The bastards have done that twice. At least that is unlikely to happen again in the foreseeable. If I've RCLd that I will retire to the study with a revolver and a large glass of whisky.
It's a weird one, this. Wouldn't have felt this way had it been played when it was meant to be played but the TV men so obviously delayed rescheduling it until the time it would produce the greatest possible spectacle. Looking back, the NLD hasn't felt this significant in years. For a long while we were miles ahead of them in the league anyway and I almost felt sorry for them, then for a few years it was basically two ****e midtable sides muddling along in a vague semblance of elite level football. The fixture hasn't carried this much weight in at least 5-6 years, which is mad when you think about it.
True. I guess I just don’t give a **** about Arsenal. We’ve had too many of our own problems over the last few years, which is one of the reasons they are where they are. 10 games more with Conte instead of Nuno and we’d be in a totally different situation.
I am feeling remarkably relaxed about the game tonight, whether that is still the case by Kick off time we will have to wait and see. However relaxed doesn't equate to confident, I am delighted that we have already guaranteed fifth because we can't **** that up. But make no mistake tonight is massive and we just don't do massive games. Since the turn of the century we have turned up when it really matters a dozen times at the most, league cup finals, a couple for league cup semis, at City under Harry (to qualify for ECL), and in the run to champions league final. Add Paul Tierney and Arsenal into the equation and we aint winning tonight. I hope that I am wrong but I am expecting a frustrating evening where we create very little and the goons get at least a draw.
Ouch! Sounds like an idea for a new take on an old game though. "This evening dragons I am asking for a 10% investment in my company to produce Innuendo Cluedo".
Hijacking the thread a bit, but I do like that game (not your perv version, the original is perverted enough depending on who is playing). My group has found that "vikings" can be the answer to many situations.
I'll be at Chris Rock so missing it which is a shame. The only result I can't see is an Arsenal win. Will be interesting to see what lineup Arteta picks, I think he'd be made not to pick Saka and Martinelli because they can cause you real problems on the flanks. Kane and Son need big performances today and if they do you'll probably win.
Feel sick...hate NLD day ... nothing is as bad to lose or as great to win other than a trophy. I am calm about not getting top 4 as we lost it with the Brighton and Brentford games imo but losing to them is like being kicked...in the balls...with steel toe caps... with rusty razor blades on the tips...then having salt poured on the injury... I once stapled my finger to a table ... would rather spend the night doing that repetitively than endure watching the NLD!!!!
Saw somebody (probably a wannabe ITK) claim Cuti has a hip issue and needs a painkilling injection to get through the game Are we sure it's not the strain of having Robertson in his pocket on Sunday?
I missed a Spurs vs Arsenal game to watch Chris Rock at Hammersmith Apollo in 2008 I think. Spurs won 5-1 so hope that happens again
Hope all those there have a great night! Hope all those watching on TV don't end up putting the foot through it. Hope spurs put in a great performance. Hope we win. It's the fecking Hope that kills us Did I mention I hate NLD day?
