come on the spurs!!!
Get in! Taking points off Chelsea, didn't think that was gonna happen, I wonder what happens if we play better and push on for a european place, which is only a couple of points away, and does 'Arry start playing the young un's or does he go hell for leather to get a place in europe, even though he devalued our participation in the uefa this season by sending out a reserve team to moscow...

Arshavin looks like he's revitalised arsenal, making them much more incisive, less of the fannying around knocking balls around and being pretty, seems like all he wants to do is run at defenders or thread through the killer ball. Don't see Villa catching them for that champions league spot now...

and Villa looked woeful on the highlights on sunday, no threat, no energy, liverpool just walked all over them... I'm hoping O'Neill will go hell for leather for all competitions next season, no matter the size of the squad, and I've got a feeling, that failure to break into the champions league this season will be used as a reason to batten down the hatches and go on a revenge mission next season.

Oh and MikeC, not going to ask you to eat your words, but besmirching a managers reputation off the back of a paraphrased quote, and then allowing that fulham played well, whilst still keeping the right to say managers shouldn't downplay their teams chances, is a bit two faced don't you think. Man U had an off day, as Hodgson said they would have to for Fulham to have a chance, Fulham, played upto the occassion and took advantage, thereby doing what liverpool needed, and you wanted, giving them an opportunity to put some pressure on united.
No backhanded compliments mike, a full and unreserved apology is the least you owe mr hodgson on this here thread, and all the other managers who you believe prostrate themselves in front of ManU...
;-P

Spurs were awsome (granted Chelsea didn't turn up for half the game) and Modric was fantasic. Really starting to look like the player he was biller to be. I really hope that his dosent get snapped up by a 'big 4' side in the summer. We need to start holding on to players.

Mike, It is a well known fact that all premiership managers read this thread to get tips and see what the public opinion is. ;)
