Arsenal vs Tottenham 5-2 Goals Highlights 2012 Walcott Van Persie Adebayor Rosicky Bale Sagna Spurs

Sorry, Spurs fans. You'll have to wait yet another year to attempt a league double over Arsenal,
with the Gunners putting their neigbours to the sword with a superb 5-2 fightback at the Emirates
Stadium today.
The game continued the goal-crazy trend for games between the big sides in the Premier League
this season, with Arsenal turning on the style and showing great character after going two goals
down.
Be great if he scored!...Liverpool welcome Tottenham to Anfield
Monday night as they look to continue their good run of form and pick up some more points in the
League. With Luis Suarez completing his ban, the Anfield faithful can't wait to see him back on the
pitch, an extra threat for Spurs to be aware of.
Last night, a string of abusive tweets towards Arsenal fans started appearing on Adebayor's
official verified twitter account. Was he feeling the love of Valentines day and sharing it with
Arsenal fans? Sick of the abuse from Arsenal fans and getting his own back? Drunk and stoking the
flames ahead of the North London Derby?

Tottenham yesterday saw both Roman Pavlyuchenko and Steven Pienaar leave White Hart Lane for
Lokomotiv Moscow and Everton respectfully. Both moves do not come as a surprise, in fact if
anything, they were both overdue.
After having been linked with a move away from Tottenham for quite some time, Pavyluchenko
finally made the switch to Lokomotiv for a reported £8 million.
THFC1882 presents guest writer Kenny Palmer's report of Tottenham Hotspur
versus Wigan:
A man of the match performance by Gareth Bale against obliging opponents Wigan helped reignite
Spurs title challenge, as they now sit just five points behind the Manchester clubs following the
leaders City's defeat to Everton.

According to Castrol EDGE Performance analysis, both Manchester United and
Chelsea's wingers have been key to both club's positive play this season, with Antonio Valencia,
Nani, Juan Mata and Daniel Sturridge all enjoying impressive campaigns.

Liverpool and Tottenham: Both Clubs Fail to Dare and To Do.
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur drew 0-0 at Anfield, in a tight Premier League encounter that
neither team wanted to lose, or seemed determined enough to try and win.
It was all slightly akin to a chess game, n'est ce pas? And not one of those awesome
chess games either, in which one lad loses his rag somewhat, dashes the pieces across the board and
clobbers his opponent with the clock, leading to a mass brawl involving spectators and allsorts.
This was one of those chess games in which white thoughtfully strokes his chin for a good seven or
eight minutes, before moving his bishop a few diagonals backwards whence he came, prompting black
to ponder for four minutes himself, hover his hand over his queen, retract hand, ponder some more,
and then move his knight back into its starting position.
Another huge weekend as the race at the top tightens and the England managerial role remains
vacant. Let's focus on club over country for now, though, and preview this week's best potential
fantasy performers... I. Liverpool @ Manchester United: Huge. ... Continue reading →
The big news ahead of this evening's game is that Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon are back in
contention and with Rafael van der Vaart ruled out, both could play from the start.
"Jermain has trained okay in the last couple of days and Aaron Lennon as well, he's coming back,
he's looked sharp," said Harry on Friday.
We were in our places a few minutes earlier than usual, standing not sitting, hopping around not
so much to stave off the bitter cold, more in excited anticipation. Even the veterans haven't seen
anything like this.
The players had a prematch kickabout, the mascot's nervous pride shone through as they found a
hero to play with, but all eyes were on the tunnel.
Casual lobotomy is one of my less typical weekend pursuits, but I'm willing to hazard that were
one to pluck out the respective brains of BAE and Scott Parker, the two would be as dissimilar as
medically possible. At one point in the second half yesterday I'm fairly sure Benny executed a
scorpion kick, seemingly just to pass the time.

Newcastle looked hopeless in that first half on Saturday at White Hart Lane. Mike Williamson
challenging Adebayor on Saturday And it showed in the score-line, when Newcastle were trailing
4-0 after just 34 minutes, and we wondered how many goals Newcastle would concede before
they woke up, came to their senses, and started to defend like we know they can.
Goal train? Sorry Jimmy I thought you said'Newcastle coal train' Editorial by JimmyG2 What fools
I have to work with. ( Memo: advertise for a new picture editor.) Welcome to this Celebratory
Edition designed for you to cut out and paste. What a week. I'm almost speechless after Saturday's
performance which is not the best condition in which to write a blog.
Emmanuel Adebayor was forced to call on Emmanuel Frimpong to help him out in an ongoing row with
Arsenal fans on Twitter last night.
Adebayor was tweeting all sorts of nonsense but took a fair amount of stick from Gooners and
eventually made the pleae to Frimpers to get the supporters off his back.
One of the more exciting Round-of-16 Champions League fixtures takes place
tonight... (Thank the sweet Lords!) between Arsenal and AC
Milan at the San Siro. This is the type of match you'd wait two months for, although
statistically speaking, Arsenal have done better in their last last six visits to Italy (they won
four).

Champions League, 1st Leg: AC Milan vs Arsenal at the San Siro @ 2:45 EST
Three positions where the Gunners face unpredictability are at left back, attacking midfield,
and down the wings.
Left back: The most vexing decision is at left back where Wenger has Kieran
Gibbs available after months away with an injury.
Arsène Wenger has never seen so much pressure from his own fans. His ability to manage this
Arsenal team is being questioned, and according to some, he is losing his grip on the modern
game. But is he the only one to blame?
The year 2006/07 saw a major introduction into the Arsenal unit.
Arsenal defenders Johan Djourou and Carl Jenkison are convinced that despite Tottenham's
10-point lead over their side thus far, the Gunners still have an opportunity to overturn the
deficit and prove themselves as the best side in London.
The Gunners are currently fourth in the table, virtue of a better head-to-head record over
Chelsea, who have endured an unusually disappointing campaign.
At the start of the week, injury concerns were held over from Sunday's game at Stevenage after
Adebayor, Modric and BAE were all late withdrawals. At the time, Harry was concerned for this
weekend's match but as the week has progressed, many of the doubts seem to have eased.
Firstly, Rafael van der Vaart announced that he was winning his own fitness race before Ade
tweeted that he also expected to return.
Before I start on the match preview, I just wanted to formalise what you've probably already
heard. I have taken over the running of THFC1882.com and would like to acknowledge all the hard
work Stuart put into the site and what a great job he did! It's a great opportunity and I'm
looking forward to getting some interesting topics out there.
The one that got the ball roling
He's 5 foot 4, He's 5 foot 4, Thank you Arshavin, ...... Adebayor
Is one of the many variations of the song that would probably get some time during the derby
tomorrow. Andrey Arshavin has returned to Zenit St Petersburg on loan until the rest of the season
and we have probably seen the last of seen in an Arsenal shirt.
Times a-changing? Keep up - they've already a-changed. ‘Tis now generally agreed, either
publicly or otherwise, that Tottenham are the best team in North London; the "St Tottingham's Day"
bet with my Arse-supporting chum Hawthy is fast becoming redundant; and following the weekly
toasting of our own latest bravura successes we lilywhites as a regular side-note are also able to
amuse ourselves by sniggering at the ongoing and quite spectacular implosion of that ‘orrible lot
down the road.
Where will Tottenham's threat come from today? by SV The North London derby is upon us and, for the
perhaps the first time in about 15 years, we are being wholly dubbed as underdogs. I can see why
these claims arise, as Tottenham have (let's face it) a quality side, but where does their threat

Ominous start for Arsenal as they go to sleep characteristically to allow Louis Saha to romp
ahead and score a deflected goal. Shockingly poor defending by Thomas Vermaelen. Then Gareth Bale
bulldozes his way past Kieran Gibbs and Vermaelen and is brought down by Wojciech Szczesny.
Adebayor takes the PK and it is 2-0 to the Spurs.
Awkward. Maybe we should begin at the beginning...
The Glorious First Five Minutes
Ah, ‘twas a pleasure to be a Tottenham fan. Our heroes produced some ovely stuff. Swift, slick
passing; patient but pacey; sideways if necessary but probing forward whenever opportunity even
threatened to knock.

Well, that was quite a game. A poor start was followed by an absolute rout, and the only
disappointment by the end was that we didn't put six past spurs. Thoughts as follows:
* I'm not going to lie - I was bemused by the team selection when I first saw it. I was fully
expecting Gervinho to play, and was hoping to see the Ox as well.
London will never be white or blue, it'll always be Red. by KJ What a game! It was exhilarating,
brilliant but unexpected. I didn't really think we'd put 5 past a Spurs team hailed as the best in
half a century. The build-up was intense. The whole concept of the shift in power from the [...]
