I've only just gone and won a Spurs crockery set on EBay! There's 11 mugs but no cups.

Two guys arrive at the ticket kiosk at White Hart Lane and ask if they can have season tickets. The lady behind the counter asks them if they are circumcised.

They reply, "Yep, we sure are".

The lady says, "Then I'm sorry. I can't let you have the tickets. You have to be complete p***ks to be Spurs fans".

Big game for you today boys, I think there is only 1 spot up for grabs, win today and you are back in it. However, if you lose I think you can kiss top 4 goodbye. Don’t think you can catch United or Liverpool but Chelsea are on the slide so Spurs are your target. No pressure then.

No games for us are big games in the league fella, we are all on hold until you know who goes.

If we win great, if not the usual suspect will give us a trip, literally, in the lean mean Subaru machine.

Good to see you’ve finally got yourself a decent player in your long long climb to try and get back to the top though, gives you something to build on.

I recall how many of you said how poor we were to be 15pts behind you and here you are a very poor 15pts and probably more behind City and having wasted £100’s of millions on garbage.

Has Lukaku finished chasing his 1st touch down the M1 from your last game yet? 😉

Fingers crossed you’ll start playing some proper footie too.

Stoner. Lol. he's said he's gone to win everything. Took some bad advice along the way there alexis! Jose will wrench all that skill from him, given time. Plus given six months on the rack, he will soon have him 6ft 9in.

Yep, City have raised the bar so we all need to step up. I don’t like Jose’s approach but it usually works. Interesting that Miki already looks a different player in your shirt. Nice to see Wilshere back, always liked him. And Steve, don’t be bitter mate, sh$t happens.

Ah so you were the one on Ravers radio saying we’d smash the spuds Sharpie!

2-2 but with it being wembley, i'm more confident we can get a result. It could be any score really but it is vital we don't lose and really need the win. Xhaka can't play and wilshire has to, he will bring more bite. Would like to see a midfield three of wilshire ramsay and elneny. But xhaka will play and for me, that's a worry.

I think the whole aubameyang dynamic changes things. Spuds press high and auba has space. Spurs have to be conscious of that and I hope it effects their play. I’m optimistic but won’t give a prediction because the past has taught me to keep schtum until the fat lady is singing.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we have to accept Xhaka will and Iwobi most probably will play.
It seems crazy to me to go into almost every game with 2 players who so rarely have any kind of positive impact for us and in Xhaka case so often contributes to our conceding goals but that's the way it is even if most of us and almost the entire football world struggle to undestand why.
I'm yet to hear anyone come up with a reasonable argument for either player being a regular Arsenal first choice player.

You lot proves my point that I was right what I heard on the radio with Arsenal winning easily, I went to the gym this morning where one of the staff is a Arsenal fan and is very confident That Arsenal will win easily, he soon piped down when I've reminded when he gets this excited with his confidence that harry Kane does lots of damage.

@Stoner - what is this radio thing you speak of?

@steve - 2-2? Really? Is that with or without Xhaka?

@Sano - stop calling Steve a fat lady!

Does anyone else think Kolasinac could make a good CDM?

Maybe this isn't the game for it, but would love to see Arsene deploy a 4-4-2 with Auba and Laca up front. However, what would midfield look like? Can it take both Ozil and Mikhi? Thoughts on how you guys would like to see the team set up?

2-2 with xhaka, chance to win without, is my feeling. Wembley a big plus for us though.

Sharpie it’s a thing fitted in the Ravers Subaru just above the 8 track. He listens to a channel where Arsenal fans, along with the guy at his gym, have been foreseeing a thrashing of the Spuds.

Me, I have no idea what the score will be, hopefully a cracking game though.

As for team selection, anyone but Xhaka unless he’s perfected the art of tackling overnight.

Sharpe, you have never heard me sing.

433 ospina, monreal, kos, mustaffi, bellarin, wlishire, elneny, ramsay, myki, auba, ozil.

I don't think kolasinac would make a good CDM RSharpe, I don't think he has the passing range, and I don't think he has the best first touch either. I think his best quality is his 1v1 defending, given his strength and tackling ability.

For the midfield if we want security I agree with the other suggestions here that a 3 of elneny, wilshere and ramsey would provide the most defensive security (relatively speaking) .

Agree0 Disagree0

Fancy a 1 3 win if we are on our game with the right attitude and play with

Cech

Bellerin Kos Mustafi Nacho

Wilshere, Ramsey and Xhaka or Elneny

Myki, Auba and Ozil

Need energy and grit in midfield while also allowing for a thrust forward ( Jack ) or late runs into the box ( Rambo )
