Don't see why any Arsenal fans should be worried overly.
It's at the Emirates and Spurs are known to concede soft goals.

But then again.....Arsenal's worst enemy in recent derbies is likely to be fit.

Ramsey?

He does more harm to our chances than any opposition player has so far this season.

Twizz, how's your mobs injury ward looking at the moment?

sorry to say but almost everyone will be available, only downside is some haven't played for 3 or 4 weeks, only Sandro in doubt but Parker will play DM

Ledley King is the man, if he plays we never lose

good luck guys hope its a good game

Koscielny should be fit, possibly Gibbs too.

Both Kos and Gibbs are named.

Interestingly, Benayoun is starting ahead of Gervinho and Ox. Obviously (hopefully) to shut down Bale - if he turns up. ;-)

I don't think that it's an overstatement when some say that this is the biggest and most important North London Derby for Arsenal since Wenger took over. Winning the league at WHL was lovely, but I don't think it compares with the importance of this mornings game.

If we win, we're still in 5th due to goal difference. If we lose, Spuds are thirteen points ahead, Chelsea are three and Emirates may have been burnt to the ground and the directors hanging from the ceiling.

1st goal was our back 4's fault. Then Kos gets a yellow card because Adebayor shoves him into Parker. Then Bale blatantly dives to earn a penalty.

We've gone 11 games without a win under this ref. About to become 12.

It was a penalty mate. No doubt about it. The thing is we should never of let Bale have that much space in the first place. Vermaelen is playing absolutely shocking.

You're wrong. He fell a metre from Chesney. And if it wasn't our keeper who brought him down, we should have got a red. Therefore, the referee is full of shit. I'm 99% sure the referee got told by his assistant that there was nothing there.

And every Football journo I follow on Twitter unanimously thought it was a dive. And most of them are anti-Arsenal.

As for that 1st half. Several things I'm shocked by:

1. Instead of carding Bale for a blatant dive, he's given a penalty.
2. We score from a header.
3. We come back from 0-2 to make it even at the half.
4. Adebayor kept his celebration to a dignified minimum.

(On that last point, I thought I was seeing things).

Re the penalty: even the Arsenal haters on Sky say it was a dive.

Mike Dean awards a penalty, even though he doesn't know which player allegedly fouled Bale - wtf. Also, who knew that Wales was a Olympic diving superpower?

Huge, huge last ten minutes. I can't remember the last time we came back from 2-0 down to equalize.

RVP's goal is up there with the best of the season. Pretty sure the ball curved past Denmark on its way into the back of the net.
