We already know deep down that (1) we aren't going to win the league this year and (2) we have a defence that basically means the game is never actually put to bed, so we are all nervous from start to the final second, even if we are 2 goals up, and sooner or later we were going to get bit in the bum. Anyone watching the Fenerbace match in its entirety could see that one having ended at 5-5. It was going to happen sooner or later...and it will happen again. We are good enough to win a cup, we are good enough to influence the outcome of who will win the league, we play some amazing football, but we aren't actually going to win it. All that said, Spurs know they were lucky, very lucky, and we are by far and away the superior team (old adage, the table doesn't lie).

We know sunnyp and his two bum chums seem to write bolloxs so this is no surprise

Considering this wasn't said from Arsene but from the oh so reliable inside sources, not too sure why Arsene would be blowing hot air if he doesn't make changes tomorrow?
If I was Arsene, drop Almunia and tell Fabs to come for high balls. Keep the back four fairly intact with a change for the injured Gallas, not Song though, put Diaby alongside Cesc and tell them to throw themselves in front of shots. Pity about the Gallas injury, thought he and Silvestere did quite well as a partnership so far.
Why is one goal one assist Ade getting blamed for the collapse? Maybe if the passes to him were accurate, we might be 5-3 up but they were not. Maybe if the midfield closed down the shooters, maybe if Almunia could save long shots. So why Ade? He scored in last three games has he not?

His hold up play was shocking. He was destroyed in the air all night. His goals v shammers and the scum were goals my mother could have scored and owe a lot more to the work of his team-mates than to himself.
Have to agree 100% with you re keeper scenario though magic - I feel that fabinski will command his area a lot better than the spanish clown and along with that I would put djouru and silvestre as the 2 centre backs with kolo and cesc as our spine in midfield. Fcuk putting bedtner or the greedycunt up front on their own - play rvp or vela alongside bedtner and go at stoke cos if we are afraid to take on stoke without a 5 man midfield then we are really fcuked
