Win Premier League: Arsenal 3 - 1 Tottenham Hotspurs | Saturday 1st, October | KO: 12:30 | BT Sport

This is really massive. A win is a must imo. These sort of games, performance usually matters. It's the results that matter.

Arteta will have to learn from his mistakes at Old Trafford. We know the sort of threat Sp**s carry. Their midfield is dogshit. They have Royal, Sanchez, Dier and Sessengnon in their back five.

They'll put 10 men behind the ball and wait for a chink to appear in our amour and they'll exploit it ruthlessly and Son has just come back to form right in time for the derby.

We should have all our players back for this (save for Elneny) barring an injuries in the international break.

Lineup

I think it will be the same lineup vs Brentford tbh.

Prediction
Arsenal 2-0 Sp**s

Last year to get UCL place?

‘Win’. That was a massive one to lose

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I dont think we lose them for atleast another contract.

I want them to stay here until thier mid 20's at this point they free to leave if they want new challenge but we need those 3 around for 4-5 more years

If Xhaka got a red card for that tackle, nobody in football would be saying its not a red.

But because it's someone else, there's an uproar against it.

North London is as always Red! In most parts of the game, we destroyed the chickens. Saka, Partey, Saliba Martinelli we're absolutely fantastic. This team has been the best since 2007/08. Every time Arteta proves haters wrong, I love it. My man Xhaka again on the score-sheet. Love this guy. A truly transformed player. Saliba is going to be a very special player. Need to sign da thing. Top of the league! Bring on Liverpool

Jesus and Xhaka with very calm interviews post match. The training has given them the belief. Neither smiling and quite robotic but I like this steely determination. Jesus says he's happy and they dissolve in to smiles when he gives Xhaka the MOTM award

 

[Malky]

Good stuff. Sp**s were pretty bad

They always are. They’re entire game plan is give up possession and hit a team on the counter. They’re entire team is carried by their front 3. Every other area of the pitch they’re poor, even squad depth is ****.

I’ve seen far more yellows than reds handed out for those type of challenges, but they are red card offences.

 

[ThisFather]

'game's been ruined' - says someone regarding the red card

yet when its us, we're the bad guys trying to break legs

 

[SA Gunner]

So lets wait and see why Arsenal are still in a false position.

Guess its the Liverpool game next week that will be the real test.

 

[TheGreatWright8]

Ref scammed us out of a penalty, no where near a yellow for Saliba

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Cesc bigging up Saliba. He says an ex scout told him to watch Saliba three years ago and Cesc says that he was great then. We must tie him down.

 

[yorch44]

If we win every match from this point we are champions. So it's is our hands. Next week it's time to put on the floor those injected and doped Liverpool players. Klopp better get a new type of drug for them if he wants to save the match.

 

[Fabregasm]

I almost forgotten Son even played today..... He probably touched the ball not more than 5 times

 

[BaZZe]

Are we going to talk about "world class CB" Romero for our 2nd and 3rd?

[Taneruit]

I also want to shout-out @Oxeki for his matchday thread redemption arc.

Brilliant poster.

So you expecting the team to go on a 30 matches winning run?

Dont worry, we will.

That was the most important North London derby win that I can remember in a long time

We've been beating them at home for years and years, it's normal to win these games ,this one no more important than last year's..
