Martin Odegaard has delivered a rallying message to Arsenal fans as the Gunners prepare to take on Tottenham in a crucial North London derby tonight. The Premier League showdown is one of the biggest fixtures of the season, and Arsenal will be determined to secure all three points to keep their title hopes alive.

The race for the Premier League crown is intensifying, with Liverpool dropping two points last night, allowing Arsenal to close the gap on the league leaders. However, Tottenham poses a significant challenge, as they remain a dangerous and unpredictable side, particularly in derbies.

Spurs have had an impressive run in domestic cup competitions, winning their last two matches, including a notable victory over Liverpool. Their recent form makes them a formidable opponent for Arsenal, who are themselves coming into this game after consecutive losses in domestic cup fixtures.

Acknowledging the challenge ahead, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard took to Arsenal Media to share his thoughts on the game and his respect for the opposition. He said:

“Tottenham have been a bit inconsistent this season with their results, but we know their top level is very high. They can beat anybody, and we have seen them do that already this season. They are a good team who like to play good football, but it’s down to us to use our strengths to get the result we want.”

Odegaard’s comments highlight the respect Arsenal holds for their rivals while underlining the belief within the squad that they can rise to the occasion. The Gunners have been dominant in London derbies this season, and they will look to extend that fine record with a victory over their bitter rivals.

Securing three points tonight would not only help Arsenal stay in the title race but also reaffirm their superiority in North London. Despite the difficulty of the task, the Gunners have the quality and determination to overcome Tottenham, provided they play to their strengths and remain focused throughout the match.

  1. Instead of sending messages to the fans Odegaard, why don’t you put in a captains performance for once and actually help us win the game.

    Talk is cheap as they say.

    Action speaks louder than words.

    Instead of talking the talk, why don’t you walk the walk.

    Are you getting my drift. 🙄🤦‍♂️

    1. Exactly Derek
      (Can’t be many dereks left in the world now )
      Name wise (old school name )
      Seems odegaard as slipped into the Arteta world of talking .
      Needs to step up as he’s been awful lately.

        1. See the “D’s” are at it again!
          Have to agree regarding Odegaard though.
          Stop this crowd business, put in a performance that warrants the captain’s arm band and you know you’ll get the response you desire.
          Had a much better game tonight, so let’s keep it going Martin!!

  2. Dan Kit,

    I’ve got an old school name have I, you have cheered me up. 😂🤣😉👍

    As for how many of my name remain in the world, I can’t help you there I’m afraid.😉👍

    1. It’s definitely dwindling name I would imagine mate 😂
      Mine also (Daniel )
      Unless your from 🇺🇸 (hills have eyes kind of thing )😂
      No offence to Americans that sh5g their cousins .
      Old names are nice to come by

  3. Dan Kit,

    I have to agree with you there. You got me thinking, and to be fare I can’t think of many with my name.

    Maybe as each day passes, people with names like you and me maybe we are becoming unique.😉👍

    1. Or obsolete!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
      Daniel and Derek 🤣🤣
      The Double D cup oops club
      🍅🍅
      Back up to second lads, how double dare they!!

  4. Ode played a good game tonight.

    Saliba Big Gabi and Skells very good.

    The rest average.

    Partey ran out of legs after only 20 minutes.

  5. Partey ran out of legs?!
    He started with two and he finished with two – was a rock in midfield and I thought he and Rice controlled the midfield.
    Thought Raya pulled off a couple of excellent saves and it was good to see Tierney get yet another call up.
    Sterling is rusty, but I still think he will play a part in our remaining games, if MA gives him the opportunity.

    1. Rusty? He played like with an old people’s home chair strapped to him.

      And don’t doubt I ❤️ Thomas. Two seasons ago he was a superstar, for nearly all of it. But ever since Rice spooked him and set up hammers first goal he hasn’t been same since. 😢

    2. Ken1945,

      Your on fire with your quips. My sides are hurting, if they don’t stop hurting soon I will sue you for industrial injury. 😂😉👍

      1. Glad you take it with the humour intended Derek 👍
        I thought you might have come back with a Barbie and Ken quote!!
        It’s amazing how folk see a game differently – after their goal, the spuds didn’t have one shot on goal, yet here we are, saying that Partey and Rice lost control of the midfield in the second half!!!
        I agree with you that the need for a striker hasn’t come to light this season, as the likes of Sokanki were being touted in the summer of last year.
        We are being told to wait, buy what if city130, chelsea, pool or any other top side come in and offer more?
        We’ve seen it so many times and the classic example has to be Mudryk!!
        We can’t hang our coat on any player saying what we want to hear and there should be plan B, C and D in place, should money talk.

        1. Ken1945,

          I’m kicking myself that I didn’t go for the Barbie and Ken quote, but you can’t win them all I suppose.

          Anyway as for me taking your humour in the right way, well my motto is you can’t beat a good laugh.

          As my manager once said to me, Derek I know your not a two faced person, because if you were, you wouldn’t have chose your one.

          It’s good to have a bit of banter, even if I’m the one on the end of it sometimes.😁😉👍

  6. But in the second half Partey and Rice didn’t have control of the midfield. This is what was most disappointing about the performance, and most concerning, in second half we didn’t have control of the midfield or the game. It was so open. Contributing to it, so many of Rice dead balls were poor.

    1. How many shots and chances did the spuds have in the second half, and what % of the ball was in their half?
      We controlled every aspect of the game, as their manager readily admitted.
      So why your having a go at Partey and Rice is beyond me… but everyone sees things differently – I’m glad their manager saw it as I did… complete dominance.
