Would love to see a great game today - 5/6 goal thriller and show us why the PL is so good 

I'm not too confident, so I fear your 5/6 goal thriller might be a 4-2 to Spurs rather than a 6-0.

Lestratcaster

Our defence is looking strong and don't concede many goals so I'd take a 2-0 win thank you haha.

TTony

Looks like Postecoglu has gone pretty safe / conservative with Hojbjerg and Bentancur in midfield.

And starting with Werner too - so that's one player who'll not be scoring ...

Do u want to bet against me now

to be fair, what Ben White does at the corners ,is it a foul, clever or cheeky

Lestratcaster

Rode our luck a little bit in the first half. Giving the ball away cheaply several times (Trossard for 2 of them) and not been punished so far. VAR decision helped though very tight, like an arse cheeks breath haha.

Benny White is a genius for what he does on corners, gets right up in the goalkeepers face to try and get in his head. Love it.

Need a bit more calmness in possession, been a bit jittery when 1-0 or 2-0 up but the only thing that matters is the scoreline right now.

The other thing I noticed was in the 37th minute for Havertz goal from the corner there were 2 Tottenham fans shouting abuse at Declan Rice, yet the stewards did fuck all.

Getting closer - 66% of the way there 

Lestratcaster

Stupid from Raya, what the hell was he doing?

TTony

Arsenal "scored 3 goals from 2 attempts on target in the first half".

Score went from 1-1 to 0-2 in 6 mins (5 of those were the VAR " clear and obvious" review.  That's the turning point.

Probably says something that both Spurs goals were from our CBs.

But at least an Arsenal win keeps the PL title race alive a bit longer.

Nearly there ?
1 to go for that 6 goal thriller 

TTony

Going to be an interesting last 5 minutes ...

Lestratcaster

Having flashbacks to last season now. Talk about making it difficult for ourselves...

guitars4you

As I hoped a good game to watch - had so much going for it 

Lestratcaster

Oof. Just about got over the finish line. Was literally backs to the wall for the last few minutes. But dug in just about.

TTony

Keeps the PL race alive

Lestratcaster

City will win tonight though I think.

TeleMaster

I think so. 4 points in it with two games in hand for City, a precarious place to be! 

Boromedic

Come on you Redssssss, would love it if Forest beat City, really don't like City at all.

They'll do it I reckon, they got the ability to play crap but still win games. But I'm glad we've pushed them til the end and have learnt some lessons from last season.
