Can't argue with that. No matter how **** Spurs are, they always turn up against their bigger and better rivals. It's a bit like a cup final for them when they play us.
The key for me is the PL fixture we play before this game. We play Cardiff at home, while Spurs play United away. We can afford to potentially rotate a little against Cardiff, while they can't. Also, I suspect they are going to put in more effort and energy in their game. With this game as well being at home, I back us to win and I think Wenger HAS to be play his first team. Can't afford the risk of going out to the scum in the third round of the cup, would effect our league form and dent our title charge.
The little ****s Defoe and Lennon always pull out a performance against us. Doesn't matter what form they're in they'll give us a good game
Those fixtures bode well for us. Agreed also that we need to play a full strength team and I think Wenger will, he understands how important NLDs are, even if it is the FA cup
BBC Website: Tottenham have expressed their disappointment at a reduced allocation for the FA Cup third-round tie at Arsenal on 4 January. Spurs had applied for the maximum under the competition rules of 15% capacity, which is around 9,000 tickets. However, following "lengthy conversations" the White Hart Lane club were advised "on safety and security grounds, experienced at previous cup fixtures this season" that only 5,186 seats would be provided, which equates to around 8.64%. Piskie was you behind this?
