I think he was a very good addition during the summer ( even though we should have bought more).
Flamini is the best free transfer this club is likely to see TBH. Off topic slightly, was anyone else totally gutted when the fucking Spuds got a last gasp winner? They worry me a bit:(
they ruined the weekend a bit,amazingly they've only scored 5 goals (I think),they are like a bad smell that keeps lingering,sooner they play some quality teams the better

It's certainly taken the sheen off the weekend, but never mind.
They play Chavs at home next... shouldn't be an interesting game.
Average performance but I'm delighted with the result.
I still believe Jack will be a great player but he's not playing well at the moment, poor judgment, too many wayward passes and drawing fouls and getting hurt in areas of the pitch where he offers no threat.
Gnabry did OK and looks promising (and we are short of midfielders).
Rambo faded but his movement puts some of our static bastards to shame.
Overall same as last season, when we play with pace we look dangerous, but when the pace drops we look clueless and toothless.

This is what does my head in.Stop thinking about the Spuds.We wont win fuck all if our only ambition is to finish above them.Surely after signing a £42m player our expectation are more than finishing 4th.They beat a poor promoted team get over it

I agree we shouldn't be 'worried' about the Scum because they're never going to amount to more than a top 4 challenge but regardless of the respective positions of the clubs I'll always have a look out for their result.

Eh? why should I?
They're our bitter rivals mate - I can't ignore them. If you can, good for you but it goes against the grain for the vast majority of football fans to not care when their bitter rivals are playing elsewhere. These rivalries are part of the fabric of the game up and down the country, and across the globe. Rivalries are what gives the game its edge, and regardless of where Sp*rs are in the league (or what division they're in) I'll always think about them when they play, and hope they get a good spanking.
I'm baffled by your post to be honest. There's nothing wrong with local rivalries.

I can sort of see where donaldo is coming from on this one though. There is a difference between always wanting spurs to get shat on from a great height and worrying about a potential 4th place scrap with them when we should be aiming to win the league.

This is exactly how I see it, but I wouldn't be able to express it as eloquently as NB has.

LDB... The reason we were unhappy is because some of us have scum supporting acquaintances who rub it in when we lose, so we are always looking for the opportunity to give them some back. It has nothing to do with scrapping for 4th place.

The original post on the subject in this thread talked about being worried about spurs which to me hints at them being in direct competition with us.
Maybe this is just me but the thought of a bit of "rubbing it in" from spurs fans hardly ruins my day/weekend. I have a few scum friends and come from a family of Chelsea fans and can honestly say I don't give any of them a second thought when we lose

He was replying to my post where I said it took the sheen off the weekend... and a 90th minute Sp*rs winner will always do that.
I've no idea why that should do donaldo's head in at all. They're our local rivals and the club we've been fighting tooth and nail against for the last 2 seasons (finishing 1 point above them on both occasions after an almighty battle) - so whether it's the fact they've been our closest on field rival, off field rival or both... why on earth wouldn't it bug me when Sp*rs score a stoppage time winnner?
What planet are we even on when I have to even explain this? - I'm amazed this isn't a universal feeling amongst ALL gooners! it's Tottnumb ffs!
By the way, take a look at the league table this season, last season or even the season before that and give me one good reason why we should consider ourselves to be too good to be looking at Sp*rs' results... there's 2pts separating the clubs over the last 81 league games!! 2 points!
Credit where it's due - top of the table, maybe the Villa result woke everyone up.
Don't know what was going on in the period from around 75mins to around 87 mins! Barely touched the ball - if we can't press and get turnovers against such a 'strong' ball playing team as Stoke with a 2 goal lead then what are we going to do against a team that can score goals. My conspiracy thought at the time was Wenger said let them have the ball so we can practice our zone defence.
Ramsey hey! Keeps on scoring - very happy for him. Ozil's dead ball technique is excellent. Jack's off the pace imo. Flamini - type of player we've been missing. Lookng forward to when Podolski comes back. Myachi needs a bit of meat on the bones.
Can i assume Sanogo is a nogo already? Last 5mins would have been a great chance to give him another run.
PS I don't care if we are 10 points clear with 3 to play and Spurs are last and guaranteed relegation - love seeing them lose and hate seeing them win.
PPS Loved seeing RVP in the stands and Man U get owned - no soup for you this year Pursy, you're at the wrong club.
