What will the result be?

  1. Arsenal will win

    41.4%
  2. Spurs will win

    34.5%
  3. It will be a draw

    24.1%
  1. The NLD is looking like it's going to decide who wins the title, this season.

    Who would you lads like to win it?

    Who do you think will win it?

    Which side has been playing the best football?

    Which club has the best managers?

    Let's ramp up the excitement! But, please, let's cut out the wumming, eh? Thanks, lads.

    I think that regardless of this result Leicester will win it.

    When is the NLD?

    Strange, but they haven't kicked off today yet! Never mind, I'm sure they'll make up for it later.

    I've gone for the draw out of vested interest :) (and there was no 'both teams to lose' option)... in all fairness I think it is almost too close to call ... I don't think we would have lost yesterday but for the sending off (Arsenal's first shot on target was their first goal after the sending off) but that said they have some phenomenal players...as do Spurs

    Set up to be an excellent game and one that I would want to watch as a 'neutral' ...

    Hopefully it has a much better ref than Martin Atkinson who spoilt an intriguing contest yesterday IMHO ...

    Martin Atkinson is a dreadful ref.

    The water bottles will fly. Arms will be waved, the fourth official will need his eardrums replaced after the end of the game, and Whinger will probably suffer an apoplectic fit!

    The game itself will be close, maybe even a draw.

  9. I've gone for a Spurs win, but I would settle right now for a draw.

    The NLD is nerve-wrecking at the best of times, but this one is going to be the biggest match we've played against our local rivals for as long as I can remember.

    Think we will smash them. We have the bigger heart.

  11. I was immensely impressed with how we played at the Ethiad, yesterday. Like a lot of others, I was expecting £ity to smash us, but they didn't. Whilst I will not go as far as saying that it was an easy game for us, there were times during that match when we were imperious. Lamela coming on caused us to step up a gear, like a side worthy of winning the title. Who would have believed that we'd be lauding Lamela as a game-changer!

    What Poch has done with this squad is nothing short of miraculous.

    It was far from easy. That was one of City's better performances. Kompany returning made a massive positive influence in their defence. We suffocated them and choked the crowd into silence best suited for a library....anyway that reminds me..we are discussing the forthcoming NLD.

    Poch will have us well ready for this. Our hungry players will be too much. I just hope the ref does not fall for the theatrics of the Arsenal players.

    Gonna go for arsenal this time, due to another pasta-gate bottle job of some sort.

    Massive game, can't be overstated. Usually the NLD is our shoe in for 3 points and guaranteed bragging rights, but finally after two decades, Spurs finally look to like they might challenge to finish above us.

    The game will be a frantic affair I think with both teams pressing each other and I expect it to be played at a break neck pace. It could go either way to be honest, but I'm going for a score draw, either 1-1 or 2-2. Which ultimately will suit Leicester.

  19. A few have done so, already, Sucky, not just Spurs fans, either.

    Pixie has, no doubt, made a note of their names, and will be hoping to be able to call "wum fcuk-up" at the end of the season. He'll be hoping for a good "rinsing" of those voters.
