We're still favourites to finish 3rd.

We've been on a losing streak, that's for sure, but it's not as though we are playing badly.

If Harry cannot motivate the players for the remainder of our games, he doesn't deserve to be Spurs manager, let alone England's.

You dominated them for 45 minutes despite your decline and terrible shape. I think that means we can destroy them the way we are going. Best team in the land right now.

Best team in the land? Big shout there.

You're 4th with 10 games to go, nothing to shout apart really is it.
 
Actually I meant the best side. The first 5 games we had trouble due to the transfer sags and not having any players. Since then we are up there with city and united as having the best records. And thats with insane injury problems.
 
Surely the best team in the land would actually win something? Or are you only the best team in the land until your season falls apart, like it has for the past 8 years? Hardly a sign of persistance and determination...

Slightly bitter are we? What was lucky about today's game? And what was lucky about thrashing you? There has been nothing lucky about our current form, only in the Liverpool game we rode our luck a bit, but other than that, we have earned ourselves our current good position, and if you think it's been all down to luck then you are utterly delusional and bitter, but it doesn't matter, luck or no luck, we are down to 1 point behind you now, from 13 to 1 in a space of 3 weeks, now that's got to hurt, if I was you, i'd be real bitter too, don't worry, you will be more bitter when we end up above you in the league, ;-).

Season falling apart? At the current moment it's you're season that's beginning to fall apart while we are on an excellent run, talk about collapse, from 13 points above us all the way to 1 point, haha, and you want to talk about us collapsing? Spurs fans are truly delusional. It must be real painful isn't it? 13 points down to 1, ouch, that's got to really hurt.
 
So THAT's what its like supporting Arsenal.Think I'll stick with Spurs. We have more realistic expectations. As for the gap, well you couldn't go on being quite as tragic as you have been. All we wanted was was CL football and on the balances of probability we will get it. You lot start every season thinking you will win four trophies and gradually get handed your own arses year after year. So, no; we are doing better than we have for years. You are a drowning man that has managed to find enough energy to tread water for a brief time. glug glug glug....

Tell me what's innacurate. Have you been winning secret trophies again? (Remember the Emirates Cup doesn't count.) Glug glug glug We're not drowning! <laugh>

It's funny, a Spuds fan wants to talk about trophies, you do realise, you haven't won the league since 1961 right? But then again, we are dealing with a Spuds fan, so not very surprising.

Good, stick to Spurs, nobody told you otherwise, likewise, we shall continue to stick with Arsenal, a club with a far higher successful record than you're club will ever have, always remember that Spud boy, you can talk and rant all you like, bring up trophy droughts bla bla, but when it comes down to actual reality, actual success, we have a much higher success than you in every facet, trophies, money, fan base, stadium, there is not one single area where Spurs are better than Arsenal, NOTHING, and that's a FACT. So you can keep up with you bitter silliness, but they won't change the reality that we are more successful than you in every single area, or actually, you are far more successful than us in winning LESS trophies, how many leagues is it that you have, hahaha.

<wah>


Facts are - you were 13 points above us.

You have failed to win the last 3 games. We are now a single point behind you and we are eyeing up your third spot.

You are caving under pressure and we are loving every second of it.

This season was always going to be a transitional season. Getting rid of Nasri and Fabregas and replacing them with players who are not of similar ilk was going to affect the team negatively. Especially as most of the players and the fans were left in the blue about what was going on with the Nasri and Fabregas sagas. And after the 8-2 at Old Trafford, we had former Arsenal players like Dixon saying we'd struggle to make the top 8.

The transformation we've had since October has been phenomenal. We had another small bad spell in January and a shambolic performance against Milan, which was an anomaly in an otherwise reasonable league campaign thus far given the circumstances. We've done fairly well after the mess in the Summer and having to deal with the disorganization of the board and we've done better than where most people had expected us to finish.

If we can get significant improvements and hold on tight to van Persie, then we could be right up there again. But Champions League football is the pinnacle of what the modern day football player is attracted to.

RVP can play CL football anywhere he choses. If he wants to win stuff then the chances of doing it there are not great compared with several other clubs. He still hasn't signed and the fact that it is an international tournament year means he's going to be talking to lots of players who have won stuff and will tap him up given the slightest opportunity. Surely you can't really expect him to stay? At best, it is 50/50. If any of our top players were going to the Euros with not much left on their contract, I'd be worried.

As for the gap, don't get too hung up on it. We have both played some truly brilliant and some absolutely dire stuff this year and guess what? We are on nearly the same number of points. It's always where you finish that counts and not many of us were picking out our spots for the open top bus parade. We will hit the straps again in the run in and it will be close between us, which is really what all of us want I reckon, (with their own team finishing in front obviously.)

Our expectations WILL be realised this year, will yours? That is what people who support clubs like yours don't realise. You have one of the best managers in the world, a huge new ground, champions league money coming out of your ears and access to players we don't, (even if you do choose not to buy them) and you still think that finishing above us is a good season All you come come up with is the "we have won more than you" thing. Newsflash: 8 years is a long time and during that 8 years you have won exactly the same as us. If you are complacent enough to think that you are better because of what happened before then, I welcome it. You HAVE been better, but you most definitely are not the club you used to be. So keep patting yourself on the back and believing Wenger will take you to the promised land. Long may it continue.

Next year RVP will almost certainly be gone. Now take 33 goals off of your total. Where are you now? I suppose you're going to tell me that Gervinho, or Chamakh, or maybe even Podolski will fill the gap - dream on!!
