Match Day Tottenham v Arsenal, Saturday 10th February 12:30

Match chat.

Should be a dive-fest this one; 3 - 3 with 4 penalties given.

 

[red_in_florida]

Or no penalties if there is a linesman who knows what he's doing.
1-1 for me

They should get in the guy who ran the line for your last game.

He was clueless and a narcissist. Do not want to see his mug again; the only decent lines-people are the woman one (Sian somebody?) and the guy who looks like Dracula's little brother.

Why do Liverpool fans think the rules shouldn't apply to them?


Arsenal narrow win in exciting game or Spurs absolutely drub em.

 

[Benji]

Can't see Liverpool getting any points from this one.

 

[Pagnell]

Why do Liverpool fans think the rules shouldn't apply to them?

They don't. And it's not just Liverpool fans who disagreed with the decision. But it's done, it's over.

Draw please.

 

[SALTIRE]

NBC commentator just said this is one of the world's greatest derbies. Really!?!

 

[JimJams]

Are any English fixtures?

Are any English fixtures?

Maybe not, granted, but certainly this derby isn't one of them.

 

[Benji]

Good header Harry.

 

[SALTIRE]

One of the diver's gets his goal. 1 - 0 Spurs.

 

[Super_horns]

Wenger saw that as a foul ?

Think he'd be better concerning himself about how easily Kane outjumped the defender ..

 

[Pickleman1967]

Ha ha, suck it up Gooners, 1-0 to the Tott-en-ham. A tight first half, Arsenal defended well and gave Spurs few opportunities. Second half though, Tottenham created enough chances to win handsomely, a 3-0 score line would not have flattered them. A while ago I would have enjoyed watching AFTV tonight, but it would seem some of the characters on it are intent on making their celebrity based on supporting a team in decline, it is losing its appeal. I'd rather look at the league table tonight, it makes for fine viewing. Tomorrow I'm a Southampton fan, on Monday I'm a Baggies fan.
BTW, that chance that Lacazette blew in the final moments; Sanchez would have got that.

Well, yeah. There are few European countries who have as much history in their derbies as in the UK so I'd say if it's big in England, it's big in the world and the North London is pretty big. I'd only rank the Liverpool and Manchester derbies above it if we're only talking about England.

Very crap first half. The Spurs players must have gotten a hairdryer at half-time as they played much better second half. Disappointing that their goal was the only route one chance they created in a second half when they really should have scored more but they kept aiming all their shots at Cech (who didn't have a good game despite all the saves). However, the last few minutes were worrying. Lacazette had the chance to equalise but didn't. We also saw the limitations of Mkhitaryan who was the worst player on the pitch and doesn't deliver that much when his side isn't doing well.

Correct result. Spurs should have walked it though.

I reckon Aubameyang would have too. Shame he was shunted out left once Lacazette came on.

The NL Derby has never been a big event.

I'm not sure why you're belittling it. I hope it's not to the benefit of the Millwall/West Ham derby. News flash: a lot of people in continental Europe regard this game as a big derby.

 

[Pagnell]

9 games without a clean sheet for Arsenal, so Cech still waiting for that elusive 200th clean sheet. He must be wondering if he'll ever reach it.

 

[G-Dragon]

This spurs fan is class.

 

[JimJams]

Well Spurs should have drubbed em. Kane should have bagged a hat trick alone.

Because I was born and bred in North London, work in North London, and practically all my friends are either spurs or Arsenal fans. What people outside the region perceive is irrelevant.

And nobody gives a shit? Interesting if true.

Spurs not being a threat to Arsenal for most of the last couple of decades hasn't helped, but Arsenal support just isn't that passionate. They're an inward looking fan base. Spurs-West Ham and and Spurs-Chelsea, even Arsenal-Man Utd have more of an edge. Everything day to day between supporters is banter and mockery, but not passion. It's got far more in common with Liverpool-Everton.
