My spurs loving  co worker  saying he's  worser than jansen 😁😂😂and oh was he ever  salty Saturday  night 

He's hardly been given a shot. Poch sees a hobbling Kane as a better option. Llorente gets stuck in and niggles and that's exactly what we needed against you lot. I'm not remotely salty. We were outplayed with an unfit team, what did we expect? Sometimes you just have to tell it like it and say 'we were completely dominated'. 

As for the goner hating media, whats new? You guys do implode and blame everything and everyone for it, so you only have your fans and club representatives to blame for that haha.

Both clearly injured, especially Kane. Llorente seems like a pointless signing. He should have started if Kane was unfit and that much was obvious.

It also seems like people are having trouble admitting that Arsenal just played very well. Too much talk about free kicks and offside goals. 

Spurs have won 1/17 away at big clubs. We will never win a title if we can't arrest this. 




You know why  dont you. They hate us and any thing  besides   clickbait doesnt wash.  It says alot when  we get told to suck up  the calls against city but  you  guys get a media inquisition

Have to say I was very impressed by the gooners dominance but not unexpected, as mentioned its a huge derby you could never pick it nowadays.
Best game by arse in a while imo.....
My son is a full on spuds supporter and thankfully Pool did the job that normally not so it was good banter.
Comparing our results v's the top6 to both of your clubs makes it worse how much we drop everywhere else last 20yrs lol.....

So Arsenal, pathetic, spineless, leaderless and well and truly out of the title race already. Spurs, amazing, wonderful, the greatest thing since sliced bread and the best title threat outside Manchester. Yet just 1 pt between the two clubs. All the talk coming into the game how there is no chance of any result but a Spurs win, which is just crazy talk considering their record at the Emirates and Highbury the last 25 or so years.

I do love how some of the press were forced to mention Pochettino's record away against the other sides in the top 6, which somehow impressively is worse than ours, but you wouldn't know that given the coverage from the media.

Would not be shocked if St Totteringham's day was back this year, which would make some of the talk this week that Pochettino's first few years at Spurs are reminiscent of Arsene's first few years at Arsenal even more laughable than it already was.

The talk was silly, derbies never go to script. Arsenal could be on zero points and you'd never write them off in a derby at home. 

Poch has to man up, he's put two injured blokes on the pitch when he has fully fit back ups available. He made the subs far too late for spurs to get into the game.

That was fucking shit but well done to Arsenal for turning up.

Lot of shit on Spurs pages for 1) giving a free kick to Sanchez when it clearly wasn't and then 2) an offside goal (even the 2nd was close).

Reality is that Spurs never turned up and got dominated in midfield. Can't complain about marginal offsides when you're never in the game.

Hey your 3rd choice keeper made some good saves.

Horrendous crowd though.

Spurs beating Madrid, Woolwich drawing with teams with no vowels in the Europa League. What a time to be alive.

Well we qualified. The less said about that match though the better. A point from our final 2 games would confirm top spot.

Has shown more than ox and theo 😀😁😂

Theo gets a break because he at least is able to score goals. Ox on the other hand, Monreal equaled Ox's best ever league goal return against Everton and Nketiah now just needs 3 more goals to equal Ox's best ever goal return in all comps in a season.

Oh yeah I don't think he will be dropped, mostly because like you say we can't really afford to, but he should be.

Also realised today the Europa League has actually helped us a little this season with how much we've been able to rotate and play basically 2 different sides in the league and Europa League. Does mean the match against City in 2 weeks feels slightly less daunting because we'll be playing a pretty much complete 2nd string in the Europa League against Red Star midweek.

Can't drop Xhaka as we don't have a replacement. 

Elneny isn't better defensively or going forward. 

Coquelin should never play in a 2 man midfield.

That's more like it. Can't help but feel Xhaka needs to be dropped, recovered from his mistake well but can only take him giving up goals for so long.

What a surprise, Laca, Ozil and Alexis play together for the first time and produce that. Scored 5, should have scored 7 or 8.

Watford game wasn't as doom & gloom as I thought it would be, knowing the result before I watched it.

Xhaka was good, which I never really think.

Per was outstanding, and the goal was an added bonus to a great game.

Nacho was superb also.

Iwobi & Welbz I thought were unusually poor. They really didn't help. Awesome save from Gomes for Iwobi's shot though.

Mesut made an INSTANT impact, which was great. 

But where I thought Wenger lost us the game was dragging Lacazette off. He was IMO our only creative outlet before Mesut came on, and we looked non-threatening until he had the ball. I would have liked to see him and Mesut given more than 6mins together.

3atb has to go. It gets the best out of nobody and we're even more defensively suspect than before.

It matches up well against Chelsea and other teams playing 3ATB, that's it.

It's amazing how Jack becomes a ridiculously good footballer when he's not getting the shit kicked out of him by hacks in England. 

It's a shame that we fell out with Roma over a potential Manolas transfer, Jack would have excelled there last season on loan rather than Bournemouth.
