Spurs Preview 21 December, 2007
Posted by lasagnechef in Premiership.trackback

I’ve been so exited today about Arsenal vs. AC Milan I haven’t even thought about tomorrow’s North London Derby! I’ve just got off the expedia website booking my travel to Milano, I just need a ticket now! If anyone wants to give me one for Christmas that’d be nice.
Anyway, the Tottenham game. They’re doing alright at the moment, Ramos is doing an ok job since he’s joined and he’s brought the scum out of the relegation zone; not quite 4th, as they hoped, but bless. They might be doing well (in comparison to how they started), but we’re doing even better. We’ve just beaten Chelsea, we’ve just gone through to the Semi Finals in the Carling Cup (which will be against them) and we’ve got a fully fit squad.
I’m sure they wont be looking forward to this trip at all. Juande Ramos visited us earlier in the season with Seville and came away with a 3-0 loss; another one of those would do just nicely. I haven’t even thought about the possibility of losing this game; the idea of it is horrifying. However, something would have to go seriously wrong for us to not at least draw this game. After all, they’re a bottom-half of the table side.
I don’t know whether Wenger will go 4-5-1, 4-4-2 or even 4-4-1-1. He’s gone with a five-man midfield a few times recently but I think having two strikers would be better for this game. Spurs have defensive troubles at the moment and this could be exploited with a skilful partnership of Van Persie and Adebayor. Also, Eboue picked up a bad knee injury against Chelsea, but he’s managed to pass today’s fitness test. This is the team I’d go for anyway:

To be honest, I think we can embarrass Tottenham tomorrow afternoon. Just looking at that team…Fabregas, Flamini, Hleb, Adebayor and more…we just have far too much quality for them. I’m hoping for a very happy birthday and a 10-0 win. No, seriously, I’d guess at a 3-0 win, van Persie with two and Ade with the other.
Right, it’s 10:40pm, Friday night, and I’m still not at the pub. Plus I really don’t know what else to write. Enjoy the game tomorrow. Wish me a happy birthday too, if you want to come buy me a drink you’re more than welcome. Match report on Sunday, thanks for reading.






Happy Birthday and good job with the blog!
Will buy you a pint tomorrow, Chef.
Usual place?
Overconfidence will yield poor results. Ramos will be ready and goes into this derby with a clean slate. I suggest that we may even draw.
can’t wait to see clichy -vs- lennon.

We beat the fucking cunts
[...] in a North London Derby. Arsenal took the lead early in the second half through a Adebayor strike. Spurs equalized through Dimitar Berbatov when he scored from an almost impossible angle. Berbatov then [...]
where was van persie??? he wasn’t even on the subs bench. hope nothings wrong with him. adebayor keeps scoring even though he cant control a ball for his life but im guessing this is gona end soon so we need rvp up there banging in the goals again. bendtner looks great and wat a goal to win it
ahhh Blog Head, well there is always next month… …Atmosphere at the Grove was shite it felt like a game against a bottom of the table side not our arch enemies… …oh wait they are a bottom of the table side.
