The North London Derby: Arsenal 4 - 4 Tottenham





Report:

Tottenham make their point in the mayhem





Spurs showed character to level a thrilling match, but for Arsenal it was the same story of brilliance undone by carelessness.





After a disappointing draw against hated rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Arsene Wenger has admitted he has a laborious task eradicating his side's self doubt.

I know they are young...but FFS...I would be embarrassed if an under-10 side performed like that. How can you not be awake after having a huge mistake make it a one goal game int he 89th? Then Sp*rs get two free kicks.....and we survive. At that point...it is clearly time to kill the game...and we had two very clear opportunities to take the ball in the corner and kill the last two minutes. Sickening and lessons like this should have already been learned....these players are not focused.

Yeah, it's not like the warning signs weren't there. The problem is, how many more lessons will it take before they are learned? I wonder what the Spurs fans think. Pedro???

I'm very, very sad right now.

Pedro said...

A life line, for sure. We'll have to see how long the Harry Honeymoon lasts. But it is great to see some of the main cogs (Bentley, Modic) playing better (much better).

Where can I find tape of the Bentley goal online? Everything I've found is blocked or removed due to 'rights'(?!). What about my right to see the 'goal of decade'?

The Editor said...

How can you tell if they were playing better if you didn't see?? Spurs were shite. This has all the goals:

Pedro said...

Thanks for the link. That goal alone shows he's playing better. Now about the keeper.....

Pedro said...

Oh, and who's more shite, the team who scores in the 89th and 90th minute or the team who gives up the 89th and 90th minute goals?

The Editor said...

I suppose The Arsenal were more shite. I have no problem admitting that.
