Nah, the big brother just put his squirt kid brother in his place today.

I was generally pleased with what Redknapp said and found him very agreeable and respectable. lol can't honestly say Wenger would have reacted the same way had we lost in a similar manner. He would have said
"Well uhhh the ref....the pitch...*insert injured player* is missing....there was a dog barking very loudly..."

yeah, This game i s major wake up call to Spuddies. and it would make the shut up for a very long time

not only to spuds but to anyone in the Spuds bandwagon...i got a mate who kept telling me that Spuds are a better team than us. I told him that it's was highly debatable. I also told him the only reason Spuds are there is because we had a shit summer and a shit start to the season.

Walcott: "I hold my hands up; I didn't have the greatest first half. I forgot about that and worked hard in the second half."

Van Persie: "I find it funny that Theo gets criticism. He gives me loads of assists and I, and everyone, know that he can score."

looks like I missed a cracker of a game. Dumb EPL schedule

Congrats on a fine win.

Done with the post match stuff. Sorry to say it's a big one, but I think it's one of my best.

spurs forums are funnier than united forums when they lose

Especially to us, and when they lose. And when they lose to us. And 5-2


Damn, now I feel bad, I'd really give a high 5-2 any Spurs fan right now :/

Good to see someone who recognizes Rozza's immense contribution. Not that anyone in particular here didn't.

What a result, though. I've seen the highlights, and Jesus, take a bow everybody!

Same for me, but I was at work - and when I came home there were 15 minutes to go, but my ISP trolled the f*ck out of me - and couldn't see even those 15 minutes

Now I'm downloading the full match, if you need links I'll send them to you.

send me links urbanroots PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i barely woke up for this game, and i was still late, at least i got to watch half-time had only 3 hrs of sleep, but shitty feeling is gone!!

Russian paper about todays game: It was like a tale from Anderson's story, where all the birds and cocks laughed at the black duck, (down 2 zero) and then the ugly duckling turns into a beautiful swan and enjoyed the rest of his life, being the best

something like that


a link for me too please, if its HD

That would be wonderful

Wenger: "We play now to make up for our bad start to the season."

(2 wins from first 7 games followed by 12 wins from last 19 league games)

Since Spurs beat Arsenal 2-1 at both clubs have won 12 of their last 19 league games. Interesting.

Rozza was immense today! Never stopped running.

Tbh, he has been playing very good in recent games. And I hope he keeps it up.

On the win: We'll what can I say. It was juz astonishing. Absolutely amazing, but not suprised. After we went 2 down I always knew we could come back. And we totally owned them in the midfield.

If we play like we did today against Milan......then......well, we never know. It would be some miraculous shit, though.

But i'll believe. Because I have faith in my team.

UP-THE-ARSE

enjoy the rest of your night gooners. And I know for sure we won't have a dreaded blue Monday tomorrow.

And yeah. Almost forgot. If you know some Spurs fans, even if you're not friends with them. Let 'em have it. Remind them that North London Is Red

THE NORTH OF LONDON IS REDDDDD

I love this great feeling, I can't wait for us to actually get our act together and win some trophy

lol Song has invented his own position

My goodness Rosicky was AMAZING today. and Walcott went from normal Walcott in the 1st half, to big game Walcott in the 2nd half.




rosicky

It was definitely Arsenal playing the game we know they're capable of playing. I honestly think Spuds didn't see this coming.

(I know I didn't!)
