DERBY DAY: Today's football 02.12.2018

It's hard to even enjoy good football now without thinking how shit we are.

Yes, this Arsenal side were a laughing stock last year, spineless, passive, but a new manager, and not that many changes on pitch they look a team with a new energy and focus.

Probably still lose this now, but they look a team on the right path.

Definitely.

We have problems above him, but I don't believe for a moment that our current group isn't better than what we're seeing and we can at least play in a positive way.

All the good football will be for nothing. Right path or not unless either side is going to get close to 100 points a season they aint winning the league. Thats the benchmark now.

Oh Tottenham.

Neither of these 2 should be expected to win the league against the money that City, Utd and Chelsea can throw at it, and Liverpool now. For nothing though? No, the match experience matters, the excitement and anticpation around a team matters.

Utd are both shit and boring.

Emery is showing how disgustingly pitiful a job Mourinho has done. When was the last time OT was this engaged with a performance?

Poch out?....

Nope.

Spurs have totally Tottenhamed this up.

this running around fast thing

Eric Dier really is a woeful excuse for a footballer. You can see why Mou wanted him. He'd fit in well at OT.

Spot on again.

City are great.... so we just pack up and go home?

Football goes in cycles and we need to be there and ready for when City drop off.

While Chelsea looked unstoppable in 2006, Fergie was quietly building the next great United side.

Got to be one of the most overrated players in the league. I've no idea what he does well. And when they have options like Demebele in midfield and Sanchez at the back, I've no idea how he gets in their side.

Torriera and Guandhozi or whatever they’re called have more fight and get up and go in their left %@#$&!s than our entire squad.

Just a bit of nous in the market is all it takes.

This.

We were far better finding Solskjaer, Johnsen, Ronaldo etc out of nowhere instead of wasting so much on mercenaries.

Spurs getting waspy

This is the most aggressive and energetic I've seen Arsenal in a big game in years.

He's got them going, for sure. From losing the first two matches of the season too. He's made a really promising start from the shit show they've been in recent years.

Spurs have completely lost their shit here.

Wednesday should be fun.

Arsenal fans are going to be insufferable on Wednesday night and Jose will have us playing like passive gutless turds

0-0.

Mourinho claiming it's a good point against a top side and then spend 10 minutes talking about how he's never lost a home game arsenal.
