I seriously can not believe we are 3-0 up considering how ****e we have been, sloppy, slow at times and rarely getting the 2nd balls. But hey ho! Maybe Lady Luck is on our side for once! The really good thing is we can not play the 2nd half as badly as the first. COYG!! and Come on Nottingham Forest!

HT. 0-3. What a half.

In some ways, I don't think we've played that well, but I guess you don't need to against this Spurs side if you know how to exploit their weaknesses. Two corners and a counter attacking goal have us well in control of the game.

In general play, feel like we've been a bit sloppy in possession and a bit open, but we've defended our box well and have been composed when under pressure. We've also looked dangerous on the break.

Spurs have been way too aggressive and their players are pushing so far up the pitch that there are gaps to exploit if we can string 3-4 passes together.

You'd expect us to sail through to full-time now, but I know what we're like, so I'm not holding my breath <laugh>. Just see it out now, lads.

We haven't played that well offensively. I think thats why Arteta was looking annoyed most the half.

But our defence is a joke.:emoticon-0167-beer:

Ben White just seems to be getting better and better.
 
Football is a funny old game. We didn't play that great in the first half, yet had 3 goals. We've played much better second half, yet have no goals and have conceded.
 
Don't want to jinx it, but we've managed the game superbly since conceding. We've defended well and still creating plenty in transition and on the break. We're winning a lot of duels and seconds balls in the middle too.
 
Gary Neville pissed me off today

Anyone notice how he went silent at EVERY Arsenal chance or goal?

But screamed in delight when Spurs scored. What a biased ****
 
Happy with that.<applause>

Am not bothered it wasn't our best performance. Toughest of our remaining games done.

Just need a City slip up.

2-3. FT.

Thank GOD for that. It should never have been that nervy or close, and we gifted them a way back into the game, but at this stage of the season and - especially in a north london derby - all that matters is the W, no matter how we get it.

Huge, huge win. Maintain a 4 point gap on the top of the table and north London is still red. Onto Bournemouth now. <ok>

COYG <diva>

Crazy game in the end that !

Should have put the game to bed at 0-3 but an absolute gift got them back in it.

Love the fact that we've beat them on their own ground, secured St Totts day, put ourselves further ahead at the top and dented their top 4 chances <laugh>

<party>

First time we've beat Spurs away back-to-back since 1988 under George Graham apparently.

Do you know how annoying it would be that we have every metric in our favour of being the best team in the league, yet we still may not win it? Ah, pain.
