They're starting to crumble !!!!

Unfortunately as much as spurs are bottlers, we have been the bigger bottlers this season. They only have one game away at west brom and the rest are at wembley. I don't see them dropping points. We have much harder fixtures with burnley away and liverpool at home. 

It's hard to laugh at spurs and yell bottlers when they came into our own backyard with all the pressure on them and still managed to kick our ass and play us off the park.

yeah. they are still bottlers and i personally don't see them challenging in the near future. i feel their best chance has gone for the title back when leicester won it and last season, the rest of their rivals will continue to strengthen. i just feel we've been very disappointing this season and it bothers me the games we lost, which were winnable games. if had won against bournemouth and beat an average arsenal side at home, we would be leading them or right on top of them, but we totally threw top four away and it grinds my gears to think about. 

HA! Team of the year - Otamendi and Walker!  Yes, that's credible.

The only gripe i have with that team of the year is the positions. Eriksen in the centre of 4-3-3 midfield? That makes no sense. It should be a defensive minded player in there.

Btw did anyone last night see where Brighton were breaking after a corner and was basically through on goal only for the ref to pull it back for a free kick in the box for Brighton? So much for playing advantage. Advantage tottenham maybe the ref basically bailed them out. Surprised no one has made more of that.

Well this is the standard we all should be very very familiar with. I mean they are right there in front of our faces.....right at you, while laughing......and yet it beggars belief how so many cant or refuse to believe it. I dont know what else they have to do to make it more obvious...........this League is so rotten, so dirty. I said days ago there will be no f**king chance we get top 4 instead of stinking spurs......the poweres that be would and will not stand aside while their shinning light loses out.....in a World cup year no less. And of course the media will say nothing about it....they know what is up, plus they stand to lose Money.....man ive grown to hate this League so much.

there you go......another 100% pen going utd way.

The ref in the utd game is not even bothering to hide his agenda. Utd getting away with two penalty appeals and a minimal contact, fall to the ground by pogba, given as a foul. Disgraceful.

Its the benchmark they have set......nothing is going to change that until it all comes out.....its no different than wwe.......all scripted......the Wind blows the way they want.

Hasn't it already come out with d!ckheadberg admitting he fixed the match against Spurs 2 seasons ago?

Ohh thats just like a dust on a mountain of dust.......other ex-ref said he was ordered to what to write in his match write-up........by the higher ups. But of course the media wont latch......they stand to lose alot of Cash if they picked on it. They know what is up but the Money and the bias obviously make it worthwhile. I love Chels.....but the obvious bias and corruption kill any hope and excitement I had before.

About bloody time! Arsenal fans must be rejoicing. 

Feels surreal.

End of an era.

I really hope Atleti paste them and they crash out of the Europa league.

Him winning the damn thing and going out on a high would be too much for me to bear.

 

Hung on a little too long, but glad Arsenal have let him go out with some grace. 

Be interesting to see if he stays in the game or retires. I could see him becoming France manager post the WC.

He's left them with a really good team actually. Whoever comes in should have a much better job than Moyes did at United.

Conte to Arsenal? 

Arsenal enter the fray for the new manager market, I wonder if they'll be viewed as an attractive proposition as they've proved to stick with their manager through a lot of tough times.

I reckon the next manager will survive a couple seasons of no CL football

End of an era for English Football, you won't get many mangers come close to serving 10 years at a single club, let alone two decades. 

The high turn over churn of managers is now the norm and I don't expect Arsenal to be any different going forward. 

As much as anything else, I'm intrigued to see how Arsenal's transfer policy changes with a new manager coming into the club. 

As for Wenger, doesn't sound like he's retiring... Wonder if PSG will make a move for him now?
