Spurs trash talk ridiculed in 11 seconds & Why our fans should take a bow

Gunners Today 01 November @ 07:00 AM EST

Hello to all of you reading this on a Sunday or Monday or maybe even 3 years time when you are caught reminiscing about this game making it 20 games unbeaten against Spurs.

Like the title says, 11 seconds, that is all it took for Spurs to crumble and fall to the knees (literally when Cesc went past half of the Spurs team for his goal).

suggest your own headline on our NLD win

Gunners Today 31 October @ 06:03 PM EST

Match thoughts on our result will follow shortly but here's a unique opportunity? to suggest your own headline on our win. If you suggest I'm devoid of imagination yes this is partially true but I'll tell you where I'm stuck or give you suggestions as a base to get this thing started.

You could focus the headline on.

NLD - We did bad

The Boys From White Hart Lane 31 October @ 04:36 PM EST
That could have gone better. But I'll stand by my previous comments; Arsenal fans are generally morons.
Essentially, we did badly. We did very badly indeed. But up until about 40 minutes in, it was looking like a very close gig. We were defending both in numbers and extremely competently. Apart from one or two hairy moments, Ledley King and Seb Bassong were doing a more than adequate job. Click to continue reading...

Cesc Fabregas Claims the Armband

EPL Talk 31 October @ 01:11 PM EST

Every summer sees rampant speculation that Barcelona will finally pull Cesc Fabregas away from Arsenal. Â In the lead up to Saturday's North London Derby, even former Gunner Emmanuel Adebayor once again fueled rumors by saying that if Arsenal fail to qualify for the Champions League, then Fabregas will be on his way to Catalunya come summer.

Pride

The Boys From White Hart Lane 31 October @ 07:19 AM EST
I'll keep this very brief.
I don't care what they've achieved recently or in the past. I don't care how much better they are than us. I don't care how big their stadium is or how illustrious their manager is. I don't care what players they've got or whether their better than ours or not.
The truth is they're a bunch of cheating, arrogant, whining Frenchmen and no matter the score today or any other day, we will always, always be the pride of North London. Click to continue reading...

Wenger vs Harry Part 1

Arsenal View From a Gooner 31 October @ 06:37 AM EST

Bendtner to repeat this act?

As an Arsenal fan, today is the day we wait with abated breath. This is the first fixture I look for whenever the new season kicks-off. For Gooners, it comes no bigger than the North London Derby. Spurs visit Ashburton Grove looking to find the first league victory over Wenger.

No better time to get it right, prove them wrong & A couple of personal memories of Spurs fans I’ve met

Gunners Today 30 October @ 01:46 PM EST

Hello Gooners. Hope you are all well this friday. Don't know about you but I am super pumped up for this north london Derby. Not that I wasn't pumped for it all these years....

..Living in a place about 200 miles from North london, it used to be pretty hard to develop that aversion for Spurs.

David Bentley urged to show his balls against Arsenal

Off the Post 30 October @ 05:13 AM EST
Harry Redknapp demands to see his player's numerous testicles Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has revealed that David Bentley has several balls and is now urging his player to flash them around the Emirates Stadium tomorrow. In his column in The Sun, Redknapp dictated: "There's no doubt Bentley has balls - plenty of 'em - and his performance [. Click to continue reading...

October 31st. North London Derby.

Seven Sisters Road 29 October @ 02:06 PM EST

This Saturday will once again see another North London derby. A fixture which is one of my favourite throughout the year and yet at the same time one that I dread the most. For the last 10 years, Arsenal have been the favourite to win the derby which means that anything less than this feels like a victory for Spurs.

Freedom of the press

The Boys From White Hart Lane 29 October @ 10:08 AM EST
As an ardent Tottenham fan and journalistic pretender, a piece on The Telegraph's website today wrangled with me for numerous reasons.
As part of the 'Daily Bung' segment, writer Mike Norrish (on evidence of this, a Spurs-hating, subjective fool) has spewed out the most ridiculous and contradictory piece on why Tottenham will probably lose the North London Derby on Saturday. Click to continue reading...

How to lose points and alienate people

The Boys From White Hart Lane 25 October @ 11:24 AM EST
Ah. Didn't see that one coming at all. Batter a team and lose to a late goal? How typically Tottenham.
Now that I've had a day to stew over it, the effect's of yesterday's cruel defeat to Stoke are now in plain sight. We hammered them for 80 odd minutes and achieved absolutely nothing. And one defensive slip cost us. Click to continue reading...

When Tottenham said the Arsenal match was going to be hard…

Off the Post 06 February @ 10:18 AM EST
...we didn't know this was what they had in mind! Derby matches can often be occasions for a rush of blood to the head, but in Robbie Keane and David Bentley's case the blood seems to have rushed elsewhere. The Spurs pair seem to be enjoying the pre-match preparation despite Harry Redknapp's squad being down to [. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal fans get derby tickets on the cheap after Tottenham cock-up

Off the Post 02 February @ 03:17 AM EST
Spurs do themselves out of tens of thousands of pounds The words 'Tottenham Hotspur' and 'blunder' are becoming synonymous this season, but this mistake is spectacular even by Spurs' high standards. The club told Arsenal that away tickets for next week's north London derby should be sold at £37. Gooners gleefully snapped up their 3,500 ticket allocation [. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal vs Tottenham, post-match thoughts: Time for changes, here’s my line-up

The Gunning Hawk 29 October @ 06:34 PM EST
Those of you who read my blog will wonder why I didn't post the regular positive/negative post. Well believe me, I'd rather not. Also, the reason why I'm posting the post-match thoughts straight after the match is that I won't be available tomorrow. Yesterday's 4-4 draw against Spurs sums up the season pretty much nicely and [. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal vs Tottenham: 4-4, full-time report and player ratings - it can’t get any worse

The Gunning Hawk 29 October @ 05:13 PM EST
The scene of William Gallas leaving the pitch cursing in French(I presume) is so much last season's anthic against Birmingham and like that match, today's can easily be a turning point into the season. And I tell you some, how on earth we're only six points from the top is by far beyond me. It was [. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal vs Tottenham: Team line-ups(Adebayor and Denilson back) and half time report

The Gunning Hawk 29 October @ 02:43 PM EST
Line-ups Two changes by Arsene Wenger for tonight's North London derby with Emmanuel Adebayor back upfront in place of Nicklas Bendtner and Denilson taking back his position with Song relegated on the bench, a decision I definitely not agree with. Arsene Wenger said before the match: I believe what is important is how well Arsenal will play and [. Click to continue reading...

Tottenham 1, Arsenal 3: a couple of sick goals

Football is for the Madman 15 September @ 11:07 AM EST
You can see Gareth Bale's nasty free kick here. The last two goals by Fabregas and Adebayor are just ridiculous.
The first one is a header by Adebayor from a Fabregas free kick.
Fabregas' stunner.
Not to be undone, Adebayor with a superb blast.
