I don't know. I don't read The Sun.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Agreed, Holtby's best performances so far have come as a sub against tired defenses.
(From another thread: )
I can't see a plan of "shut Bale down" as being effective as, at the same time, a "and we will beat Spurs" plan. Unless "shut Bale down" involves a date for him with an X-ray machine.
I wonder how they propose to do that. I can't see Wenger aiming for a 0–0. Then again, it's not like he'll be in front of a half-empty stadium that goes to 3/4-empty by half-time in response to his anti-football. So what does Woolwich do? Play three at the back? Whom? Koscielny, Mertesacker, and Vermaelen with Sagna and Monreal on the wings? And what to do when we flood center of midfield? Wouldn't we be sitting with the ball at Dembélé's toes, sending four players (Ade, our 3 AMs) in to overwhelm three CBs.

still being ahead of them isn't enough imo
OTOH, I will be greatly amused by the stick they'll try to give, should we finish ahead of them while also conceding them the full six points. Right, we're the small club who's obsessed with our big neighbors, not the former terrors of Europe who use the happy thoughts of a derby performance to fall asleep at night.still being ahead of them isn't enough imo
[centre]Lloris
Walker - Dawson - Vertonghen - BAE
Parker - Dembele
Lennon - Holtby - Siggy
Ade[/centre]
Totally fuck with them. "What do you mean he isn't playing?" Watch Woolwich defenders look bemused as they triple mark Sigurdsson instead, leaving Ade to bang in 4 to 5 from his 18 or so chances. Second half we go shock and awe as we bring on fresh Bale and Dempsey for Walker and BAE and fucking rip into them. 19-0 FT.

The fact that we can afford to fuck up makes me slightly less nervous, but these derbys are always insane. Impossible to predict anything.
already posted on the AVB songs thread, but...
...is anyone else in Block A (East Upper Corner) on Sunday...? it was the ONLY ticket I could get my hands on, and wondered if there were gonna be any other like-minded 'singers' up there to try and get an atmosphere started?
"WE'RE THE EAST UPPER CORNER, WE'RE THE EAST UPPER CORNER, WE'RE THE EAST UPPER CORNER, TOTT-EN-HAM!"
OR...
"Park Lane Park Lane, gissa song... Shhhhhhhhh, Aaaaaaaaaaaarggggggh!"

will do damage if he realises he doesn't have to head the ball into the ground every time
heading it into the ground makes it harder to save tbf.
Pretty sure I am there mate
see you there then... BIFF!
I'll be the one in the all-white top and dickie-bow!
I brought this up in the West Ham thread too ....
... I mean this would be the prefect match because our fans will be up for it at WHL.
I know that there are other songs/chants too like this but this one is so simple but so loud and clear.
When I first heard it for Harry at the 5-0 Newcastle game ... the fans really moved me.
I really wish I could sing this with you all at WHL ... but I'll do so in front of my Tele.
So, lets spread the word and sing!!!!! :bale2: :bale2: :bale2: :bale2: :bale2: :balelol:
