Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal - Matchday Thread

It's certainly far better than the reverse IMO - i.e Newcastle (H) then having to go to Goodison on the last day vs an Everton that need to stay up.

 

I think that away tie at Burnley for the spuds is a lot harder than the media are making out.

They’ve all had their cocks in the hands over Conte since last night, but Burnley are fighting for their lives too and have been very resilient since they made the decision to ditch Dyche

Can see both that game and ours against Newcastle ending up as draws, with it all coming down to the last day and who gets the better result

 

Spurs are playing at home to Burnley, not away. Hence why I expect Spurs to beat them. Burnley’s record away to Spurs is shockingly bad.

 

Arsenal are actually unlucky because Wilson and Trippier are both back to make their 1st starts in months plus wor flags are doing their biggest ever display to get the crowd going.

It won't be easy for Arsenal.

Only Liverpool have done us at home with this team and it wasn't full strength that day.

 

Yengot it the wrong way around. Norwich away last day. That’s basically a given

We need to win both of our games then

 

Yup, it’s going to be very difficult, no question. However, if we are desperate for that 4th spot, and want it more than Spurs, then we need to do everything in our power to ensure we leave your ground with 3 points.

I’m not expecting a good performance, but similar to the West Ham game, we need to find a way of grinding out a victory. By any means necessary.

 

Hire this guy

 

It would be a reflection of Arsenal’s season to beat Newcastle and Everton when everyone expect them to really have very hard matches. They beat Chelsea and United against the odds and I wouldn’t be surprised if they got the six points they need. Spurs on the other hand have hardly any pressure with the easiest fixtures you can imagine. 6 points in the bag.

Having said that, Newcastle will test the resilience and managerial skills of Arteta to the limit. With a depleted defence, the gunners will need to play at 100% to cope with a Newcastle team pushed by a very loud crowd to end the season with a win. The first goal will be key. If Arsenal score first they should have enough resilience to go on and win. If Newcastle score first, the crowd will be so excited and the atmosphere so electric that Arsenal will face waves of attacking football. Fascinating match in prospect.
