Asked whether he thought it had been a penalty Wenger told the BBC that he thought it was not. He then responded in the affirmative when asked whether he thought Kane had dived.




Not in a million years. You can see Gabriel kicks his shin, and then Kane's foot gets blocked by the back of the defender's knee. It's so clearly a foul.

Anyone got the stats on the gap over 22 years? In the last 10 years the 'gap' has only been a point or so. They've been clinging on by their finger nails to this for a long time and it'll be nice to throw some facts in their faces.

Seems it's only twice in the last 12 years that the gap has been as big as it is now. @Archibald&Crooks wont like this but Levy's Spurs has done a lot to fix the damage of Sugar's Spurs as far as league finishes are concerned. The gaps from the 90's and early 2000's were embarrassing. As much as 45 points! But from Martin Jol onwards they have been living on a flimsy claim for the best part.

Wanyama steamrolled us. Fucking bent us over. Fucking Kane keeps fucking scoring penalties against us. Cech was head and shoulders our best player today. Fuck me if Wenger is staying on. Why the fuck did Giroud start. We knew Spurs would have the ball and we would be playing on the counter. Last fucking week against Leicester we are playing a bottom 10 side and they won't be having any of the ball and its all dinks and flicks but he starts Walcott upfront. Walcott has a fucking shit game against Leicester who the fuck would have thought, and now he doesn't play except last 10 mins today. While today Giroud was completely ineffective, because he's slower than fucking me. Fucking ineptitude. I am the biggest pro Wenger and I have always been nothing but proud to say that I see and share his vision for the club and that he is our manager but the fucking selections and the choices of how we use our players is ridiculous. The only positive I take from today was that Ramsey showed he can be effective in this 3-4-3 and cech having a great game.

Fucking OXLADE CHAMBERLAIN GIVEN UP ON THE DEFENDING BREAKING DOWN ON THE FIRST GOAL AND DOESN'T BOTHER TO THINK HE CAN EVEN STOP IT. FUCKING USE YOUR WEAK FOOT. I KNOW YOURE NOT A DEFENDER BUT YOURE NOT THAT STUPID.

Gabriel not eve 2 minutes later, 2 MINUTES LATER KANE IS FUCKING RUNNIG NOWHERE FUCKING YOU ARE FAST FUCKING KEEP UP WITH HIM WHY THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE IT THAT EASY WE JUST CONCEDED KEEP YOUR HEAD STRAIGHT.

Fuck Steve Bould being the fucking defensive coach, fuck whatever fucking team talk that these guys got at halftime they came out like they were losing 3-0 not the ones who were actually getting a better result. Xhaka was absolutely anonymous today and I legitimately thought he must have been subbed off because I had not seen him touch the ball at all. He's been a good addition and I like his passing range but he has been a bystander in several games this year and it happens when we don't have the ball. He's not a good enough at winning the ball back but really what else would we do?

One thing that bothers me the most about Arsenal is that not we lose, not we get blown out 10-2, 8-2, 6-0 whatever the fuck scorline we put together, not the fucking fan tv, not the fucking half ass title challenge every year but the arrogance at which we continue to handle the club and its matters with. Wenger is a fine manager but absolute power corrupts absolutely and he believes that no matter what his commitment to the club absolves him of all wrongdoing. That is not true. That's never gonna be true. You can win the league every year but when you lose a game you have to understand not only the reason that you lost but the liability to continue losing based on the same ways you were previously exploited. We have been murdered on counter after counter season after season and we always concede and we only just discovered that playing with 3 CBs allows more freedom for the CMs in buildup we so like to play. Who the fuck would have thought! Wenger claimed he wanted to implement 3 at the back as much as 6 weeks ago. But the players the little babies were on a losing streak and so he didn't wanna mess up the team's obviously amazing chemistry. This the kind of arrogance that keeps Arsenal and Wenger from reaching the level we all know they should reach.

At this point I don't even know what I expect from this sore excuse of a nightmare of a repeating season. The 10-2 vs Bayern was the most embarrassed I have been at a scoreline in my life. Fucking shameful. We fucking laugh at spurs for losing at wembley I would fuck rather lose all the group stage games at wembley than ship 10 goals in 180 minutes of football.

Shit doesn't fucking change until you wipe your own ass and Arsenal needs to be hosed the fuck down in some reality and I don't know if we can get that with Wenger and it hurts me because I really love what the man created for our club, not just a stadium and some trophies but a cultural revolution. However we , and Wenger, have to hold ourselves to our own fucking standards and the standards are not being anywhere close to met, and realize when they aren't being met that there are reasons that need to be addressed not just "we lacked sharpness" "we lacked intensity" where fuck do we leave the sharpness and intensity? I was at the Emirates for my first derby in nov 2012 and we spanked those fucking ****s 5-2 and fucking adebayor got sent off after he scored (fuck that ****). All I can think now is how much farther spurs have come in those 5 years while Arsenal are fucking even worse off while we are the ones who fucking should have won the premier league last year, and fucking comfortably instead we capitulate after we beat leicester and go top and blow the title away. That fucking 3-2 vs United, fucking LVG United. There is fundamental lack of mental strength in this team and there is a fundamental lack of leadership and accountability and guys the accountability does not start with the players everyone says "Arsenal need leaders" you can have all the fucking leaders you want but when the coach of the team holds no accountability it doesn't fucking make a difference.

sorry for the extra long post but god has this season has been disgusting and it fucking hurts because I love this team and this club and these players and nobody, not Wenger or the players or even the fans (though they have the excuse) have been professional enough this year its been a fucking joke.

We can make that up this season

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

If we win our remaining 4 games then we'll have 89 points, which is more points than Arsenal in every single one of those 21 years except for the "Invincibles"..........where they got 90 points!

I don't think anyone believes that the comment was just meant to be descriptive and then derogatory. It's clearly an unacceptable thing to say and there is no amount of justification to be offered to make it otherwise.

Exactly, these are how racists attempt to justify their language as not being racist. I would never accept that from Spurs fans, piss off and support Chelsea or West Ham if you're going to use language like that.

 

[Lilbaz]

It is shame on our club if there was racial abuse and goes against our ethos.

Why didn't robbie contact the club before the game and ask where it would be ok to film? Last north london derby late in the afternoon with passions running high and a lot of beer drunk he must realise that he would get some grief.

NO ONE CALLED HIM A BLACK ****!!!

I have no idea whether Robbie was called a fat grunt or something far more offensive. But I do know that Lego is not Playmobil.

That wouldn't of got him so much attention though, which he obviously craves.

He would have known it was going to lively and could of easily got the regular punters on it to meet him somewhere nowhere near the stadium. But no, that wouldn't have helped court any controversy.
