So much rides on the NLD whenever it's played but since 2010 they have been even worse.
It makes me laugh that some think we have a rivalry with West ham or Chelsea...this is THE match of the season.
The acceptability of results are...
1) A big win
2) A win coming from behind
3) A win of any kind
4) A draw coming from 2 behind
5) A draw coming from 1 behind
6) A draw after being 1 in front
7) A draw after being 2 in front
8) A draw of any kind
9) Losing but playing well
10) every other ****ing loss

NO other game get that level of scrutiny... you feel nervous for the whole week, sick during the match and either ecstatic, relieved or ****ing homicidal after...and tbh I ****ing hate the NLD...and Arsenal...and Woolwich Arsenal Train Station...and Scum Campbell ...and the colour red...

And we have 2 of the ****ers in 17 days <grr>

This could be me next season.

I almost feel sick already.

Yeah the nerves are ****ing awful. Anyway, you're from Woolwich homeboy so you should be a Gooner <whistle>
 
Think Sarri screwed up tactically.
Made changes way too late and had no answer to Dele, Kane, Son and Eriksen.

Your midfield was dominated by Sissoko ... can't imagine that sentence being said before this season!
But he was a beast.

I've already said I like Sarri, he's been one of the most likeable managers Chelsea have had in years and in general seems to be doing a great job, but the way he's managing Kante is weird. Seems to be trying to make the best DM in Europe play as a sort of attack minded CM, it allowed us to dominate that centre of the park with Sissoko while Alli, Eriksen and Son just had so much freedom to batter their defence as they had no protection.
 
Yep it'll be tasty for sure. We were very good against Liverpool at home and a bit unlucky not to win the game. Seems that Emery can get these players fired up for a big game, so I'm expecting some fireworks.

Always is.

It's the one derby a season that very rarely fails to disappoint the neutrals. Neither side plays for the draw which some other derbies occasionally do and so there's often loads of chances and excitement.

Exactly. <ok>

It's no where near the spiciest or fiercest but it's normally a good game more than the others.
