Hopefully the crowd will push the team forward, cause with our injuries and form lately, we will need it.

On a positive note, I've heard Spurs will miss some players too for this match.

I have faith that the lads will raise their game for this, but, if the yids hammer us I can see the pressure on Wenger hitting critical levels.

Apparently the Scum are nissing a few players for this one.

Ekotto - minor groin operation
Adebawhore - twisted knee
Modric - flu
VdV - calf

Bale also played the whole 90 minutes yesterday and got run ragged by their RB/RW... whatever he was he was good, bags of pace too!

I don't for one minute believe all these players will miss Sunday's game, probably just one or two, probably mind games from 'arry! Or him excusing his slightly weakened team yesterday.

If it were just the two though, it would be nice if it were Ekotto and Modric. I think we can dominate their midfield without Modric (yep, even our midfield!), and Theo could do with being up against a makeshift LB. Can't wait to see how Ox-man does against their new golden boy Walker!

I'm far more concerned about their midfield than attack. It's probably a given that the whore will score, but our defence won't be in anywhere near as much danger (and our attack won't be so isolated) if we can get on top of their midfield, which is more than possible if they're missing Modric!

Ramsey Coq and Squilaci got injured at Sunderland right?

Modric is the man in the yids MF that I worry about. Bale is going to skin FB's, have to just accept that, but if Modric is there and on form he pings passes around that opens up attacks for everyone else.

Mike Dean is the referee.

Just thought I'd cheer you motherfuckers up.

Was it Lawrie Wilson by any chance?

He's good but I worry more about VDV. So if they're both injured that's a major f***ing bonus.
And the first time in 28 games we're actually playing on a proper pitch, so hopefully our players legs won't buckle and snap every five minutes.

Possible off-the-bench cameos:
*Theo, Yossi, Park. Wouldn't want to see anybody else come off the bench, tbh

That rings a bell, a little on the tall side with long dark hair? He just wouldn't stop, started at least 3 counter attacks in the dying stages, matched Bale for pace on a few occasions as well. Really gave the Scum something to think about. Should have got MotM imo, but I only saw the last30/35 minutes.

VdV is always a handful, but as he's played as an SS, I'm far more concerned about the midfield given recent performances.

We have to dominate the midfield to have any chance, we have to get our passing-game mojo back. Parker and Modric will just dick all over us. I really can't see us dominating the midfield unless Modrid is missing.

[CynicalGooner]

van der Vaart is always an injury doubt but he always makes it and always f***ing scores. I can't remember looking forward to a home game against them less. I'd love to hark back to the old days when form really did go out the window in the derby's. After seeing that atrocity in Milan can you expect this team to get up for any game ever again?

Yeah that's Lawrie Wilson. Class payer. Not just a one off good game or anything.
