Now for Forest to do us a favour :58big-emoticons:


I still think City have a draw in them, maybe not today but who knows.

I'm not as forgiving. The game was drifting along until he dropped that clanger. The worst goal we have conceded all season.

Also not that it was mentioned once in the game but spurs had 2 weeks ff before this game, and between them playing last and this game we’d played 4 times including a double header v Bayern and a London derby midweek v Chelsea. Spurs should have absolutely been fresher in the second half.

The narrative will be about Arsenal ‘almost choking’ when it should be a) brilliant mental strength to see that out in one of the toughest away games and b) spurs being so pathetic to be 3-0 down and offering nothing to get back in it

Phew. Far closer than it had to be. Spurs only came back in to that through 2 of our mistakes. You get games between two teams where one is clearly superior but they can be close, add in the NLD and the potential to humiliate them at home and there was always going to be a reaction.

Couldn’t stand sky sports for that today, the entire narrative they had pre written was about us choking, they were desperate for it.

How did Richarlison get away with that char he straight at Gabriel - nasty piece of work.

The ref was very kind to us today.

Also, in terms of ‘also gave it away’ was there any actual chances Spurs had after they got the second. It was pressure but it wasn’t ever looking like ready to concede

So fair then. Which is rare in this game

This is an unnecessary disaster

Isn't it ; if they had got to 3 -3 I would have been so p***sed off .

Has Raya got any brain cells at all on active duty ...?

When teams water the pitch we shouldn't be f****%% around near our penalty area because there is high possibility of a mishap . Trossard ran himself into endless trouble

Anyway 3 . 12 am .. get a hot water bottle and I'm going back to bed :brushteeth:

Yes, the coms were ridiculous.

Funny game. Spurs were better in the first half and we score three. We were better in the in the second half and conceded two.

We had opportunities to bury them, and yet conceded two, one silly and one unlucky. Apart from those two, Spurs didn't have much threat in the second half.

Havertz was terrific today, goal and assist in a massive away game. Held the ball well, won fouls, moved us up the pitch.

Saka more than won his battle against Davies who could have been booked much earlier than he was.

Tactics were good, there was no need to get involved in a basketball style match with spurs, let them have more of the ball than we normally would away from home and wait for the gaps to appear behind their weak back line, they are a tweak that has conceded 50+ goals in the league giving up chances and goals from set pieces is their norm. The goals we gave them are not the norm for us.

Not happy with him too. But I think he worked very hard to make up for it.

I'm on Dec's team , the bloody clown turned what was a comfortable cruise in the park into a Chew Your fingernails to the bone Extravaganza .

" Claimed all the crosses " he did what any run of the mill goalie should do .

Raya gives me the heebie jeebies , he often does that little ball trap then stands on it and does a stupid little Hokey Cokey rolling it back and forth then punts it upfield at the last possible moment , sort of game of chicken with the opposition

...... :laughing7: as you can guess I'm not particularly enamoured with the guy

I heard the 2 weeks rest mentioned once. Not sure if we had the same commentary team.
