I Tottenham Hotspur are in action against their arch-rivals Arsenal for the third time this season, but this one has some extra spicy narrative behind it. Two weeks ago Spurs had a 10 pt. lead over the Gunners. Now, after consecutive losses to Burnley and Chelsea, that lead is down to four, and if Spurs don’t get a result today it’ll drop to just one.
The title is probably gone for Spurs this season, but they still need to take care of business to lock up fourth place. That’ll be a lot tougher if they keep losing games. However, Harry Kane is back, and there’s nothing he likes more than scoring against Arsenal in a North London Derby.
This might be the biggest NLD since... well, the last one.
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.
