    I know I shouldn't be rooting for them because they are Spurs after all but I just can't help but rejoice whenever a Jose Mourinho team get thumped. I loathe Mourinho more than I loathe Spurs.

    Wow spurs are routing the Chelsk. I don't know how much longer Wenger thinks he has but surely his time as our manager is up after this season.

    He has done his job at Arsenal. Made us a secure club who are able to compete financially with Europes elite. I fear he may undo all his hard work if this continues.

    Dropping out of the top 4 would be disastrous for him and would make his position untenable imo. He needs to rally the team and make a big push for the second half of this season.

    The days of Arsenal defaulting on 4th seem well and truly over.

    Even ****ing Spurs are putting in performances that our sorry bunch can only dream of. They go above us despite us having a much bigger wage bill. even finshing fourth looks default at this point, this despite us spending more money.

    They just put five past a team managed by a manager, Wenger can't even beat.

    This would have been great opportunity for us to catch up some ground today.

    Only lucky thing for us is that our rivals barring Spurs and Soton only gained a point on us when really we could have gained 2 points on them

    Legend for them, but behind the likes of Scholes,Keane,Vieria,Fabregas and Lampard in terms of all time PL CM's for me.

    No chance Fabregas, not in the PL, and not in any other competition either. Still debatable in terms of technical ability regarding Lampard. Only Scholes, Keane, Viera and possibly Essien. Yaya Toure better as well possibly??

    Get a grip. Essien possibly, but no chance Fabregas? Cesc has been a stellar player in the PL since he was 16, and since then he only had two seasons away from the league. His assists record speaks for it's self.

    Who honestly gives a toss about his assists record. Apart from an honorary FA Cup trophy Fabregas achieved fck all for his club during his time in the PL before going to Barca and still has question marks about being a flat track bully. I have no bias here either way, Gerrard plays for our bitterest rivals and nothing would give me more pleasure than counting the number of players better than him. But there is no doubt Fabregas is a piss-fart next to him.

    It pains me to say it but I would only put.. Scholes, Vieira and possibly Makelele ahead of Stevie G for EPL central midfielders.

    The guy has regularly dragged mediocre Liverpool sides to victory for years now.

    Comparing what they won is pointless, Fabregas can hardly be blamed for that, he at times tried to drag us to titles on his own, but never had the support around him. And the top class manager. Fabregas has amuch better range of passing, a better vision of the game, if you discount pens, scores more. He practically ****s on Gerrard. And by the time he is finished, he will hold so many records for a midfielder in the PL and will be the best bar none.

    And in many ways he also stopped them being a better team because he has zero discipline and has left them exposed in midfield so many times. There is a reason Rafa stuck him out wide or behind a forward. In terms of being a pure CM, this guy is not anywhere near the level of Keane and co.
