Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Woolwich have provided us with a lot of laughs in recent years but sadly they're in a much better place than we are right now. The genuinely have some good to brilliant young players in Smith Rowe, Saka, Odegaard, Ramsdale, Martinelli, Lokonga and Tavares.

I do feel was as Woolwich supporters give Sp**s far to much attention. At games; a significant portion of our chants reference them, it's a bit embarassing to be honest. It's all over social media as well. Gooners claim Woolwich are such a bigger club than Sp**s (we are), yet a load of us can't ever seem to keep them out of our mouths, it makes them relevant.

This isn't in relation to the Conte news btw, that is something worth discussing, just more of an overarching observation.
Gooners are way to obsessed with Sp**s, almost as cringy as <removed>s pre match chanting…….

Their, what do you think of Tottenham one is the best, it's not even a chant, it relies on one 16yr old kid whose voice is still breaking to lead it, which means absolutely no one, including themselves can, in reality hear it. Those that are sat within 2 seats around him, so no more than 8 other squeaky-voiced pups then reply with "shit", by which time the other 47 people around them join in with "we hate Tottenham".

They have now of course got a new one, one that is sung as literally their only song should they be bothered.
 
From BBC Sport:

Watford manager Claudio Ranieri accused Woolwich's players of showing a lack of respect as the Gunners claimed a narrow victory in manager Mikel Arteta's 100th match in charge.

The in-form Emile Smith Rowe scored in a third successive Premier League game, sending Woolwich up to fifth in the table with a low drive from outside the box after 56 minutes.
However, prior to the goal Watford had put the ball out of play due to an injury and the hosts chose not to return possession from the resulting throw-in.


Class is permanent

I thought there was a foul on a Watford player as well, before the shot on goal.

Arteta had a slow start, but they are now saying his figures are better than Wengers.
 
Just a quick word on these cunts, because you will hear a few insufferable gooners start piping up...

They have played against 5 teams in the top half of the table, winning one. That was against a woeful Spurs under Nuno.

They got battered by Man City and Chelsea. They got played off the park by Palace and scraped a draw in the last minute. They got played off the park by Brighton and got a 0-0 because Brighton couldn't finish.

They have been on a nice little run, 8 unbeaten in the league, winning 6. But look a bit closer, they have 1-0 wins against Burnley, Watford and Norwich, 3 of the worst teams in the division. They beat Villa 3-1, who are that bad at the minute that even Nuno's Spurs looked half-decent and beat them. The only result of real note was the away win at Leicester, but even Leicester are a bit out of sorts at the moment.

3 of the next 4 league games for Woolwich are away: Liverpool (a), Newcastle (h), Man Utd (a), Everton (a).

I can guarantee that after that little run, we will go above them in the league and all their melt fans will be "Arteta out! Why didn't we get Conte?!"

Just you watch...

100%

There is only one thing that I worry about with them and that is they are out of all European competition, this is a big factor in their favour, not so much about injuries and fatigue but more to do with preparation, having a week to prepare for a game when the team are young is a significant boost.

That said, a little leveller might be the impact of the African Cup of Nations which runs for 2 months across Jan to Feb and they will be without; Thomas Partey (Ghana), Mohamed Elneny (Egypt), Pierre Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon), Nicolas Pepe (Ivory Coast). Now Elneny is a championship level player and Pepe is one of the biggest jokes masquerading as a forward but this is a crunch time of year when the rotation of players is important of the back of a busy Christmas schedule.

(Chavs will miss: Edouard Mendy (Senegal), Hakim Ziyech (Morocco). Leicester: Daniel Amartey (Ghana), Nampalys Mendy (Senegal), Wilfred Ndidi (Nigeria), Kelechi Iheanacho (Nigeria). Liverpool: Mohamed Salah (Egypt), Naby Keita (Guinea), Sadio Mane (Senegal). Man U: Eric Bailly (Ivory Coast), Amad Diallo (Ivory Coast). Spurs: None)
