Derby dilemmas Will Gunners paint North London red on Saturday? Paul Merson Posted 18th November 2010 ※1985-1997 曾效力 Arsenal，位置为 中场球员 《天空体育》http://goo.gl/AmdeN The North London derby still gets me going, even though I don't play in it any more. 周末的北伦敦德比战，令我满腔热血要为枪手踢球，即使我已经不能再踢北伦敦德比了。 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. 我还在 Arsenal 效力时，北伦敦德比战才是最重要的赛事。每当夏季公布赛季的时程表， 北伦敦德比战才是众所瞩目的；余下的比赛就没有那麽重要了。 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. 我不确定今天是否也如此。我想，大多数的枪手们更在意着 Chelsea 和 ManUtd，但我不 认为最近的比赛有过去那般地重要。 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. 也许在上赛季 Tottenham 拿下第四名後而会有所改变。本赛季的每一场都越来越重要，我 认为周六会是最重要的比赛。 But it wouldn't surprise me if Harry Redknapp made a few changes to his side for this one. 即使 Harry Redknapp 对这次比赛而做了些阵容更动，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. 因为我认为 Tottenham 必须拿下周中对上 Werder Bremen 的欧冠赛事，才能确保晋级欧 冠下回合的赛事。 （ Arsenal 也没有比较好，还是有可能被H组的 Shakhtar 和 Braga 超前(￣ー￣；) ) 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 大部分的球员都有参与国家队赛事，紧接着一周内还面临许多重要赛事，所以 很难猜到 Harry 会更重视哪场比赛。 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? 他会专注在英超赛事，并且努力去达成下一次欧冠的资格吗？且现在 ManCity 变得更强 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? 还是说他会致力於欧冠赛程的表现呢？那可能就是 Spurs 有史来就这麽一次的机会，所 以何不力拼欧冠呢？ It's a tough decision for Harry to make because I think he has to prioritise somewhere along the line. 这是个令 Harry 进退两难的决定，我认为他还是得决定要专注在英超还是欧冠赛程。 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. 同时是否使用伤癒归队的 Jermain Defoe 也是个艰难的决定。球队一直以来都使用 Defoe 但这次得决定使用谁来踢前锋。这是个甜蜜的负担，但他得做出正确的决定。 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 就没有这困扰。他们肯定会拿下英超前四，也会有下赛季的欧冠可以踢。 （Arsenal 的困扰其实就是拿冠军，而且常常在最後崩盘，〒△〒） 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. 事实上，英超还在继续着，Arsenal 离榜首位置并不太远。Arsenal 有时会些小困扰， 但其他队也是。上周末在 Everton 的主场拿下胜局，是相当不错的结果，毕竟 Chelsea 在主场失利，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 状态不错，Arsenal 就有更多的选择来赢下英超冠军。RVP 在周中 为荷兰队踢了45分钟，但我还是认为，徵召一个还未给自己的球会踢球就被叫去踢国家队 ，是个天大的笑话。 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. 他是个优异的球员，Arsenal 需要他在队伍之中，但我能难断定，Arsenal 又会有多少场 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. 这次得比战，我更在意的还是门将。Lukasz Fabianski 是最近两场 MOM，他很少在 Arsenal 5-0 领先时犯错，但却常在 0-0 紧张比数下搞砸。 He is getting better though and I think Arsenal will be good enough to win on Saturday. 他现在守得愈来愈好，我相信 Arsenal 足以在周六赛事拿下胜利。 PAUL'S PREDICTION（Paul 预测） 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. 主场胜－我曾在 Harry 执教之下踢球，也看过他所领导的球队，总是不住地前攻。我肯 定 Tottenham 来到 Arsenal 主场会采取主动攻势；West Brom 和 Newcastle 都在 Emirates 球场主打攻势足球，Tottenham 也不例外。枪手会先夺下首颗进球，但预测 Arsenal 以 3-1 胜。 MERSON'S MAGIC MAN（Paul 预测 关键先生） 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－最近他不若以往的颠峰表现，需要的是再次开火。枪手最近赢的比赛， Cesc 都踢得不算很好，这有点儿不寻常，且这次的比赛尤其需要关键球员的表现。上赛 季的德比战，他都有着杰出的表现，所以我期待他重返比赛的焦点。 (上赛季主场 Cesc 有上场，但自平Barca而受伤後，客场德比战就没有上场了。) ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ 期待这次的德比战。 顺带一问， 明晚想在台北的 TV Bar 看球的话， 都是去 铜猴(Brass Monkey) 吗？（我只去过 Saints & Sinners） 但我比较好奇 版友们(枪迷) 比较常去的是哪一家呢？(以及最低消费为？) 谢谢推荐。 Goal! Goal! Arsenal! We r the Champions ! --
