NLD - Arsenal v Tottenham - Sunday at noon

What's the deal with Santi? He on the bench at least?

Irishgunner

Good team, very happy with that.

They've got such a physical midfield, hope coq and xhaka can impose themselves.

As Qs said, it's early kick off for safety reasons; to stop excess drinking before the game.

Ridiculous reason, if anything people will be more drunk because they'll be in a rush before the game

Yeah I'm sure we've had a late kick off several times. I certainly have been to a 7:45 weekday kick off. Kick off time driven by TV channels.

Santi still injured yuv. Archilles

The Spurs team is physical centrally but with 2 not fully fit players. Their bench is funny as well

What? 😆 That's not how people work.

flobaba

People will drink regardless of start time

I'm on my second shot of Jim Beam, and it's not 530am here yet. It's just stupid.

Qwiss

Strong side and some good options off the bench.

Fewer people will be drunk if the game kicks off earlier. Some will still drink regardless , but the overall number is still reduced, which is the aim.

The English police have been dealing with this for a long time and they know what they're at. You always get more drunk people at late kick offs than early ones. Anyone who has been to the emirates for both would notice that.

Why do you constantly argue against facts?

Exactly. Most match going fans do the drinking in pubs, which wouldn't have been open as long when you kick off earlier .

Well if that's the case then fair enough, the Emirates seems to be completely different to any ground in Germany Spain or Italy. Here people just start drinking earlier, doesn't matter what time it is come kick off most will be drunk.

Then again as Shady mentions there are significant differences in drinking culture. The pubs that most fans here visit are open 20+ hours and of course we can drink both in public and on the terraces.

Good team. Need the boys to bring a real performance.

Klaus

Arsenal to win and Walcott and Özil to score today. Let's do this.

HomeSteak

Come on lads let's do this ! See you at half time, let's go ARSENAL !

GaelForce

My tube carriage was full of Spurs fans. Urgh. At the match now, think we'all win 2-0, though I'll be shitting myself if it's 0-0 at half-time. Also assuming there's no chance Kane can be fit... they really lack a goal threat from midfield.

Qwiss

The great thing about that front 4 is its very hard to focus on any one of them as they can all hurt you.

Fancy Theo for a goal too, he loves a derby.

Midfield needs to remain disciplined, if we lose a man we will lose. Spurs are too athelitc to cope with at 10 men.

Rex

Looks like they will play 3-4-3

jones

They're playing five at the back added to their already highly negative midfield. Need to score early and let them have the ball because they sure as shit don't know what to do with it.
