Thought we controlled the majority of that half that goal clouds our judgement

Exactly. Dunno what game some of you lot are watching. We largely controlled the half.

Always susceptible to a break but then we said we didn't want to play for a draw, right?

A set-piece own goal divides us.

The goal stands due to the ball coming off Wimmer if one of there players would of touched it it would of been offside. Thats how it stands!

It's a stupid rule. Wimmer wouldn't have touched the ball if those players weren't offside.

Massive 45 minutes now for Poch and the players - make or break time, something out of the game could do us a world of good while a defeat might totally fuck our all ready, almost non existent confidence.
I just cannot believe how poor we have been since the City game. We are miles away from the big boys, we have been crying out fro a top top striker and a Modric style play maker. We get a panic buy from Levy who would of been crucified if he didnt buy anyone on the last day of the window. Moussa fucking Sissoko shocking!!!!

First 20-25 minutes were composed and we were the better team. Since then they've got to grips with our formation, blocked our passing options as we build from the back and we have struggled to put together decent spells of possession.

I agree with that but despite having the territorial advantage we didn't have a shot on target in that time.

Arsenal probably had a 10 minute spell where their passing game was crisp and at a good level and in that time they started finding spaces in and around the box.

Is Howard Webb dumb or what?

No attempt to interfere with play. Can he just stand in front of Lloris and still not be offside then?

Bollocks Webb. Sorry but that's bollocks.
If that is indeed the rule, then it's silly.. Rio is right, and Wright is also right. As a player, they can't take that risk. It smacks of a rule decided by a guy in an office with no thought to how the game is played.

We've been the better side today so far.

I think the biggest difference right now is watching the two squad set up in the attacking end. Spurs set up 25-30 yards away from goal, while Arsenal are setting up just outside the box - much more threatening.
