Great performance from all our players today. But I have to say Mason covered every blade of grass and Kane well what can I add that everybody else has already said on here he is just fantastic at the moment. Long may it continue.

We beat Chelsea and Gerrard announces his retirement putting us off the back pages.
We beat the scum and gooner/racing legend AP McCoy calls it a day?

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

When the half time whistle went there was actually applause.

The fans will always show appreciation when the effort is there.

I know it was a NLD, but if we can play with even half that sort of intensity for the majority of the rest of the season the atmosphere will always be to our advantage. We'll also probably end up in the top four.

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...
Does it matter? People were (wrongly) concerned because they thought his methods wouldn't translate to the players. Clearly that was bollocks.

Wenger is genuinely funny at these pressers.

Someone asked if Harry was good enough for England and he said with the amount of goals he has scored if he doesn't get the nod he will be inundated with passports from other countries.

It was the way he said it.

I can see how he charms the kids into his ice cream van now.

What's amazing is only four or five months ago there was a thread where the consensus was there were no players in the squad to get behind and love (not literally). Now we have so many heroes.

Wenger's been here nigh on twenty years and he still sounds like some **** blowing bubbles when he talks.

A little confused at Lamela's inclusion and Townsend's omission.
IMO Llamela is a future superstar, and we just need to give him minutes on the pitch and be patient.

I think Townsend has pretty much reached his ceiling. Looked a fantastic prospect, but has now plateaued completely. He's kinda Lennon Mk II.

There's been some discussion about how Spurs were still not playing Poch's way, i.e. not the high intensity, up-field pressing. Well they certainly are now. Arsenal players never had a minute's peace before they were being closed down. Forced tons of early passes that went absolutely nowhere. That was a genuine joy to watch.
