Woo can't wait. Have a funny feeling about it really. We're still shipping in goals, and Spurs aren't wholly bad this year. Wenger I don't think has lost to them in the league yet, maybe tomorrow is the time.

Isnt Defoe out and Crouch in? I hate Crouch playing seems to always score against us no matter what team he plays for. Might put a bet on him just to jinx him lol

I can see a few goals in this game, should be good.
 
No idea how the game will go tbh, with probably Bentley in, he'll probably get a hattrick, then start the next 10 games because of the goals, and be utterly woeful against everyone else.

No Defoe is a big help for us, have to see who plays, you guys should play Jenas, someone extra willing to run late into the box is how we screw up every game. Please dear god, let Diaby be dropped finally, highly doubt it though.

Think Fulham can get a result, maybe even quite easily with likely no Gerrard, Johnson or Aquilani.

Bolton will be looking for a little revenge against Chelsea but can't see anything but a Chelsea drubbing, likewise Utd will almost certainly get some confidence back by getting spanked by Utd. Blackburn have joint highest conceded in the league, let in 6 vs us, 5 against Chelsea. Utd could do with Berbs and Owen starting, get both some goals, confidence and a partnership.

Well done for keeping your hate compaign just to Diaby, I really expected you to throw some punches at Denilson and Song. ;)
 
There's gonna be at least 9 goals at the Emirates I just hope Arsenal don't concede more than 4. Whatever the case, it could be an amazing game, I think the little Russian is going to have a Liverpool-esque game too
 
Likely 11, with 3 of Spurs top players out (Defoe, Modric and Lennon all missing) it is easy to be negative, but as a positive this could be the first game where we see Woodgate and King play together.

Gomes
Corluka King Woodgate Assou-Ekotto
Bentley Palacios Huddlestone Kranjcar
Crouch Keane

Which leaves Jenas, Pavluchenko and Naughton or Bale to be the subs I can see coming on and making an impact.

In seasons past, losing 3 of our most potent attacking options I would be feeling like we had no chance. However our squad depth sees the likes of Bentley to come in and hopefully do a repeat of last years awesome goal. Hopefully Bentley's delivery should find Crouch, and we can bank on him causing aerial problems to Gallas and Vermaelen who are both only 6ft (will he trust Senderos for such a high profile game?).

Should be a great game, however going against a lot of predictions I don't think we'll see a repeat of the ultra high scoring pandemonium of last year.

I almost don't dare a prediction but I'll go with 2-2. Crouch and Kranjcar with the goals for Spurs. If King and Woodgate do in fact both start then I wouldn't bet against Spurs getting a very rare clean sheet and stealing a 1-0 win. 1-0 to the Arrr....erm Tottenham. ;)

Tottenham havent beaten us for 16 yrs in the league according to what SSN is reporting.

But today i have a funny feeling that we might end up losing as we cant seem to hold onto a lead...the last 2 games we have ended up getting draws in the last few mins which i think is worrying as it shows our defence is utter rubbish and we lack concentration.

But saying that i hope Wenger has battered it into their skulls that they cant afford to drop points and to keep concentration otherwise we end up with a draw or a loss...hopefully Arsenal will smash 5 goals past the Spurs...nothing would please me more to see Tottenham and that smug git Redknapp smiles wiped off their faces:D.

I'll go with a draw to be on the safe side but secretly hoping we do win.
 
Wow Bentley getting away with a deliberate handball and then a nasty tackle on Verminator...should have been on a 2nd yellow...

Good solid start by Arsenal though...hopefully a goal will come soon enough.
