Get ready for the raver to charge in on his suburu to brag about the referee handing the mighty spurs a draw!
Good results all round for us today, need a good performance against burnley tomorrow now.

It's honestly a shocking decision not to give city a penalty though, how on earth the ref couldn't see that as a foul I don't know. I can only assume that he is literally blind or received a nice pay day at half time. The quality of refereeing in this league is shameful.
Does nothing to help with the diving epidemic either. Sterling manages to stay on his feet and gets penalised for it, of course everyone is going to throw themselves to the ground!

Agree I just sorted marriner out with a bit of space dust for us getting a draw, we got the runaround against city but still managed to get a point while 2 down shows we are a top team. I'm cruising down the motorway from Manchester with a big Jamaican cigar and a can of Ralph fosters heading for a big party in leafy Brixton later on tonight

It was the best result for us a draw! Let's be honest city were by far the better team and spuds are above us. Potential of 4 points gained rather than three. We could and should move second tomorrow!

Results have gone our way today

If we can win tomorrow and Chelsea drop some points the league could be wide open

I would take a 1 nil win

If Iwobi could be upgraded but it would harm his development and he has had a up and down season - how do we win the league? I like Iwobi and love that we make stars but it has cost us.

See Henry quote:

I don't think Arsenal need a player like Payet at the moment. They have Iwobi who could be like Payet in few years time, he has been good for Arsenal playing through the middle, " Henry said on Sky Sports.

"Iwobi needs games to fulfill his potentials and signing a player like Payet could limit his playing time, and it could spell doom for his development. "

This cost us over the last 10 years and will continue to cost us. May be we have the better mix of experience now and can afford a kid or two but it will cost us with Granit settling, Iwobi and Bellein still learning while Mustafi develops

One solution is signing a player in the twighlight years of their career. Not a great example because they're very different to Iwobi, but Robben and Ribery. They're what? 32-34? Somewhere in that range anyway. Got a couple of years left in them, phase them out over time as they get older, could teach Iwobi a thing or two. Obviously there are very few wingers as talented as they are, especially in that age range, but you get the idea
