Need to capitalise on this tomorrow night. West He's cup final they'll be up for it but we should have the quality to win it, especially with Kane back in the starting line up

Really need to win tomorrow and we really are right back in this when, before Christmas, quite a few people thought we were out of it and we'll have the momentum.

Not surprised. Under Poch we've consistently started hitting our stride at this stage of the season. 3 seasons in a row now as far as I can remember.

Tonight's result is perfect providing we get the three points tomorrow. Keeps us close to Chelsea which is very important as they'll probably do us again at Stamford Bridge.

What are you basing that on? I would say one of the biggest ways in which our mentality has improved under Pochettino is precisely that we don't panic if we go behind.

The fact that we went to pieces at the Emirates and at Man City and at Anfield last year. I can't remember the last time we went away from home to a top 6 rival and came from behind to win...

Not many teams have done that either tbf also didn't we come against City (2-2) last Feb?

If you look at any of the top 6 sides, they rarely lose at home no matter who the opposition are, Man City aside this season.

I think the last time we came from behind v a top 6 side would have been the 3-2 game at the Emirates in 2010 by the way

I rate Morata, but his technique on all those 1-on-1s was shocking. Terrible body position.

That 2-2 scoreline was the perfect result for us, they have both dropped points. Now COYS, forget about all this 'it's their cup final nonsense' frankly I'm fed up with it, we need to be up for this from the off, and if we take a lead we must not take our foot off the gas, complacency has ruled for far too long with us in this fixture against West Ham. If we drop points then this 2-2 draw will count for nothing !!

Don't give them any encouragement or advantage as they will take it with both hands. Don't get drawn into stupid spats that lead to us going down to 10 men. That's exactly what they will want, it's about time we imposed our game and pressure on them with no let up.
Get it out wide move the ball quickly, get behind their defence in the way Liverpool seem to against them and we can run up a similar score to the ones they achieve against them. Don't try to slow it down and get dragged into a scrappy game and the same old shit in the middle where we are constantly trying to thread the ball through the eye of a needle and six to eight of their players in the middle.

I don't understand. You think that's funny or something?

Tbh I diddnt like the flag thing and tbh anything to do with the death of a child i don't find funny. It's dark humour. Some like it. Some don't. I usually do like stuff that shocks. Not a big fan of that. Meh.

That tweet is certainly doing the rounds though...

I don't like the way fans use the death of that girl as some sort of footy banter just because he's a rival player, it's crass.

Never like the wenger Madeline stuff either tbh. In fact the whole wenger stuff is boring as fuck.
