Nothing negative about it. Just another normal Saturday stroll in the park against 'you lot' on our track. It's Sundays that **** us up against you. That and November and Mike Dean reffing...........oh, hang on..
I can’t remember us going into an NLD with such low expectations before. Spurs are the form side, so if they win I’m going to pretend that i knew that would happen all along. If we win though I will run their grubby little noses in the **** for as long as I can Personally I think it will be a draw.
You lot have only lost 1 NLD at home since 1993...you are therefore the form team and are the ones with everything to lose...and the refs always favour you at the Emirates... that's gonna be my mantra tomorrow from 2.30 onwards Oh and **** THE LOT OF YER
You do know the ref is Mike dean right? The guy who celebrates when spurs scores! So I don't expect any favors from him.
We’ll win against the Spuds and then go back to losing against relegation fodder the following week. Quote me.

2-0. HT. We've been the better side overall and on the whole, I reckon we do deserve to be winning. I would strongly suggest we take Xhaka off because he is a liability and given how clumsy he is at tackling as it is, him on a yellow already is not a good sign. A player of ours getting sent off will give them a massive psychological boost. I've been impressed with our pressing, positioning and energy, begs the question why we don't do this every week. The front three have been really sharp. Ramsey's tenacity and creativity has been impressive. Apart from a few scares at the beginning of the game, we have been solid at the back. We've recovered well whenever we've lost the ball in dangerous positions, and have intercepted the final balls when they've countered. We got lucky with the first goal (not a foul on Sanchez + Mustafi marginally offside), but I also feel that Vertonghen went down softly in the opening 10 minutes when he & Ozil were competing for the ball in Spurs' penalty area. I'm not saying these decisions even themselves out over the course of a season because they don't, but these things happen. Spurs should have defended the set-piece better as well. Happy to be winning 2-0 and we're performing better than expected.... ...But history against these lot tells me to not get overly excited until the FT whistle blows! More of the same in the second half, please!
Between us being **** and Mike Dean signing for you lot this game is dead and buried. Will be 3 or 4 nil...we never respond well to injustices we just lose the plot
