Spurs 3-3 Arsenal What a game this was. It may prove to be the straw that broke the camel’s back with regards to our title challenge — although one could argue our camel has been lying, crushed in the desert for some time now — but if you can’t appreciate a game of football like [...]

Post image for Spurs v Arsenal preview: A potential thriller awaits

Tonight is the first North London Derby of the season. Although it’s only the Carling Cup, with both Arsenal and Tottenham juggling Champions League and Premier League fixtures and therefore certain to rotate, it could be a cracking game at White Hart Lane. When it comes to predicting the team that Arsene Wenger will put [...]
