On Sunday 26 February 2012 Arsenal went into their North London Derby aginst Tottenham Hotspurs as the clear underdogs.

Well things are relatively quiet at the moment but im sure that we will hear more from Arsenal just before and after the game tomorrow. So all we can do now is wait in anticipation for the flurry of pre and post match communication that tomorrow will bring
Arsenal will have to come back with a win against Manchester city on the weekend after a disappointing loss at QPR
ReplyDeleteYes they will have to bounce back, Arsene Wenger has said that they need to go back to basics as it is a lack of concentration that ultimately led to the defeat. However coming back against Manchester City will be a tough task for Arsenal.
