Time to mash those S*uds

Its time for the North London Derby, its time to take revenge for that beating we took in the Carling Cup semi-final.

You all know the S*uds have had a naff start to the season, but after Redknapp's arrival there they will probably be looking at this game in a totally different light to what they would have been looking at it a week ago.

They got their first win at the weekend and anything but a loss will be like beating us 10-0 to them. Wenger is of the opinion that despite 'arry's appointment, nothing much will change for a while;

"don’t think that [the new manager] will change a lot for this game.

“Certainly in the longer term future, the fact that Harry has taken over will change things for Tottenham. But I believe, in this specific game, it is more about how well we will play. That is more important than anything else.”

I think it will be a rejuivinated Tottenham team that will be chasing the ball all over the place, thats why i hope we attack and peg them back, an early goal would be fantastic to dent their confidence that would have risen after the Bolton win.

I think we need to have Song and Fabregas in the middle for today, Modric was dangerous at the weekend and we need a player to sit back and stamp on the little buck toothed rat, Fabregas on the other hand needs to be up the businuss end of the pitch doing what he does best.

I think we will start with Theo because he can try and get in behind the defence and cause mayhem, Adebayor is a constant threat, once described by Paolo Maldini as one of the toughest players he has ever played against. A compliment indeed. I think Theo will be rested for the two games after this against Stoke and Fener.

Adebayor wants to win this game for the fans. Saying;

"We know it is going to be tough. The fans love these games. We have to give everything, we have to make them happy and we have to win. We just have to win."

We do have to win this game, we have to win the Stoke game on Saturday and the Man Utd game the week after that. This is a critical part of the season, any dropped points will be punished, but tonight is a special night because we will be up for this game, the S*uds will too but i think we are out for revenge. Big time.

Hopefully the fans will turn the stadium into a couldron of abuse for the Tottenham players, and as i said, a goal in the first 20 minutes and they might just sit back and try to limit damage. They dont have the physical players to try and kick us, i think its time for us to get a little physical today against the likes of Modric, i dont mean kick him off the park, just using physical strength to let him know we are about. They will get dangerous if he starts scampering about.

Paul Merson thinks we don't want to win this as much as we want to win against Man Utd and Chelsea. Lets just say that 5-1 beating hurt. It pissed us off, its time to put them back into their place, i think over the last couple of seasons the NL Derby has been a fantasic game because the Spuds were after 4th, and they did get close once.

Maybe there is a certain amount of jealousy towards the success we have had, but there are a few Tottenham fans that are not deluded like the ones we so often laugh at, some are decent football fans and commend us on our style of football. Miss Goon is a Spurs fan and we were watching the West Ham game and she said;

"Adebayor is such a brilliant player"

Some praise indeed.

Tottenham are a team i dislike but they are not the worst team to watch, i would prefer to watch them over Liverfluke. I respect their attacking play and they respect ours.

Anyway i think tonight will be a close run thing, it all depends on the first 20 minutes i think, if we get an early goal i see us running out 3-0 winners. If it goes past half time and its still 0-0 anything can happen.

And i mean anything. No form book for this game.

Enjoy.
