I can't stand that tit and that channel.
as long as its spurs i don't really care, can't disagree with the lad!
Man up, you fucking pussies. If we're going to win the league, we need to not worry about shit teams like this.
It'll be like taking candy from a baby - fucking bring it!

Is it over yet?
Sure does sound like some gamesmanship by Poch, doesn't it?
My gutt instinct is this will end 1-1 because of fatigue.really need to make the home advantage count.
I'll be honest. I would take the draw now. I hate these games. So much anxiety. We are clearly the better team. The form team etc. But a draw consigns these cunts ever lower to a dogfight for 4th and form and abilities mean nothing in these games as you well know.
That said. I want to see a Kane hatrick. A Rose screamer and an injury to Reg. Give those little mites in his cellar a night off whilst he's in hospital.

Nothing but a win please, we go top for a few hours, this will be good for our own mindset. Also crushing the hopes of those Goon cunts and send them packing back to N5!
The rodent boys know that they will need to play a more open game against Watford in the late kick off.
I really wish those with big followings on social media would rile up the thfc faithful for this one. We need a big game atmosphere.I am not expecting it to be like a home fenerbahce game that seems more like a war zone but hey i wouldn't mind.Nothing cryptic about what Arry is asking for here.#COYS
From Pochettino at today's presser....
Woolwich are the only side in the top three to have gone through the highs and lows of a title race in recent seasons, but Pochettino dismissed the theory that experience could be decisive.
“It’s difficult to know,” the Argentinean said. “If they have players that have the advantage to win the title, what happened against Manchester United or Swansea (on Wednesday night)?
“We are capable of beating Manchester City away. (On Wednesday night) against West Ham was difficult, but sometimes we use a lot of topics in football. Football is simple, not too complicated.
“Different clubs sometimes sign a player or a manager with a big background or big trophies behind them. Sometimes they have success and sometimes not.
“You never know. Football is not an ordinary business. Anything can happen.”
Tottenham chose not to start midfielder Dele Alli at Upton Park after the 19-year-old sustained an ankle injury in the warm-up against Swansea last weekend.
Alli, however, came on as a substitute against the Hammers and should be fit to face the Gunners, while Mousa Dembele may also feature after recovering from a groin strain.
On whether Alli might start on Saturday, Pochettino said: “Maybe yes. He played against West Ham 30 minutes. (On Thursday) he is good, but still we need to assess him on Friday.
“We need to assess Mousa on Friday in the last training session. Maybe it is possible he will be selected.”
Tottenham will be eager to respond after an unusually ineffective performance during they which they struggled to match West Ham’s intensity and could have lost by more.
Pochettino admitted his side were “poor” in his post-match press conference. but, after analysing the game again on Thursday morning, the Spurs head coach feels confident it was just a blip.
“Sometimes the same pass one day, you miss your team-mate the next, sometimes it happens,” Pochettino said.
“They’re not robots. They are not machines. We have the right attitude. I think that we fight and sometimes this happens in football.
“For me it was an exception. When we analysed the game this morning we feel more happy.
“On Wednesday night the feeling was that we missed some passes, we were not playing the normal way that we play – properly. I feel bad after the game.
“But today I am happy because the team showed that they want to fight.”
He certainly knows how to talk to us and reassure, how can we not believe when we have this man running our team!

Turns out a trip to the Lane tomorrow won't quite work into my schedule so I'm doing the next best thing.
I'm driving 5 hours just to watch it with my gooner brother in his mostly gooner pub. I've had to endure those plastics ganging up on me and singing about the "gap" in the past but this time I would not miss the looks of fear and disappointment on their faces for anything. 22 more hours. I cannot wait.

For anyone who has never experienced a NLD first hand this piece on it from last year from a Gooners perspective is perfect........or if you have and you wonder what it's like for the scum to walk up the High Road
