R. G. I'm cruising in the Subaru in my Hugo boss shell suit and my curly hair and moustache in prime condition heading for Stringfellows with the beetles on full blast on the sound system after another emphatic win over Liverpool to put us joint second. We look in total pain at the moment after bossing Madrid in midweek and making Liverpool look poor beep.
22 Oct 2017 20:01:20
Raver, when you say joint second, you mean third mate.
22 Oct 2017 20:26:51
If you say bossing Madrid was this after you went high? good one for you today though. I do agree it was a commanding performance.
22 Oct 2017 20:28:23
Raver61 - and the trophy you are celebrating for being 3rd is? 8 year old Gordon Strachan with a carrot under under his elongated hooter, in the back of his mummies rusty Subaru in the parking pace in front of their Edmonton 1 bed council flat. The pain at the lane just goes on, 196, yes 1961 for trophyless toot.

As per usual you and Harry have got over your slow start to a new season Raver Wembley or no Wembley, you seen to always come out of the blocks slowly but once you hit your stride you take some knocking out of it mate.
I thought before a ball was kicked you would run this season's champions even closer this season than the last two seasons, long way to go but united although far from out of it seem to be finding the current pace a little to quick for them and I can see you being the side to push City during the closing weeks of this season as you did Leicester and Chelsea in the previous 2 season's.
You are getting better and better wether we like it or not mate.
22 Oct 2017 21:51:53
This is insane. It's a simple fact as much as it kills me that spurs are a really good team. The thing is that this period of prosperity is goona show for nothing (hopefully) city are going to boss the league and spurs will win nothing and sell their best players. That's what I'm hanging on to any how.
22 Oct 2017 22:37:23
Sano, spuds are a breath of fresh air but they will huff and puff like they have done the past two or three seasons and not blow the house down. Along will come the wolf and take all their piggies away. They will not win the league this or any year. But they will make more of a fist of it than us, for now.
22 Oct 2017 22:53:08
Agree Sanogo,
Spurs were terrific last season and won nothing.
We were pants and won FA Cup š.
23 Oct 2017 04:18:03
Raver my old mate
The shell suit, the Beatles, all that must take you back to the last time you won something.
23 Oct 2017 08:45:55
Seen it all before at the toot, a false dawn. Redknapp was the messiah and the Toot reached the CL QF, they were going to win the league and had a great squad of players. The result was Harry being the best manager was going to manage England and it all evaporated. The best players, Modric and Bale ended up at Real and the club was plunged back into mediocrity.
With Real and other clubs sniffing around their better players, how long can they hold out before the reality of having to sell players that are receiving as much as half the wages they could earn and no trophies? Walker has already moved to City where he could win his first trophy and is paid proper wages. Else wants to move on t win things, just like Sol Campbell. Alderweirald is very upset wth the lack of a new deal and is on Ā£55,000 a week.
Put simply the Toot's chances of actually winning a trophy a remote, another Leicester is even less likely to happen. As raver61 well knows, the pain is going to continue, hence celebrating 1-1 draws and a home win like they gave actually won a trophy. It makes the pain of. The Toot's failure even more delicious.

Welsh,
You have just won the Golden Boot for "Reply Of The Season".
Love it.
23 Oct 2017 09:18:59
RG I have never known as Tottenham side to win the league my son has never known a Tottenham side to win the league my grankids have never known a Arsenal or Tottenham side to win the league
Sorry mate but you make us sound like Leeds laughing at Sheffield Wednesday fans keep going on about 1961, it's all ancient history in football terms in North London mate.
23 Oct 2017 12:40:16
I used to talk his way about City, we even had a banner at OT counting the years since they won a trophy and we had a great song to an Inspiral Carpets tune. I know they had huge cash injected but thing change. I watch Spurs and City now and they look scary. It could just be a purple patch but Spurs have improved year after year, if they continue then they are serious contenders this year.
23 Oct 2017 12:41:10
Don't G62 why do you think he's called Timmy two topics.
23 Oct 2017 14:01:24
It will be nice for reality to dawn on the toots, most of which give us a hard time for not winning the league recently, when they also realise they are in a competition that is not on a level playing field. When you have a couple of teams with an unlimited budget, who for example already have a glut of fantastic players, but who could also sign Sanchez (and others) in January (to play or just stop them going to a rival! ) then they too will realise that despite having their best team in over 40 years, it still might not be enough to challenge the virtually unlimited spending power of Man City etc.
23 Oct 2017 14:36:47
R. G. you would love to get a draw at the bernabeu instead of being embarrassed by Bayern Munich. We had Liverpool chasing shadows all afternoon and just remember they absolutely smashed you to bits this season. Sorry R. G. but spurs are taking over a fantastic squad bossing their champions league group, a fantastic manager with a top stadium on its way. Lee Dixon was asked on tv this week have spurs gone past Arsenal and he Said yes so jog on Thursday nights and below spurs is here to stay.
23 Oct 2017 15:01:19
Arsenal football club 2017,
This once prod club seems totally devoid of all personal ambition and is totally reduced to hoping Spurs fail.
We hope that Real will nick Harry in the hope of Spurs join us in the also ran department after he leaves so we can both fight it out for 5th place ha ha that will show the spuds
We hope City or at a push even Utd will do what we ourselves have given up all hope of being capable of doing finishing above Spurs in the foreseeable future.
What ever happened to us that we are so deviod of all personal ambition we are reduced to hoping Tottenham fail somehow?
Time for change? Something needs to that's for sure.
I hope Spurs keep Harry and are even better next season than they are this finishing 2nd on the highest ever runners up points total for a premier league season just 1pt behind champions Arsenal.
23 Oct 2017 17:17:17
Why on earth would you hope that g62?
23 Oct 2017 18:50:56
Spurs to join us in the also ran department š¤ I think you will find G62 that's all they are . They haven't won anything unless I'm mistaken .
23 Oct 2017 19:54:17
I don't want Spurs to come down to our level perfect mate i want exceed their level.
A strong spurs is good for Arsenal because we can no longer sit back with our 4th place and above Spurs security blanket that has kept us all nice and cosy for over a decade.
Spurs are North Londons top team right now and anyone who is not happy about it I'm half on way on your sife, if anyone also sees us getting our finger our and showing some real fight and ambition as the way forward then I'm 100% with you but for those who's ambitions lay firmly with Real Madrid City United riding to our rescue by nicking Spurs best players and getting our nice little cosy security blanket back off Spurs for us then I'm sorry we are on complelty different pages.
A very strong Spurs and even Stronger Arsenal would do me every day of the week.
23 Oct 2017 19:57:17
62 are you off your trolley, Spurs currently have a lot of things we had after the invincibles, a good team etc.
Unfortunately those with more money liked lots of our team and off they went. Do you think that Madrid are not going to come calling for a player or players they like.
If at the end of the season Bayern Munich decide Pochettino is the man to succeed Ancelotti, do you think heāll stay at Spurs.
Spurs are not even earning close to what we do, they do not pay big wages or big transfer fees.
Itās a matter of football life that if, as is highly likely, they win naff all this year, the team will get picked apart.
You donāt constantly have to equate stuff to our failings as thatās what happens when you are 2nd tier. Bale and Modric left as will there other big players.
They are not suddenly going to turn into a Barca, Madrid, United or Bayern mate.
23 Oct 2017 20:12:28
Until they actually win something, they flatter to decieve and fail to go through. Competative but that's all until they can win something and that's being realistic. Even i don't agree with lee dixon, they have to be seen to achieve first and then do it again.
23 Oct 2017 21:52:36
Lads dropping out of the champions league and finishing behind Spurs did nothing to bring out the ambition at Arsenal that I like many hoped it would, the club and most fans were just happy to call it a fluke season and carry on as always.
Well this season things look like they have simply carried on where they left off last season with Spurs continuing to improve and Arsenal more stationary than WH Smith's.
I don't particularly care if Spurs win the league or get relegated in survive seasons all the way to the conference south but I do care that Arsenal once again start showing the ambition to be the be best team in the premier league again and if that takes Spurs getting better and better to shame some ambition out of us then hey ho thars what it takes.
The total lack of ambition at Arsenal is slowly but surely taking away interest in and passion for the club little by little and whatever it takes to stop that short term will pay huge dividends long term.

Gunner as far as we are concerned we are a back water. The wrong people with the wrong ideas are in charge.
24 Oct 2017 02:08:36
Spot on stoner. It's completely wet knickers stuff. I'm Actually surprised they have managed to keep the squad together and add players as well, to that much credit to them but the fact of the matter is simple they have won nothing and I'd wager that they will not win anything but impress all and get picked apart in the summer. Now this is just reality of where there at. Moving forward but I think they will have nothing to show for it .
24 Oct 2017 03:54:36
Please don't wallow G62. It doth not befit you mate.
24 Oct 2017 09:52:36
You are right of course Sanogo mate but when I look at Spurs and the buzz there is around them right it makes me realize how much I miss being involved in title races and the excitement of not the next game not coming soon enough.
With everything being so flat at Arsenal for so long now with no sign of anything changing anytime soon it's even more difficult to accept the groundhog at Arsenal when you when you look at how far Spurs have come in such a short space of time under Poch.
Personally I don't begrudge Spurs fans their time in the lime light as they have been in the shade for a very long time but I do wish we were up there with them regards hunger ambition attitude appite for success.
They may not win the league but they really want to.
24 Oct 2017 14:03:19
Bloody hell I was just out of puberty last time Arsenal challenged and to be fair spurs haven't really challenged.
{Ed025's Note - its been like that all season steve, we are a shambles mate..
