    Pixie would bite you hand off to swap places with Spurs. We've humiliated him, this season.

    Spurs finish 11 points ahead of Arsenal

    CL for Spurs. EL for Arsenal.

    The new normal service....


    Only bitter Gooners would still try to drag Spurs into a thread about a game between Chelsea and Arsenal!..

    Why would I?

    It had already been used as a pretext for dragging Spurs into a thread about a cup final between Chavs and Goons...

    So how are you feeling now it's a fact that Arsenal's car crash season was better and more successful than yours.

    I don't believe it was. They're still in stuck in the EL despite yesterday's win.

    Plus We were clearly the better side over an entire season.

    Ok let's go through it and check off the facts. You both secured European football, you both never won the league, Arsenal although finishing 11 points adrift of you actually have a tangible trophy to show for it. As they don't have a trophy for finishing 2nd Arsenal clearly have had the better season. I know you don't like the idea but it's a fact. <ok>

    No, it's your version of a better season.

    They're still in Europe's second tier competition due to finishing 11 points behind us and out of the top 4.

    They won the FA cup which gives no further privileges.

    Mourinho won the EL to which there's the advantage of CL football.

    There's the difference.

    In honesty would you swap your CL place for a trophy?

    Just it seems some Spurs fans are now celebrating the exact thing they've slated Arsenal for over the years.

    Honestly? No.

    I'd rather we show consistency and growth as a team, which is what we've done over the last couple of seasons. If we can continue on the path we're on the trophies will come.

    Nobody expected us to be up there challenging for the title again, but we were. I'd have been far more disappointed and apprehensive about the future had we won the cup but finished way down the league.

    Fair enough <ok>

    Though I think you might struggle next year, in a way the stadium move has come at the worst possible time. Would be a shame if this team/manager was to break up over the next year or so without you winning anything.

    Yes, it would. Hopefully that won't happen.

    Wembley, a period of adjustment may be necessary, but adjust we will.

    You were certainly the better side over the whole season, no question...only one club was better...

    ... but it's trophies that go into the record books ... you know it ... it's just a bit raw right now ...

    Do the 'Wenger out' group of Gooners now want him to stay as they have a tangible trophy or do they still feel that their team is failing because of him. All the Spurs fans I know of, except one, want Pochettino to stay as our team has improved every year he has been here

    Exactly this <applause>

    For years they harped on about 'you don't get any trophies for finishing in the top 4', trying to scoff at the very thing that they are now jizzing their pants over.

    Whilst now trying to slate us for winning an actual trophy. You can't make this **** up <rofl>
