Not underestimating but merely assessing what could be at stake for the other team in Spurs' run-in. It's easy to say now 'this will be tough, that will be tough for them' (I've been thinking the same) but by the time those games come around, those teams could be in 'beach mode' already. I do think they'll drop points somewhere but you never know IF they might just win all, just like no one had thought we would win 13 league games in a row this season.

Exactly, which is why I wanted Arsenal to win last night. I wanted them to go to White Hart Lane with their top four hopes still alive, and their confidence high.

Arsenal's motivation should always be set to maximum for the North London derby, but now it looks like they are going to limp into Tottenham with their tails between their legs, and their heads all over the place. A fixture where we might have hoped Spurs would drop points, could turn into a goal difference boost for them instead. (Not that goal difference is going to matter much. We aren't going to win the league on goal difference. If Spurs close the points gap, they will automatically also improve their goal difference relative to ours.)

Indeed, said the same thing last night and had Arsenal won, Palace wouldn't be safe from relegation just yet and they'll have motivation when they play Spurs. But now? They might not even bother when that game comes around.

Sat laughing my nut off watching that last night. From always being easily in the top 4 to now falling short....it's absolute brilliant.

Extraordinary aerial shots of a previously undiscovered Amazonian tribe holding ‘Wenger Out’ signs have emerged today.

Thank God for arsenal fans like Ty! Their club will continue to sink to further and further down and they will keep suffering horrible humiliations because of them... I love it 

Arsene Wenger we want you to staaaaaay!

He looks like he's got some mileage on him but he's dressed like a schoolboy allowed to go to games on his own. Don't tell me he's a young man suffering from Arsenalitis?

Oh yes he is. Just look at those ridiculous headphones, I don´t get how a person that is older than say 16 would wear that.

If Barcelona don't get him then this is the manager Arsenal should get. 

Let's hope Wenger stays!

I heard that a Gooner had a go at that Robbie bloke and I'm not surprised. The geezer is disingenuous to say the least he's making money hand over fist by interviewing man children like that twat Ty. I can't stand Arsenal but I do know some genuine Gooners who think that Robbie bloke is making their fans look ridiculous (I know it's not hard) by getting wannabe Youtube stars to act up to the camera. By the way he'd never last five minutes at the Bridge before someone told him to fuck off.

I remember someone saying he is similar to scolari, and could possibly fail. I would only be concerned with Simeone, maybe Allegri

In comparison to Ty, I think Claude for example is a proper Arsenal fan. He isn't brainwashed and deluded like the pro-Wenger camp, no he is just a realistic person. Unfortunately he seems to have health problems, I hope he can recover.
