Which team do you want to win?
I always used to have a bit of a soft spot for Spurs. They had some entertaining characters at the club through the 80s and 90s, always looked to play football when not all of the rest of the London clubs did, and seemed to have quite a chipper, fun, self-deprecating fanbase.
Arsenal through the same period, on the other hand, had a squad full of bellends, apes, and degenerates. A few true superstars made viewing them palatable, but I cannot remember a time I wanted them to win any football match, unless they were playing Liverpool, City or Leeds.
But now I find my mind changed. As much as I feel sorry for Wenger given all he has delivered the club whilst it couldn't (or just wouldn't) compete financially with United, then Chelsea, then City, and the abuse he continually receives, I also feel for the Arsenal fans. Partly because they haven't been able to reset their expectations given the new financial order, and partly because they've been hoodwinked into believing Wenger should shoulder the blame for the board's poor decision making and underinvestment.
And Spurs - although they are often a joy to watch, have some wonderful and seemingly relatively grounded players and quite an inspiring young manager - have managed somehow to turn their fanbase into an intensely annoying, smug, self-righteous bunch of children, with ridiculously high expectations and an unbelievable arrogance.
Basically, they have turned into our fans, but without the trophies to explain the transformation and with much crapper songs.
If I wasn't a United fan, I really wouldn't like United fans. (I barely like them as it is.) And for the same reasons, I've gone right off Spurs.
So I'm hoping for a massive Arsenal win; something like 0-7. And Dele Alli to be sent off. Forever.
How does everyone else feel?

A totally dull 0-0 draw please, so that both sets of JA606 fans on here are unhappy and whiney*

You’ve got to love a club that sends their best players up here every so often.
It’s like we share a nursery club in London.

Hope Arsenal win. Spurs don’t win and we do and that’s top 4 pretty much sewn up imo.

I grew up in the 1960s. And, in all that time since, the major generalities i can cobble together are:
Spurs = nice club, nice fans, great players, interesting/exciting to watch. Inconsistent management.
AFC = okay club, arrogant/ignorant fans, cheating/thuggish players, awful/boring to watch. Management, generally, okay but they do currently have the best in the league.
Arsenal will win

A draw would do me, i’d rather not see either set of the southern caants celebrate a win, especially Arsenal taking selfies!
