Sorry!

Just would've been a nice extension to the season for a neutral.

[dtaai-maai]

Too bad. It was certainly an interesting evening, though it might have been much more interesting if we'd scored a bit earlier!

No point now in looking back at all the draws that should have been wins. No point in wondering why we never bought a consistent striker. No point either in congratulating Arsenal on their 4th place - because I would'nt mean it!

I wonder if Bale will stay or go? Well, if he goes, let's hope it's for a record sum that will buy us the 3 or 4 top class players we'll need.

So near, etc.
Roll on 2013-2014!!


COYS!!

Aye, end of an era.

Onwards and upwards.

Well not really. You finished 4th last season.

I take it maths is not your strong point. I was referring to the record Premier League points total for us (clawing at something to be happy about tbh).

You keep propping up Roman's shameless business...

I'll keep supporting my football club.

You've got a decent side, I'm looking forward to next season, Spurs fans definitely should be.

Great Keeper, arguably the best defender in the league, good midfield, Bale. Decent side.

[arcadianagain]

Oh come on, arcadian, you can do better than that...

I was right though.

[arcadianagain]

Really... You think he could do better? Do you not read his posts? That's a normal arcadian post for me.

It's on a knife edge. I can't remember a time I've done so much channel switching before. Come on lads!! (Lads being both Spurs and Newcastle of course).

The next 45 minutes could determine the strength of next years squads.

Not a normal post from you though GLC, not a spelling mistake or error in grammar to be found. (except one)
I did a bit of channel hopping myself, Newcastle v Arsenal in German and Spurs v Sunderland in Spanish, results were the same though.
Perhaps someone could ask "Mumbler" AVB if he can tell his upward from his downward spirals now.

[BaaBaa.]

I'm just looking at "users browsing this forum" and waiting for a slam down.

BaaBaa, here comes the first one. I'v got these posts from different threads of football. Now summer holidays are only two weeks away from now (there'll be ten weeks of them for me) and I'll print these comments using big fonts and then I'll have a look at them every now and then during the vacation. I may snort a bit and have a laugh, then sip at my beer and look at them again. When the vacation is over, it's time for a new season and then we can start it all over again. Happy summer for all of you, no matter which team you support.

JimmyGraves:
Gareth Bale... The best player in the world!

May his stay at Spurs be long and prosperous.

Terry
As I said some time back - the Arse without RvP are distinctly average................

Bamboo Grove:
Sadly, I can't see us staging a come back this time.

JimmyGraves
It's about time you didn't!
We should have had a few more goals but the wins the main thing.

Terry:
7 points ahead and methinks that the CL is not for the Arse. Not that it's ours yet..........
Anyone want a French Manager
THANK YOU Zidane - for restoring the only Arse worth watching

Baa.Baa
Arsenal look all over the shop though, I think Liverpool will finish 5th, above Arsenal.

Bamboo Grove:
Solid performances for the Toffees and us today. Don't count your chickens, yet, Terry and Caller.

Bamboo Grove:
Interesting city battles in the premier league: the battle of Manchester seems to be more or less over, the battle of London still has three teams fighting for places 3-5 with the last one missing the CL, the battle of Liverpool seems to be going to the blue part of the Scouseland.

Terry:
Great result - maybe there is a God after all...............

Bamboo Grove:
Despite the match ending goalless it was a good one. Not many clear chances to score but entertaining anyway. In my own calculations before the Swansea match, I thought that we can draw against Everton and ManU and still finish above Chelskea and Spuds. In these calculations of mine I have Spuds to draw with Citeh and Chelskea and winning the rest and Chelskea drawing with Liverpool, ManU, Everton and Spuds and winning the rest. That way we'd end up in 73 points, Spuds in 72 and Chelskea in 71.

Then again, if you look at my IKTS success this season, who am I to predict anything at all. I've had the Arsenal calculations correct so far, though.

dtaai-maai:
It would also help if Arsenal got the results to go with their performances!

Terry:
I was also thinking that if we lost this one, it would be a travesty, bearing in mind the somewhat woeful performances of the Arse in the last few games and the luck that they have had. (Sorry BG)

So far so good but now we need to win the last three remaining matches, may not be as easy as it looks.

Well, I thought Spurs were just about second best for a lot of that game. Chelsea were much sharper in their passing and movement and quicker to close us down. That midfield trio of Mata, Ramires and Hazard were very impressive, especially in the first hour.

Having said that, Adebayor played well (and about effin' time too) and we finished strongly. I think Chelsea were happier to hear the final whistle. A draw probably a fair result, and keeps us in the running.
And it certainly wasn't boring!

2 games left. For us nothing less than wins against Stoke and Sunderland will do, and I think the fans have a right to expect that.
Can Chelsea draw or lose against both Villa and Everton? I'd put a tenner on that if I was given decent odds.
Can Arsenal fail to beat either Wigan or Newcastle? Bloody right they can.

This season ain't finished yet!

COYS!

Agree with that
A fair but still naff result for us.

Having to depend on others' results is not what we should be having to do.

If, during the season, Adebayor had turned in a few more stints like he did last night, it may have been different.

Terry and dtaai-maai:

Overall - quite inferior by the Arse.
Not fair, Terry. Credit where credit is due. They lost bravely, with spirit and pluck. Long may they continue to do so...

To BG:

I'll take a bit more care next season, pre-warned and all that!

[Bamboo Grove]

caller, congrats to Chelsea, I honestly belived for a long time this spring that you'd finish below both North-London teams. Well, well, next season with Mourinho back and the money from the Russkie, you might well beat the manure once again. Hopefully, we'll do some smart summer transfers and be there to challenge for the 1st. spot.

Agreed.
. BG. Tbf to my quote, Arsenal went on a hell of a run after that.

It's all a laugh.

See ya next season when we're Champions.
