I would like to watch this game again to be honest, now that I know we've won. At least then I can sit back and enjoy it a lot more. I feel so tense all game in these fixtures I can't really soak it all in. If we had got a couple of goals up I would have relaxed a lot more. Having said that it wouldn't be Tottenham to make it comfortable. So often we have these nail-biting finishes that end in elation and relief when the win is confirmed. It's probably a good thing though because it brings out the real passion and just means so much when the final whistle goes.

I loved watching Kane celebrate like a true fan of the club at the end too. The great thing about that is I know from watching this fixture over the years how much it sucks watching the opposition show that passion after winning them the game. Now I know that the shoe is on the other foot and no doubt their fans will be cursing Harry Kane after this one. It;s funny because before the game they showed Ian Wright talking about what the fixture means to him and it reminded me of the times he would do it against us. Now we have that striker who can do it to them.

for those who blamed rose for the goal i think you need a lesson on physics. welbeck already had momentum, rose had to turn from a stand still and then start sprinting, no player wins in that situation.

worth chewing a yellow there, I reckon. Maybe a bit early. Although he more than made up for it, yeah he might have delivered a better final ball in the first half but was excellent overall.

I wonder if Lord Sugar is complaining about his bezzie friend, Arsene, because he has been lauding him relentlessly.

Fans were fantastic today, no getting on the backs of players, no booing at half time and constant singing even when losing.

Seemed like a complete change in mentality which complimented the players. Allowed them time and patience to get back into the game

...it's called getting caught 'flat-footed' - Rose should've anticipated that better, though it was just a blip in an overall decent performance - he put in his shift like everyone else...

Poch has just said in his main presser that it was the greatest support he'd seen at the lane.

Another little snippet. He needed quite a few questions translated for him. I thought his bad English was a bit of an act. Clearly its not.

I don't really understand how after living here for so long he cant speak better English.

Wengers on now. Still praising our cm but reckons both our goals were cheap goals. He had a cheeky smile on his lips though...

I am of crying of happiness...

Look at that team....Eric Dier, Danny Rose, Walker, Mason, Bentaleb, Eriksen, Harry Kane
Two years back - If anyone said these youngsters will dominate Arsenal & beat them fair & square would say it is delusional.

Not anymore...

Another Proud Spurs fan today. COYS

He just needed to be at 45 degrees and would have been able to catch up. The problem was that he probably wasn't expecting it as Vertonghen went to win the ball.

Yeah but what I am saying is they will be much more aware next season. The next season for Kane will be a massive challenge to see if he can replicate his form. Clive Allen scored nearly 50 goals one season but that was as good as it got.
To replicate his form next season is Kane's challenge and Kane's alone. Brendan Rogers is not gonna wait till next season to try and stop him, he's gonna do that next game, I'm sure every club in the country, hell even the world are well aware of Kane at this point in time.

A fantastic match, we played really well

Mason was everywhere
Kane scored and worked hard for 95 minutes

and once again we scored just before the end
that proves that pochs training programme
pays off ;)

really seeing a change in our mentality now and i love it. We were aggressive without being dirty, and we came back when we were losing. I never thought id see our club mindeset change, but i think we are witnessing the beginning here. With an academy of top talent, and the right management structure, we could be heading to a very promising period.

im off on the lash.
