Derby dilemmas
Will Gunners paint North London red on Saturday?

The North London derby still gets me going, even though I don't play in it
any more.
週末的北倫敦德比戰，令我滿腔熱血要為槍手踢球，即使我已經不能再踢北倫敦德比了。
When I was at Arsenal, this was the ultimate game. When the fixtures came out
in the summer, this was the one you'd be looking for; the rest just weren't
as important.
我還在 Arsenal 效力時，北倫敦德比戰才是最重要的賽事。每當夏季公佈賽季的時程表，
北倫敦德比戰才是眾所矚目的；餘下的比賽就沒有那麼重要了。
I'm not sure it's like that these days. I think the Arsenal players are more
concerned about Chelsea and Man United and I don't think the recent matches
have been as big as they used to be.
我不確定今天是否也如此。我想，大多數的槍手們更在意著 Chelsea 和 ManUtd，但我不
認為最近的比賽有過去那般地重要。
Maybe that will change after Tottenham finished in the top four last season.
This fixture is getting bigger and I think it should be a great match on
Saturday.
也許在上賽季 Tottenham 拿下第四名後而會有所改變。本賽季的每一場都越來越重要，我
認為週六會是最重要的比賽。
But it wouldn't surprise me if Harry Redknapp made a few changes to his side
for this one.
即使 Harry Redknapp 對這次比賽而做了些陣容更動，我也不感到意外。
I say that because Tottenham have got a big game against Werder Bremen in
midweek, which would see them qualify for the next round of the Champions
League.
因為我認為 Tottenham 必須拿下週中對上 Werder Bremen 的歐冠賽事，才能確保晉級歐
冠下回合的賽事。
（ Arsenal 也沒有比較好，還是有可能被H組的 Shakhtar 和 Braga 超前(￣￣；) )
Most of Tottenham's players have just been away on international duty and
ahead of a big, big week it's really hard to know how Harry will prioritise
the games.
Tottenham 大部分的球員都有參與國家隊賽事，緊接著一週內還面臨許多重要賽事，所以
很難猜到 Harry 會更重視哪場比賽。
Does he focus on the Premier League and put all of his efforts into trying to
qualify for the Champions League again next year - which will be difficult
now that Man City are so strong?
他會專注在英超賽事，並且努力去達成下一次歐冠的資格嗎？且現在 ManCity 變得更強
了。
Or does he put all of his efforts into one big ride in the Champions League?
It might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance for Spurs, so why not make that the
priority this season?
還是說他會致力於歐冠賽程的表現呢？那可能就是 Spurs 有史來就這麼一次的機會，所
以何不力拼歐冠呢？
It's a tough decision for Harry to make because I think he has to prioritise
somewhere along the line.
這是個令 Harry 進退兩難的決定，我認為他還是得決定要專注在英超還是歐冠賽程。
He also has a tough choice to make now Jermain Defoe is coming back. The team
has picked itself so far, but now he has a choice to make over who plays up
front. That's a nice headache to have - but he has to make the right decision.
同時是否使用傷癒歸隊的 Jermain Defoe 也是個艱難的決定。球隊一直以來都使用 Defoe
但這次得決定使用誰來踢前鋒。這是個甜蜜的負擔，但他得做出正確的決定。
Arsenal are in a different situation. They will definitely finish in the top
four and they know they'll have Champions League football next season.
Arsenal 就沒有這困擾。他們肯定會拿下英超前四，也會有下賽季的歐冠可以踢。
（Arsenal 的困擾其實就是拿冠軍，而且常常在最後崩盤，〒△〒）
In fact, the way things are going, Arsenal won't be far off winning the
Premier League. Arsenal have had hiccups, but so has everybody else. The win
at Everton last weekend was a very good result considering Chelsea lost at
home and Manchester United drew at Villa.
事實上，英超還在繼續著，Arsenal 離榜首位置並不太遠。Arsenal 有時會些小困擾，
但其他隊也是。上週末在 Everton 的主場拿下勝局，是相當不錯的結果，畢竟 Chelsea
在主場失利，且 ManUtd 平 Villa。
And if Robin van Persie gets fit then Arsenal have every chance of winning
the league. He played 45 minutes for Holland in midweek and I think it's a
joke that someone who hasn't kicked a ball for his club all season gets
called up for his country.
若 Robin van Persie 狀態不錯，Arsenal 就有更多的選擇來贏下英超冠軍。RVP 在週中
為荷蘭隊踢了45分鐘，但我還是認為，徵召一個還未給自己的球會踢球就被叫去踢國家隊
，是個天大的笑話。
He's a great player and Arsenal need him in the team, but I just don't know
how many games Arsenal will get out of him these days.
他是個優異的球員，Arsenal 需要他在隊伍之中，但我能難斷定，Arsenal 又會有多少場
看不到他。
My main concern is still the goalkeeper. Lukasz Fabianskiwas man of the match
in his last two games, but he never makes mistakes when Arsenal are 5-0 up,
it's always when the score is 0-0.
這次德比戰，我更在意的還是門將。Lukasz Fabianski 是最近兩場 MOM，他很少在
Arsenal 5-0 領先時犯錯，但卻常在 0-0 緊張比數下搞砸。
He is getting better though and I think Arsenal will be good enough to win on
Saturday.
他現在守得愈來愈好，我相信 Arsenal 足以在週六賽事拿下勝利。
PAUL'S PREDICTION（Paul 預測）
HOME WIN - I've played under Harry and I've watched his sides and they always
have a go. I can assure you Tottenham will go to Arsenal and attack; West
Brom and Newcastle had a go at the Emirates, so Tottenham surely will. We
should get a very open game, but I see Arsenal winning it 3-1.
主場勝－我曾在 Harry 執教之下踢球，也看過他所領導的球隊，總是不住地前攻。我肯
定 Tottenham 來到 Arsenal 主場會採取主動攻勢；West Brom 和 Newcastle 都在
Emirates 球場主打攻勢足球，Tottenham 也不例外。槍手會先奪下首顆進球，但預測
Arsenal 以 3-1 勝。
MERSON'S MAGIC MAN（Paul 預測 關鍵先生）
CESC FABREGAS - He hasn't been at the top of his game and he needs to start
firing again. They've been winning games without him playing well - which is
unusual - and this is the sort of game where you need your big players to
perform. He was outstanding in this fixture last year and I expect him to
step up to the plate.
Cesc Fabregas－最近他不若以往的顛峰表現，需要的是再次開火。槍手最近贏的比賽，
Cesc 都踢得不算很好，這有點兒不尋常，且這次的比賽尤其需要關鍵球員的表現。上賽
季的德比戰，他都有著傑出的表現，所以我期待他重返比賽的焦點。
(上賽季主場 Cesc 有上場，但自平Barca而受傷後，客場德比戰就沒有上場了。)
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
期待這次的德比戰。
Goal! Goal! Arsenal!
We r the Champions !
