Did anyone see DT's reaction after Spurs 2nd?

One for the agesΒ :lol:

Yes! I haven't laughed that hard in as long as I can remember. He literally jumped up and pounded the ground like a toddler. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

It's also kinda weird hearing Robbie cursing during the watchalong when henormally never does in their regular videos. That's how bad Arse are. They make mild mannered Robbie lose his cool.

Usually going to Everton and Wolves i'd shake hands on winning one of them but on current form we should be winning both (4 points minimum).

We need to take advantage in fixtures where sides like Tottenham,Β Liverpool, United and CityΒ have come up short this season....Everton, Wolves, West Ham.

How the hell did Arteta fall into that trap. Everyone knowsΒ Jose will defend and then counter. Out of all the games he could've chosen to play more attacking, he chose this one. lol.

Yeah, what a looney strategy.

Thought he could take the game to them like he's some kind of MF. ...

Should have given JM a taste of his own medicine.

Putting Arsenal aside though,...more teams should look at our performance against Spurs and do better at cutting out that link between Kane and Son...Especially by swamping Kane. Do that and you nullify nearly 50% of their scoring chances IMO.

Debate about Mourinho's football is already floating about...

The annoying thing is the number of bandwagon fans that have jumped on the Spurs bus parade in recent weeks simply because they are leadingΒ by goal difference atm.

I don't want to be hypocritical, because we've utilized the same style of play to get results in recent seasons, but we supported it because it helped Chelsea win.

I can understand if Spurs fans are okay with it, but for mainstream football fans to claim that this is a new found football philosophy and display of tactical geniusΒ that trumps others, is a bit much for me.Β

Mourinho typical 2nd season.Regullon and Hojberg signings pretty much transform the make up of spurs team.

The most interesting team imo is still United, if they can find a way to put pogba and fernandes in the same team and still look very balance (what happened to them last season after the break), they are imo one of the best team, i am not sure how especially with the makeup of the team.Β

What we did was we kinda asked our fb especially Chilwell to play conservative. So son like his goal against arsenal, won't play one on one against cb.Β 

It f*** up our offense also though because Werner can't play without support.Β

Listen, I simply cannot understand why there is 'Spurs are going to win the title' vibes around and people are truly afraid they might go all the way. I mean ok maybe Mourinho might have done it this way in the past, but not when he's had that many quality, and I mean really, really good teams that are challenging, too. For me Liverpool and City are nailed on to go head to head for the league title again and are the two main candidates. Not the sole ones, but still easily the two best teams around, then there is Chelsea and it might sound funny but United will go deep, too IMHO and the thing is that all this four teams have better attacking players than Spurs.

You might think Spurs will park the bus v the big teams like they truly did v us, City and Arsenal, but they did not look that good v Burnley, West Brom and Brighton either, three wins in which they shot less than 8 or 9 shots on goal combined. In three matches...

It's like a honeymoon period for them now and Kane looks like he's playing the Kante role now. They will fall apart as soon as they go on a winless streak and Mourinho starts blaming someone, anyone. In his mind they are now first because of him, soon Son or somebody else is going to be at fault for not tracking back on Ola Aina.

On another note happy for Arsenal's brilliant title challenge yet again, fuck that obnoxious and deluded fan base.
