Match Threads Arsenal vs Spurs - Match Thread (Carabao Cup)

What kids?

That was a stronger team than they put out against Southampton at the weekend.

Blimey, Merson's on point tonight.

Not entirely sure about that...

He said if Poch goes, everyone goes. Dele, Kane, Eriksen etc. Mass exodus. They’re only there for Poch. And ‘who could spurs get if he went, they’d have to start all over again’ like nobody good would want to come.

Now while the players thing will have a little bit of truth in it... a) they kiss the cockerel, not a picture of Poch and b) Levy would never let more than one, possibly 2 leave and if he did, it would be for unbelievable money. C) if he left, we could get possibly any manager in world football if they were available, in my opinion.

Merson loves a bit of hyperbole. He’s almost right sometimes but often ruins it with the need to be controversial. Most of the time he’s just a plum though.

Petr Cech is going to be a great keeper when he matures.

Not our business if their squad lacks depth

Better CB than a LB?

could be. He only needs to focus on the defensive aspect whereas he's not dynamic enough to be bombing up amd down and being a threat in attack. Compared to Rose who has the skill and tenacity to get forward and beat men then get back and block crosses. Think we're going to see more of it over the xmas period.

 

[rossdapep]

I was hoping it would go that way ?.
I say these thing as a kind of self defence system of years of us blowing leads against them

I know what you mean. I did even at 2-0

Just watched the highlights and noticed that after Dele got hit with the bottle Sokrstis tried to make it look like it was a Spurs fan who threw it. Snidey little fuck.

We never get an easy draw! But at this stage you have to beat the best so we just have to go for it.

Think it was sarcasm on his part

Good for us, most things go over cech's head these days.

Ok quick reality check!
I’m sure all of us would have been happier if tonight’s game was at our “ home” whatever!
And I’m pretty sure most people thought a lucky arse win . Blah blah blah mainly because we got whipped.
Now tonight we were the better team by a mile, not lucky , better!
We won convincingly, against a team who wanted to beat us!
Thier fans can make up what they want, we were so much better.
Ok the draw.
Burton, would have been nice
Avoided city , got Chelsea, who we always do ok against.
It’s been a really great evening, it has honestly.
So let’s all say” we only won” yesss and cheer
Goodnight ?

Yup. Just my type. So not prejudiced or anything...

Unfortunately, you're not hers

 

[olliec]

I think he looks more like this guy

 

[Lenny Leonard]

Our fans were incredible tonight, I was in the Goons end but would’ve almost given my 1st born to be in the away end

I'm afraid any top tier manager will want to sign top tier player and Levy will balk at it. That's why we can't afford to lose Poch.

they rested thier whole team prior to our game and beat us 4-2, now we play them and on equal par and we come out comfartable winners 2-0.
dont think we shifted beyond 2nd gear tonight,
