what a day, what a week.

arsenal are firing on all cylinders, looking like potential champions of europe. while spurs are looking a bit nervous struggling to beat WBA at home and losing to a newcastle team that had lost their last 5.

to be honest im very surprised that tottenhams ok season has lasted this long and that our indifferent start lasted as long as it did.

with 1 foot in the champions league semi final after totally outclassing and outplaying italy's top team and only 2 points behind the scum from down the road with a game in hand and them to come to highbury our worst season in 10 and tottenhams best might not turn out too bad after all.

Since Wenger has changed Flamini for Cygan your team have an attacking edge on the left, and your results have changed.

Spurs don't deserve to be in the Champions League, we're the 5th best team in the league and I will be happy if we come 5th.

WOW, i must admit i thought my post might get a big bite from you .. Im not sure if that is an honest response or one where you throw it back in my face if at the end of the season if you grab 4th.

you are right though since matty flamini has come in at left back and replaced cygan we are alot better both going forward and defensivley.

cygan is that bad i wouldnt even wish him on you .

[Colchester Kev]

NEM , NEM , NEM .... put the rose tinted glasses back on mate .... Yes if someone offered us long suffering spurs fans 5th or 6th we would have snapped their arm off... But while it is mathematically possible to finish above those purple pansies , I will continue to Smack them round the face with it.

We still have to go to that toilet up the road, and when we win the last ever North London derby on that manure sodden dump, they will never be able to forget it.

Chin up matey ....The futures bright ... THE FUTURES WHITE !!!

COME ON YOU SPURS !!!!!

[Nem]

This season was our big chance. Arsenal not firing on all cylinders and we blew it by drawing to many of our games and losing to shite like Newcastle and Fulham. Next season it is gong to be very hard to break into the top 4. The top 4 will not be broken for a very long time...

Kev: My chin is up mate, tbh it's good to be a rival to Arsenal again.

Whilst I agree that Flamini has been a revelation at left back, and obvoiusly a big improvement on Cygan,
I feel that Lauren getting injured has been a real blessing in disguise.

I've never been a big fan of Lauren, too lazy for my liking and have been hoping to see him replaced for a year or two.

But Eboue came of age by going to the African Nations tourney and playing every game alongside Toure.

When they returned they both fitted seamlessly into the back four,
and I reckon Eboue might now be the best attacking right back in the Premiership.

Oh and we also have the best goalkeeper in the Premiership too.

Right, this might come back and bite me in the arse.

I've purchased my flight for the champions league final in paris today.

Before you all start having a pop at me saying we are not there yet and villereal are no pushovers I KNOW.

I havent done it to be cocky although i do think that we now have a great chance. i have done it because today a return flight to paris is £95. but a flight to paris next week is £300 so IF we do get through how much will they be then?? £400+ maybe. so although the flight is non refundable or transferable i feel im getting possibly 3/1+ on my money if you look at it like a bet.

does anybody think this is really silly?? or does it make sense


COME ON YOU GUNNERS

LOL LOL LOL you MUG !!!

What a fantastic post.

Then you started talking about your goalkeeper.

"In form" does not mean best.

There are at least 3 better IMO (possibly more) and all 3 are younger.

[Mr F]

Dan, I think it sounds like a good idea but you have basically given licence to every Gunner fan to blame you if they lose for jinxing them, and lets not forget Kev and Nemesis free licence to gloat/thank you for it as well!!!

Well if he's in form then he's been in form for about a year.

After winning his place back from the hapless IMO Almunia Lehmann has been superb.

He won us the FA cup last season almost single-handedly, and has been virtually faultless all of this season
even though we have played poorly by our standards for long stretches.

How long do you have to be in form to be the best ?

Yes at 32 he's getting on a bit, but as yet he's not showing any signs of decline,
the opposite if anything, and even his temperament seems far more controlled.

I wouldn't swop him for another 'keeper given the chance.

[NoflopsHomer]

Pffttt. Shay Given is much better. You think we got 10 clean sheets because of Boumsong?

I thought he was 35 but I could be wrong? I agree Lehman has been class but look around the Premiership.

Cech - 27 clean sheets last season including nine in a row.

Reina - About to break Liverpool's club record 34 clean sheets this season, also had 11 in a row.

Robinson - Ok I cant tell you any stats for him but he's easily England's no. 1 and a class act in my eyes.

Given - Single handedly stopped Newcastle being a complete shambles at the back. They dont have a back 5, they have a back 1!

That's not even mentioning some guys like Niemi and Jaaskeleinen who have done it consistently at unfashionable clubs without mention. Lehman is very good but he's not the best by any stretch. He's old, has a dodgy temprement and has had his share of howlers in the past. Why else did Wenger buy Alumina?

[BlueWolf]

Lehman is 35.

Dan good deal on your flight to Paris, already planning on making the trip myself too, although i know it will be impossible to get a ticket for the game itself. I agree Villareal will be no pushovers ( they have the mighty Forlan after all lol) but with evryone else floundering this season (even Barca looked outta sorts against Benfica) this is our best chance in europe for many a year.

I agree its good that the Yids are competing this season, and it certainly looks like St Totteringhams day is coming late this year, it would be worth finishing 5th and winning the CL to deny em a place lol.

Eboue and Cesc have been a revelation this year and Lehman seems to have grown up which helps, cant wait for the transfer window to open tho, we may actually sign someone this year and then give Theo a few games oo

Lehman DOB: 10th November 1969
