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

 

[MartiSaka]

most important question is who does arterta bring in for the pre-match team talk - the photographer again, or the kit man or canteen lady?

 

[glitchform]

much more of an important test than that non-event at utd. If we lose this, then the progress we've made will be insufficient relative to where we want to be.

Please lads do not start off arrogant and control the tempo of the game with precision (hard for an arsenal team I know.)

 

[Sapient Hawk]

It's the matchday I both love & dread. I want a win but, most of all, I never want a loss & especially to Sp**s at home.

If there's ever one club I love us to beat, either handsomely or through a stroke of good luck, it's these denizens of the shadow.

I, of course, am speaking of our shadows, from which they've unsuccessfully tried to extract themselves over the years.

They're led by a manager whose every bit as intransigent as our greatest ever was & will not countenance playing any style of football other than his turgid-yet-effective brand.

The onus is on us to take our chances & starve them of theirs.

We haven't lost since Harry Redknapp's chancers escaped with a last minute Kaboul header in 2010 & I'll be damned if we let the work of 12 good years fall to Conte's rabble!

Lets ****ing go!!! +3pts for the league leaders

 

[razörist]

Such a weird position to be in. We're sitting on top of the PL table and haven't missed a beat in Europe, behind only the EL powerhouse of Bodø/Glimt.

And yet I'm feeling a sense of foreboding. Because our squad feels young and super thin and injury prone, and now we have 13 games in 43 days including Sp**s, Liverpool, Chelsea, and PSV twice.

After this month and a half, we're either top 3 and sailing through the EL group stage, or our season is hanging by a thread.

Either way it's going to be emotional.

Mentioning psv lol

 

[razörist]

We’ll come out guns blazing, they’ll be 3-0 down before they know what hit them and we’re gonna be rewatching clips all weekend.

 

[Beany]

Off to the Tollington at 10.00 for a pre match pInt…

3-1 to us,of course.

let’s kick the ****ers right in the gooch.

 

[HollandGooner]

I am worried about today tbf. just the United game as an example.
Hopefully we have learn from that and we whoop Sp**s.

 

[SA Gunner]

Chance I might miss the game, something's come up that I need to attend to. Hoping to get early notifications of our goals while on the move. COYG!

Enjoy the game today mate. Let me know if you bump into @say sorry !

Think these players are absolutely key today if we want to win:

 

[Sapient Hawk]

I want the Ashburton Army to will the team on for 90+ minutes and let the Sp**s supporters they have no presence in this match!! If they even falter for a moment, those black-clad fu*kers will have to answer to me.

Just listening to ‘The rest is politics’ podcast with Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell and even with all the **** going on with Truss and Kwarteng, they‘re both boasting about having met Arsène Wenger

Why do people get drunk before a football game?

Functioning alcoholics to be blunt, I think people use football as an excuse. I always found it mad ones doing jagerbombs on the train at 9:30 am going up to an away game.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I've got to set off at 2 so hopefully we'll be 3-0 by that stage like last year.

No one cares you have plans on a Saturday while I’m going to sloth on my sofa watching football all day and talking to internet losers.

I don’t wanna hear it.
