Isn't Palacios the player that was recommended to Steve Bruce by Arsene Wenger. I think Wenger needs to keep his mouth shut in future.

That little back and forth in the right corner between Chimbonda and Lennon was really quite poor. Settling for an ambitious angled hoof into the box from back towards the halfway line is going to be easy meat for Arsenal - or any Premiership team...

Yep!

Jimmy Bullard would have done a job for this Arsenal team. Pay what Hull paid or a little more, get three years out of them and have a ball winner who can pick a pass and score a few goals.

anladmór · 08-02-2009 4:13pm

FFS keane, he's better than that. if the keane for coventry had gotten that ball he would have spinned the defender and bag.....GOALLLLLLLLLLL.

HOW MANY TACKLES CAN ONE PALACIOS WIN!!!

08-02-2009 4:13pm

Modric has been just awful today. Really really poor.

syngindub · 08-02-2009 4:14pm

great defending by woodgate

anladmór · 08-02-2009 4:14pm

i really don't like modric as a player. his passing doesnt seem natural and it takes him an eternity to actually get into the passing motion.

LuckyLloyd · 08-02-2009 4:14pm

Chimbonda has been really poor since he came on imo. I bet Spurs fans weren't too pleased to see him return!

Paritally disagree with you there. I thought he was very good in the first, but has been poor in the second. Looks tired at the moment.

lennon for all his skill and pace, he's a very frustrating player to watch

he cant do it in the oppositions box

Thanx 4 The Fish · 08-02-2009 4:16pm

Keane really does need to stop trying so hard. He is obviously trying to prove a point now but his head is not right I don't think.

Yeah his end product is usually crap.

Jayzus that some gash.
He won't be playing for a week or two, that's definitely gonna need stitches...

That head injury looks pretty nasty.

PHB · 08-02-2009 4:17pm

That just pisses me off so much. Arsenal played on and if it was a goal, it would have stood. But Spurs have to stop?

Ref really messed up there, big time.

ditpoker · 08-02-2009 4:18pm

i'll give 2/1 on adel taarabt working 103 step overs into the last five mins...

Dunno about that, few stitches and then put some vaseline on over the top and he should be fine. We often see players playing on after having stitches etc.. Head always bleed a lot more anyway.

Essou ekotto wasteful there after working a decent position. Really frustrates me sometimes that these guys get paid to do that.

Roddy23 · 08-02-2009 4:21pm

When are we playing Cardiff? Thought that was next Saturday?

Thanx 4 The Fish · 08-02-2009 4:22pm

Good reactions from Cuiccini to deny Vella...

SuprSi · 08-02-2009 4:22pm

Great save by Cuddicini

Something that annoys me. The amount of corners in the EPL that dont get past the first man is disgraceful

LuckyLloyd · 08-02-2009 4:22pm

What a save!!

And then from Almunia at the other end!! Modric should have finished it though I think.

Kiith · 08-02-2009 4:22pm

Great save by Cudicini there. I'm not liking this right now.

Harry says he's the most talented footballer at the club.

Thanx 4 The Fish · 08-02-2009 4:23pm

And another save at the other end by Almunia when spurs should really have scored.

Mitch Connor · 08-02-2009 4:23pm

Terrible, terrible miss.

Royale with Cheese · 08-02-2009 4:23pm

Ridiculous play from Arsenal. Very obvious they would get caught on the break if their corner was claimed easily.

Kiith · 08-02-2009 4:23pm

We really need to start finishing some of our chances.

PHB · 08-02-2009 4:23pm

Spurs are just hilarious as a football team. How does Modric not lift that. How does the ball not go to Keane in the first place.

SuprSi · 08-02-2009 4:24pm

What a waste by Modric, should've scored.

Headshot · 08-02-2009 4:24pm

great to see Cudicini back in a first team,great keeper,far better than Gomez imo

Quazzie · 08-02-2009 4:25pm

7 points behind Villa. We are finishing 5th.

Frisbee · 08-02-2009 4:25pm

SuprSi · 08-02-2009 4:25pm

Poor point for Spurs, great point for Arsenal, all things considering.

Indie18 · 08-02-2009 4:26pm

Awful Game. Sending off ruined it.

tony1kenobi · 08-02-2009 4:26pm

Good enough result for the Arse given the game that was in it.

PHB · 08-02-2009 4:26pm

Great performance from Arsenal, good work rate and coulda scored on the break.

Spurs however were poor. Particuarly their full backs and their central midfielders. They had all the space in the world and couldn't step up to the plate. Harry will not be happy.

Still, 2 points dropped for Arsenal, I'm happy.

Roddy23 · 08-02-2009 4:26pm

It's not over yet Quazzie. Still think we'll finish fourth, but it's gonna take a lot of effort.
