should spurs really be shorter than arsenal?

The way I see tonight's game at the Emirates is that it will be as much a test of mental strength than it is of technical skill and general ability. Both sides go into the game off the back of disappointing results/ performances. I think the reason arsenal are odds against is because man utd, player for player, have got the better of arsenal for a while now and that psychological edge will count for a lot tonight, in what will be a test of nerve as much as it is skill. I'm just hoping Moyes' inability to play through the middle will allow arsenal to dominate the midfield and control the game. Gibbs and Sagna are perfectly capable of dominating on the flanks and I just hope arsenal don't get bullied and lose a physical battle. Spurs are in good nick, confident and up against a depleted Newcastle

I'm going to back a North London double at a smidge short of 4/1

well a little newc/arse double for  me, with a lay/lay multiple of spurs man u as a saver.

Newcastle: Krul; Debuchy, Williamson, S.Taylor, Santon; Gouffran, Sissoko (c), Anita, Sammy Ameobi; de Jong, Cisse

Spurs:  Lloris; Walker, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Naughton; Dembele, Bentaleb, Capoue, Paulinho, Lennon; Adebayor.

You'll notice I have gone with my heart and not my head. And I'm beginning to regret it - I think windy conditions will suit mancs and fear factor of always losing to them is getting to me. Come on arsenal, surprise me. For some reason I think spurs are nailed on to win!

and quite frankly spurs shouldn't be 6/5 away against anybody, let alone a top half team who although missing a couple of players, should be more than good enough to get at least a point.

You might want to look at the table next time, which clearly shows Tottenham have the best away record in the League, and that was before tonight.

Re the Arsenal bet  - all the emphasis has been on Man Uted nad how poor they are which is true ,however what we missed was Arsenal are also on the wane and not a team playing well,Liverpool was not a freak result ,this is the time of the season when they tend to bottle it and this is a horse who has run its race.

I think Uted would be beaten by most top sides at the moment away from home.

how nice to see the spuddies on full aftertiming mode .

i'll get it back off of them.

and the thing is they know i will.

as for the other mob in norf london, well i give up on them

Arsenal are also on the wane and not a team playing well,Liverpool was not a freak result ,this is the time of the season when they tend to bottle it and this is a horse who has run its race.

I do believe that Arsenil had the best record of all in the last 3 months of 2012/13.
