    We are still good a home and a difficult team to beat. God knows how our morale will be like going into this game though and will Arsene be able to suitably Gee them up? We really haven't been very good this season and playing one of the best teams in the league at this point could be disastrous. But who knows we might be inspired to go onto to win.....

    Im going for a realistic 3-1 spurs win :(

    This is NOT a make or break game - heard that far too often this season.
    AW should not need to gee the players up for this game.

    A boring draw I think.

    To be honest, this is Spurs's best chance to beat us at home and beat us well. In fact, they could really embarass us if we don't step it up majorly on Sunday. The garbage we've been playing recently will not work on Spurs. We got battered by a decent but not brilliant AC Milan team. Spurs is playing better than them in my opinion and if Adebarndoor finds the net, our heads will start dropping very quick....I just hope we go out out their all guns blazing!

    Are you nuts? If we lose and lose bad, our season will drop faster than a obese person finding a donut on the floor.....

    Yes I am nuts, but it still isn't a make or break game. It is very important, but losing does not end our season.

    Stevenage played with full blood and guts. I watched the game and was really impressed the way they took it to spurs and played their hearts out. I can't remember the last time we did that.....

    I hope not but with Liverpool, Chelsea and even Newcastle breathing down our necks, we need a good result. Remember, it is about team morale also, we are already quite low on morale and losing against the enemy at home will only work against us....

    We are not a team of 'blood & guts' type players. We are, when playing to our full ability, a team of thoroughbreds. We dance around the neanderthals and making them look like the clumsy hoofers that they are.

    Let's hope we are close to 80% of our game on Sunday. That will be more than enough to see off the Spud one season wonders :)

    We dont though. That was pre 2009. Now every team attacks us because we suck. It used to be that manure and such team sat back and defended. Now they play 4-4-2 with attacking wingers. We arent feared anymore because we dont have good footballers anymore.

    Having said that I think we will roll the dirty spuds over. 3-1 imo.

    Do you deliberately ignore the rest of the post so as to justify taking it out of context and attacking the team/club? <grr>

    It seems most of you guys expect a Spurs win!!!

    I think we are playing better at the moment but form really does go out of the window in the NLD. I think it will be a very exciting game as we definately play our best football when teams are set up to attack us (look what happened to Newcastle).

    If this was at the lane I would be very confident but my head says score draw!!!

    WUM - who asked for blood and guts? - a little PASSION would be good.
    When do we play to our full potential ?- its a distant memory.
    Dismissing teams who seem to be able to beat us as - 'neanderthals and making them look like the clumsy hoofers' is just plain idiotic.
    The Spuds may not be a one season wonder. However, lets hope so.

    you cant even debate amongst yourselves and be realistic...

    we have a good away victories record this season Lazarus.

    As for against Stevenage..if we put out that team against Stevenage against your lot then yes maybe a draw is looking good for you...dont forget though...Stevenage have got balls...something Arsenal lack

    As for the one season wonders by some of you...actually id say its bout the 3rd or 4th season where obvious improvements have taken place and we have overtaken you as a team on the up.


    i thought id say that...now carry on talking bolox...in a bit<ok>
