I thought today's game was a cracker, but to say spurs will finish 5th is ridiculous. They're better than us this season, 3rd place is pretty much guaranteed for them.
To be fair 7 points if a hell of alot of points to claw back with only 12 games left.
I think it's possible their confidence could be dented, I also think the distraction of the 'Arry for England calls could have an impact, but I really do think they've done enough already.
One weekend goes against us (Arsenal lose and Tottenham win) and it's a 10 point gap and a game less to do it in.....
Also spuds last 9 games are all vs bottom half sides (more or less). BUT spuds could go into tail spin if they lose the next 3 games too....
Playing teams fighting to stay up or fighting against being dragged into a relegation fight is tough. Those last 9 games will not be easy.
No games are easy but its a myth that playing against bottom sides late is hard to do. Its better to play them then imo. They are usually alot harder early in the season when they dont realise how bad they are and when they have fit players.
I think that myth has survived from when there was less money in the game like in the mid 90's and before. Then it was hard to play these teams because everyone was more even and because teams didnt play as good football. So battling and wanting to win mattered alot more.
Having said that I still think spuds will go into a tail spin after these next 3 games. Then I think they will lose alot of their last 9 even if they are against poor sides. Nobody in the premier league is a walk over.
Typical fickle Arsenal fan's. Booing the players off one week and making wild prediction's of finishing third the next week.
Mate, chill out, it's just a little rivalry game. I think the spuds have actually been pretty well behaved throughout this season, but it's our fault for giving them the ammo to attack. If we were better, they'd have to shut up a bit. As for the lack of respect in your eyes, it's called a rivalry for a reason.
