Sturridge scores against non league minnows, relegation fodder and a consolation tap in and all of a sudden he is Falcao and Drogba rolled into one. Lol you couldn't make it up. What are the bets the deluded masses are calling for his head after the next two games?

Chelsea are charging Arsenal fans £60 for the game tomorrow! Now when Arsenal charged Man City £60 there were lots of anti-Arsenal stories in the press. However there is no mention of this when Chelsea do it. That is because Arsenal fans have not returned any tickets as it is sold out. The real issue seems to be Man City fans are cheap

:kenny no the real story is that football tickets are overpriced mostly in the case of London clubs and the worst offender is arsenal

Also Norwich are a good team. They are not lower league relation fodder.

QPR trying to hold on for a point in most matches while Reading comeback and win even with the odds against them. Says it all really. Money is not everything needed to avoid relegation. You need spirit and determination too.

Eh, if you beat us you'll have played well and shown yourself to be a team continually getting better and proving a bigger threat and if you lose then it'll just be another learning curve. If you beat us tomorrow I'll just accept we were below par/unlucky and await the next game and the response from the players.

Don't really see how you should be expecting a defeat though. We've played much better in the big away games this season but our game at the moment is entirely haphazard and prone to poor spells throughout a game. It really will be a battle between our attack and your defence, our midfield against your midfield and how the likes of Rafael, Ferdinand and Evra contain Lennon, Defoe & Bale. You've got the midfield, hardworking team and attacking threat to exploit us if we let our guard down or play sluggishly for an extended period of time, whilst we have the experience, the quality up front to punish any mistake/seize any opportunity as well as the pressure of keeping City at bay.

Should be a tense and entertaining game with both teams having everything to play for and matching fairly well in terms of styles and the way they like to approach a game.

We've been losing at home to you for over 10 years, there has been no learning curve about it. Granted, most of the time it has been down to some pathetic refereeing decision but still. We will HAVE to be at our best tomorrow to even get a point. Ferguson won't want Spurs doing the double over him, especially after City closed the gap.

I'm expecting a defeat because we DON'T do doubles over Man Utd. It just doesn't happen. In fact I'll be putting a lot of money on Man Utd to win to bitter the blow anyway, I saw them at odds of 13/10 the other day which is just too good to be true.

Carrick will run the game. He didn't at OT because Sandro and Dembele dominated the midfield. We have no Sandro which is a blow in itself and Dembele is off form at the moment. Parker is coming into the team and will be making his first Premier League start this season and finds himself next to Dembele, not the best game to try and forge a partnership. They didn't look too good together against QPR.

Past few years against Man Utd, Rafael ALWAYS seems to have Bale in his pocket and it will probably be the same. Sure, Bale can drift in and out but I think our danger man tomorrow will be Lennon. He is on superb form at the moment and it's a good opportunity for him to attack Evra and the Man Utd defence.

I think it will be entertaining as well as a roller coaster for hopefully both sets of fans. I think games between us are usually very entertaining and for some reason it always ends up in controversy. Hopefully none of that and just a good footballing match between two good teams.

Its going to be a tough game, cookie monster you always seems to be far too pessimistic about every game, i'll go for a prediction of 2-2.

and yeah Rafael tends to play well against Bale, hopefully he can carry on that tomorrow.

Haha, I think I've just always been like this. I guess I don't like being too confident or over the top just because it'll end up biting me in the ass. And growing up as a Spurs fan, you get used to just being disappointed, so I suppose it's built in to you.

I'd take 2-2, not with us going 2-0 up however, haha. Rafael seems to be in good form and I think he'll do a good job on Bale, which then means we go and switch him and Lennon which never works.

Spurs is just a horrible matchup for us. Demebele is like our fucking kryptonite, along with Fellaini, just seems to destroy us. We struggle against physicality in midfield and pace up front/on the wings, in other words - Spurs. Sandro is certainly a big loss though, which gives me some sort of optimism. Should open up some space for those dropping off the striker.

The last game was a joke, we played into their hands from the start allowing them to counter at will. We sorted it out, Rooney made a big impact and we should have scored 4 or 5.

Lennon used to destroy Evra when Evra was good and Lennon was shit, so there's that.

Anyways. I look forward to the pints and of course :rvp
