Didn't we let Souness leave when very young, he had a decent careerMade me laugh when DT had a little tantrum about Kronke not investing his own money into Arsenal. Why the fuck should he? Arsenal have massive income sources of their own. It’s only really the financially doped clubs that see massive investment from their owners.
Tom Carrol needed more games at Spurs I think, he was coming through at the wrong time. Lots of turmoil at the club and pressure to perform. The club is much more settled now, and there is a much more stable base upon which to Blood youngsters into the team.
He’s doing a cracking job at Swansea, I think a lot of people seem to believe that if you don’t make it at Spurs as a youngster, it automatically means your not very good. But there’s plenty of players that have proved that wrong. Look at Peter Crouch, played for a few good clubs and even became an England regular after he didn’t make it here (at a time when we were bloody awful I might add)
I can actually see Tom Carrol kicking on with his career.
"We'll just have to keep pace with them till then"Some prime cuts from arse mania:
Sp**s defencecrap
very suspect once you beat their press. Plus they're playing a huge number of games on a gigantic pitch at Wembley + CL football and Cup games. They'll drop off physically after February. We'll just have to keep pace with them till then. Our relatively easier fixture list from March onwards would give us a great shot of moving past them.
Fatigue is our only hope of catching them. Currently, they look like the only side equipped to keep pace with City.
Another example which we touched on a while ago was Sanchez. Poor guy would have had his spirit broken by now had he signed for Arsenal and played for Wenger. He'd be in the u23 'rebuilding his confidence'.
Aurier is so crap
Gigantic pitch which is basically the same size as the Emirates? What secret formula do they have?very suspect once you beat their press.

Reddit football downloadsI actually thought the SKY pundits were very generous in their praise of us today, particularly Henry and Souness, the word brilliant was exercised frequently.
Can someone send me a link to the full game? I took a hit for the team when I switched the game off after they scored (yes I really am that superstitious), which seemed to work as we scored 2 more and they didn't.
I REALLY want to watch this game now.
The reply:Scouser 1 said:Battered by a great side with a great coach. They're brilliantly run club. Spurs should be the blueprint for where we want to be, but obviously go one step further and win things. We're miles off them, their success is built on a strong defence and of course a world class striker with skill and strenght in between. We all saw what our defence is like today, we shot ourselves in the foot time and time again gave ourselves no chance.
Scouser 2 said:To be fair, they were fucking average and we gifted them 4 goals

Think Liverpool might get the better of Spurs here but it'll still end up being 2-2 or something.
Kane 1-0
Kane scores, Liverpool are a mess defensively
My word, what a pathetic attempt at the offside trap.
Harry Kane is better than T. Henry
Great banter.
It hurts me too, but truth was told
I'll hurt you physically in a minute;
Quality goal from Son, Liverpool falling apart here
No cojones liverpool f**l off
I see sp'rs are still struggling at Wembley!
Liverpool is Mane.
off the crossbar from Son ffs :lol: absolutely rampant here Spurs
Spurs are a very good side. People ruling them out the title race were a bit daft.
Mourinho's decision to park the bus vs Liverpool is starting to look very stupid now, this defence is just asking to be got at.
Spurs look really good. It's ****ing disgusting
They are 2nd best team in league behind man city they are going to challenge and then failing to win a trophy
Have to say, Spurs looking good. They would smash us if we don`t sort ourselves out
He'll be the best right back in the league under Poch. Unlike Bellerin regressing under WengerSpurs can be got at.
You just need to beat their press and put their backline under pressure. To be fair to them Dembele and Wanyama are missed.
Aurier already showing signs of being a joke.
When are we playing against Spurs?
Liverpool have been awful since they beat us. The press should be all over them and off our backs.
This after Liverpool were flying in the midweek after winning 7-0 in the Champions League.
I guess I'm not too annoyed about Spurs doing Liverpool. Spurs are nailed on to make a CL spot whilst Liverpool and Chelsea look like our main competition for 3rd/4th
I don't think United will be in the title race. Spurs will finish second, though if City keep this up it will be a distant second.
Lol - Liverpool should open up an act on Broadway "The Art of Defending" - smashing hit
I kind of want to see Spurs grind down Liverpool here.
I' m talking 5, 6, or even 7 goals
lolConceded 3 at Watford
5 at City
2 at Leicester
4 so far at Wembley
I'll be devastated when they keep a clean sheet at the Emirates
How is Klopp going to talk his way out of this? Somewhere in Manchester, Jose readies his biggest bus for Spurs visit next week. No chance of a 4-4 with Liverpool's showing.
You can sell Kane and buy the Emirates.
This is ridiculous.
Spurs just ooze efficiency.
It wasn't that long ago that they were a laughing stock, now look at them.
Shows you how quickly things can change in football.
Mourinho 100% justified in showing this Liverpool team so much respect
Idiots like Souness were already backtracking from their euphoric state even before this game saying that top4 would be a success for this Liverpool team because of City financial power. What financial power have Spurs then, eh Graeme? What is Liverpool's excuse at all to be this ****?
I wonder how good some of these lads would look outside of Spurs. Not actually sure how good Alli, Winks and Dier really are.
Pochettino has done a real quality job there.
It's about making the most of what you've got.
A few years ago, I would have looked at their playing list and thought the likes of Eriksen, Dembele, and or Walker, just as examples, have some real upside but just haven't brought it together yet.
Poch has got a lot of those players to take the next step in their development.
I mean even some of their signings could be considered underwhelming i.e. Trippier, but Poch extracts the most out of such players and gets them playing a valuable role for the team.
Could you imagine Wenger plucking a Trippier from Burnley and making him look like a serviceable option at RB? I certainly don't. Although it's not the same thing, but Wenger tried something similar with Jenkinson and it failed miserably. Guy even failed with Chambers, who has real talent.
Errr what scrutiny you haven't brought any young players through for years. Were a fucking machine compared to you.It's not what Wenger thinks. It's how the players handle the situation. If you're a young player at Spurs, having a bad game doesn't lead to the same scrutiny it does at Arsenal. At Arsenal you'll be spoken about every which way from the papers to TV to online. No matter how much players say that they only care what their managers think, those things bother you. It's a much different profile to being a player at Arsenal than it is to being one at Spurs.

Really you think so? I'm not that convinced.
Jürgen Klopp - Gegendepressing
On the other hand Arsenal decided to attack, didn't have a shot on target and lost 4-0
They couldnt even take Dier of us, despite their slimy managers best efforts and they think they can get all 3 of our best attacking players, our top class manager. They had it far too good under Ferguson."-Rose, Eriksen, Ali and Kane in our team and we would be a force. Whats more likely is Poch replacing Mou down the line."
Err it'll be easier if you just came and supported us mate
