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.

hell-shocked? Brought down to earth? Well, this was a wake-up call for us all, wasn't it? And we all thought we were "miles ahead of the Gooners!"

Not only were we thrashed but we were second best at everything. They tackled better, passed the ball better, attacked far better and had a better team spirit. When we had the ball we always looked like we were going to lose it. When they had the ball they always looked like they were going to score.

I hate to say this, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO HAND IT TO THEM. I mean, Wenger and the whole team were under considerable pressure to put in "a performance" and they came up trumps, didn't they?

Have we got any excuses? Were there any key players missing from our side? Er, actually, NO!

Fancy playing them at Wembley next year when they've got Wilshere back?

The sad fact is that our two goals were incredibly lucky and theirs were brilliant. I like Ade, but he had a nightmare game, whereas Van Persie was absolutely brilliant.
Come to think of it, did ANYONE in our side play well? Did we actually put ONE decent move together?

Ah, well, let's move on. We've got Man U next (without Parker) and we need to bounce back quickly. I wonder if we will, after a dreadful performance like that?

This looked like the OLD TOTTENHAM to me.

We may still end up above Arsenal and grab a CL place but we're still in their shadow, that's for sure.

Time for me to get drunk!!!

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..."

very true.. It is unbelievable that San Siro home to the Milans supposed to be the no.1 stadium in Italy doesnt have the standard of Stokes homeground..
And it did terribly stop us...

Many of the guys would have killed Wenger for starting Benayoun over Ox and Gervinho...
