Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur: TV channels, lineups, and how to watch North London Derby online

Hey, look — it’s a North London Derby! ...Yes, we just had one, and it was awful when Spurs lost 4-2, but now there’s another one. ...No, it’s not at Tottenham Hotspur’s home ground, it’s at Arsenal again. Because it’s the League Cup, that’s why.

...No, that’s the FA Cup, this is the OTHER domestic cup. And yes, people usually don’t care as much about this one, so there will be a fair amount of rotation, probably. Except for Spurs, because half of their team is injured so they’ll need to play a strong team.

No, I’m not as nervous about this one as I was the last NLD. I’d pretty much just like this one to be over. Getting closer to lifting a trophy would be nice, as would winning so Arsenal fans aren’t annoying on Twitter again.

Let’s get this over with.

COYS!

• Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is verboten. It’s fine to say “wow, that’s a bad call, match official,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
• Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. Observe Wheaton’s Law. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
