Sp*rs are 3rd after 12 games FFS! Big deal! Newcastle are 4th but everyone accepts in time they will slip away - so will Sp*rs... Villa were woeful last night, showing no ambition, desire, effort or interest in gaining even a point from the game. A huge disappointment for a side with some supposedly decent players.
As for Sp*rs, here are some thoughts:
Adebayor does not belong to them and will never become a permanent signing.
Only a matter of time before both Bale and Modric leave for a big club.
King is a crock and 31 years old.
Parker is injury prone and also 31 years old.
'Arry has both the taxman and the grim reaper breathing down his neck. By incredibly stating "The title is a possibility" last night I can only conclude he is planning on pleading insanity at his tax evasion trial.

The worst Arsenal team in 15 years and the best Spuds team in the same period.And remember they finished one place behind up in the last two seasons.So its not really a surprise they are pushing us for a top 4 place.The signing of Parker has made them better and anyone who thinks he wouldnt have been an improvement on the brainless Song is as blind as our manager

Buy who though? Can't see him going for Cahill now Koscienly looks the part and Wilshere and Diaby will be like 'new signings' soon while Sagna and Gibbs should also be back sooner rather than later, he's already saying that this squad is big, I'm starting to get a bad feeling that the transfer business is done.Supagoon wrote:spurs looked like a good unit, but it's spurs...
Hopefully we buy in january and pull away from them.
Nice to see mcleish go for the throat once again.
Those poor poor villians.
I reckon only an injury to van Persie will force his hand.

people keep telling me Sperz have a deep squad and the Arsenal are a one man team
If Modric gets injured they can't play anything like the same football they do now - who is the replacement? Krankjar, Huddlelump? do me a favour
If Parker gets injured (he's an injury prone player) they again would have to fundamentally change their style - Sandro does not drive forward with the ball and is a much more sedantary defensive midfielder
If Adebayor gets injured/has a strop/ is recalled by ManShitty their 'replacement', Defoe can't hold up the ball or play up front on his own (Defoe would be much more useful if VDV got injured)
Ledley King has been excellent and amazingly uninjured all season, on the injury front he makes RVP look like Chuck Norris, I doubt he is even training. They do at least have Gallas to fill in there.
Bale was apparently excellent last night. He's a real weapon and Krankjar/Townsend would be a downgrade but they wouldnt have to change their fundamentals so much.
I think Sperz are a very good side but they don't have 1 unreplaceable player for the way they play, they have 3 or 4.

that if ANY one of those gets injured they are fecked
very different
Don't worry too much about them.
Villa were so poor last night, it was a div 2 performance.
Both goals lucky - 1st - Scuffed shot from Monkey Boy luckily went to an unmarked Pea Head who had all the time in the world. 2nd - The normal head down hit and hope cross, Villa performed a CC Final replay and Pea Head took an age to toe it in on the line.
Pea Head missed a hatfull and always will , offsides will start creeping more and more into it.
Monkey Boy has just speed, his head down hit and hope crosses rarely reach a team mate.
Jack Russell same, speed, but once he has chance to cross he panics.
Parker, King, Friedal, Van Fart won't last a season.
Sandro and Mousey Modric will be unsettled once January comes .
Droopy Chops will be keeping Mr Big warm at Maj's pleasure.
And that smarmy bald c*nt will be ordered to stand down from his position at Spurs for being involved in the spying fiasco.

A lot of good points on this thread - I agree with g88ner when he said how average they looked against us in the shithole when we were in a shocking run of form but they cannot hide the fact that they have a better squad and team that we have right now and that is a hard thing to admit 
Right now they are rolling over teams whilst we are scraping by some very average teams (sunderland, norwich etc) and even though I agree that their run of fixtures to date has been kinder than our's and that they have failed their two biggest tests to date, I will also say that momentum is a huge thing in sport and at this moment of time I believe that they have more momentum than we have.
There have been a few fair comments about how they would react if they lost key players but the fact is that they depend on no one player as much as we depend on van persie and when that person we depend on has a shocking injury record then you would have to be worried. It is said that the hardest thing in football is scoring goals and we all know that we have nobody, and I mean nobody, in this current squad capable of stepping up and scoring the goals if rvp was missing. Some fans dismiss their chances based on nothing more than our recent dominance over them but nothing lasts forever and again if you analyse things clearly you will see that they have far far more experience in their squad than we have in ours so them falling away is a possibility more than a probability - I can assure you that if their squad had gotten into the positions that our squad found itself in march time in the last 3 seasons then they wouldnt have continue to shit themselves and fall away to the point that they would come 4th in what was a 2 horse race
