An all-important London derby
By: travis | February 8th, 2009Today is a huge match, and it comes at a time where anything less than a win could make a hard task even more impossible. Villa continues to pile on the pressure with yet another win, this time 2-0 at Blackburn. They just never seem to drop points these days. Toss Chelsea into the hat of the two teams to go after — their draw to Hull leaves them in fourth, and a win today against Spurs would pull Arsenal just three points off pace of the top four.
Eyes must be on Adebayor today. The big striker has struggled for the majority of this season, and it makes me wonder if he should have been sold last summer, simply because it would have been a
chance to sell him while the price was high. The Togonator has hit eight goals in his past eight derbies and will need to step up in order to get a result. Tottenham enters the mass trying to sort themselves out having brought in half their team from 2007 to try and find safety from the drop zone.
The stakes got higher for a top four finish if this article is to be believed:
The News of the World claims that Cesc Fabregas, Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin van Persie will hand in transfer requests if Arsenal finish outside the top four this season.
Not sure if I can begin to believe that, or if I should even bother posting it, but I found it interesting. It is not something that I would like to consider or mention, so come on Arsenal, fight back, make the top four. Today could mark the debut of Arshavin and hopefully another win in the Prem.
