    It is very frustrating but it's inevitable when you see just how much we rely on the same core group of players season after season, to win us matches or get us out of trouble. It's always Defoe, Lennon and Bale - players that have been at the club for ages. When is anyone else going to step up and show some backbone, some drive and some fire in their belly?

    The players we got in this season on the whole have been a huge disappointment to me. Dembele is the most disappointing. Languid, gives the ball away, very few goals and hasn't shown any leadership or ability to dictate matches. No replacement for Modric. Dempsey just isn't a Spurs player but at least he tries hard and puts in a shift. Sig is okay but again, looks to be a utility player, not an enhancement. Holtby is useful but still young and developing. Adebayor... let's not even go there.

    Only Verts and Lloris have improved us.

    All of our rivals bring in players that improve the squad, create competition and depth. They look like natural winners in their mentality and style of play. We look like we are always chasing and playing catch up. It's so annoying but it's the way it has always been at Spurs since I've supported them. And so as usual, we bottle it when it comes to the business end of the season.....

  4. Is there a single senior United player who didn't go on the piss the night before this game? If so, please get him on the field.

    I'm telling you, United would have been better off fielding its youth team today, as they'd stand more chance. At least they would have been limited to lemonade.

    The only thing I'm consoling myself with is the fact that Arsenal cannot score more goals against a team that is clearly carrying a collective hang-over.

    Why isnt Howard Webb refereeing? I bet Fergies got something to say about that. More United players have been booked today than in the whole of Webb's career.

    Alright then, 8 or 9 times out 10 Chelsea win. It's more like 5/10 for Tottenham.

    I'm surprised Dowd isn't wearing a Gooner shirt. He's booked numerous Utd players for some innocuous tackles, but the Gooners are getting away scot-free with the same stuff!..

    Fergie needs to bring on Webb. This Dowd chap has missed a couple of good sending off chances

    Not sure how that's a handball, he had no time to react and that's where your arms will always be when you're running.

    Typical pantomime Arsenal fans though, "you're not fit to referee" rings out even when decisions are going their way <laugh> Apparently they should be given everything.
