**s singing about past trophies (lone high voice haltingly sings “2008” Arsenal passionately following their team (lone voice shouts “you’re rubbish”).

Today is one of those days where time is measured only in how many hours left until kick-off.

Hearing Saka's come down with the flu.

Opta stats

• Tottenham are unbeaten in their last five home league games against Arsenal (W3 D2), with this the first ever meeting between the sides at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
• Arsenal have only kept one clean sheet in their last 10 Premier League away games against Tottenham (W1 D3 L6), a 1-0 victory in March 2014.
• Tottenham have dropped 42 points from winning positions in Premier League games against Arsenal, more than any side has dropped against another in the competition's history.
• Tottenham have won their last two home league games, and are looking to win three in a row at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since April 2019 - in their first three Premier League games at the ground.
• Tottenham's José Mourinho and Arsenal's Mikel Arteta are each taking charge of their first ever north London derby matches. The last meeting between the sides that was the first such match for both managers was in September 1986, when George Graham (Arsenal) and David Pleat (Tottenham) played out a 0-0 draw at Highbury.
• Mourinho has never lost a home game against Arsenal in his career, winning five and drawing four of his nine games - only versus Everton and Man Utd (both 10 games) has he faced more often at home without ever losing.

Next one posting fake team news deserves a thread-ban imo

If we drop points here our season is over ffs.

Don't disagree with that bro. Why Stan wouldn't sanction the spending of the money in the bank, and hasn't invested one cent of his vast fortune, is a whole other story. Just hope Wenger's book in October throws some light on it.

I'd say that Wenger was part of the problem when it came to buying and selling. I was trying to address the point being made that the team was only good at one thing and when ti came up against better backed teams we hadn't a hope. I think we definitely did we just did nothing with financial resources we had and kept selling or leaving our best players go. It seemed like 1 good players out 2 bad players in for a while.

 

[Trofton]

I’ve got
Auba to score
Kane to score
Arsenal result or draw

Why? All that Mourinho does is add organisation to a team. Poch already had that so well drilled that they've gone backwards since losing Eriksen. He hasn't had much time to prepare for this either. I wouldn't be shocked if the Sh*ts players are going to be a bit shellshocked by the commitment and determination of our players today, even if we go 1 down you'd expect us to keep going at them and win.

Eriksen was the ehart of the team and key to nearly everything they sued to do, without him its down to Son and Kane and they haven't been up to much.

They seem to be playing as individuals whereas we for the first time in a while are playing as a team that’s the difference today imo

 

[MartiSaka]

I think Sp**s will get an undeserved draw against us. Probably through Kane.

Yeah, thats looks about right.

Not sure about the weather in London but its stupendous in Wolves. Will Jose instruct his ground staff not to water the pitch? Possibly.
