Its ok Spuds fans, let it all out, its fine. Theres no broader shoulder to cry on than a Gooner shoulder............

[Swampy1982]

Honestly nothing to "let out" - I was happy with the result. Just surprised at some of the hypocrisy.

Seems to be a thing for teams who play in red.

Somewhat surprising how quick some of you are to call out Kane as a cheat when things like the above happened in the very last game you played. Did you go to the Arteta school of injustice?

That being said, I respect the more pragmatic of you who saw the game and ref decisions for what they were.

Having our our own diving s / cheats doesn't make your diving s / cheats any better.

Better luck next season. You might win something.

Then again no you fking won't

Son is too smart for cedric to try that fancy stuff with. He has been playing football with the world class cheat that is Harry Kane. He will go down at any contact in the box.

Unlike your lads, who will go down in the box without any contact it seems? Another booking the ref missed.

[Wonderman]

So assuming that White can just about hold himself together, and Gabriel done himself a mischief:
:
Ramsdale
Tavares LB
White CB
Tomi CB
Cedric RB
Xhaka
Elneny
Saka
Odegaard
Martinelli
Nketiah

If White is also out...

Ramsdale
Tavares LB
Tomi CB
Cedric RB
Xhaka to sit in front of back 3
Elneny
Saka
Odegaard
Martinelli
Laca in holding role in front of midfield
Nketiah solo up front


Everton throwing it away at Brentford, they then face Palace before us. Hoping that the Everton match is still relevant after tomorrow...

[RacingPete]

Flying up for the game tomorrow, but in Newcastle end with some Newcastle friends. Not confident as Newcastle doing well, but then we do seem to do well against Eddie‘s sides.

Even if we lose tomorrow, it'll still be possible.

I feel like that Everton defeat is bad, bad news for us. They're going to be desperate going into the last game.

I know it's so defeatist and reactionary after the Spurs game, but there's now enormous pressure on Arsenal and I'm not sure of our ability to handle it.

Everton still have a midweek game before you lot, heres hoping they mess up against palace and still need to get something at your place

I feel it is advantage Spurs now unfortuamtley. Their final game is a guaranteed win (as much as you can have one in PL). I fear we will drop points in one of our 2 final matches. Especially with injuries we have.

BUT - we never expected to be competing for Top 4 at start of season, especially 3 games in (well I didn't anyway). Have to take the positives either way. Top 4 is a massive bonus if we get it.

Already looking forward to next season with our squad plus a summer of additions.

[Glassman]

For years, spurts have been ridiculing our CL run. Fighting for 4th place has been the highlight of their season so far.

It's still in your hands. That said, I agree with you that Arsenal will drop some points. The other thing is that GD will go Spurs way under any realistic scenario. Disagree Norwich away is a guaranteed win for us, but we should do it. I can see you drawing one of your two remaining games.

My feelings for the ridiculous top 4 trophy hasn't changed, I just want to finish higher than your mob.

If Conte stays I would wager any amount Tottenham will finish above Arsenal next season.

Because if he stays it means Levy gets his chequebook out.

And already we have outperformed Arsenal in the league in the Conte era.

Arteta simply isn't in the front rank of coaches. TBH I think Arsenal could do a lot better.

[MOBB]

^ fair point on Conte vs Arteta...........however if Arsenal do get 4th, get rid of some dross players and get a few quality ones in, it could be interesting. I am starting to think Arteta might be a big name manager in a few years time and is worth the risk of sticking with.

Bear in mind we have gone from Mustafi, Luiz, Leno type players to far better imo, and he has dealt with Ozil and Aubameyang pretty savagely.

Could be wrong though lol

Oh, and its essential we toughen up mentally, probably due to youngsters but we wont win much by folding like we sometimes do.

I agree that Conte is the better manager and it’ll be a tough ask to finish above Spurs when he has a full season behind him.

Don’t agree that it’s our younger players letting the side down. I think if anything it’s been the other way around, the younger players have been getting it done in a way the senior players haven’t over the last few years!

Nervous about tonight. A win would be huge. Well, a win is the only thing that matters.
