Tottenham HotSpurs v Arsenal - Sunday 28th April at 1400 PM

Pepe LeFrits

Panda Thought Rice was a bit unlucky with the pen. I know they do give them pens, but the ball was gone and how many times have we seen our players not be given those!

I was thinking of the one on Jesus a little while back which wasn't given.

Segway

Pepe LeFrits Luiz on Jesus against Villa away. A stonewall pen not given.

Game turned on it's head a bit after Raya's mistake. It was an awful mistake, but they happen to every keeper. Some of the comments on here during the heat of the moment are ridiculous. What was important was how he played after that, and he was excellent, especially claiming crosses, which is crucial when you're under the pump.

Would have been nice to win 3-0 but we would have taken any win beforehand.

It won't really matter sadly because City will keep winning. Jammy pricks.

It was a nuts game because Ange's tactics are nuts.

1st half Spuds adopted a suicidal 3-6-1 which enabled them to press us consistently but saw us throw a ball over the top to Saka for 2-0. They were really strong this half yet we led 3-0 because they can't do set pieces.

2nd half we controlled the match but somehow they got 2 goals from random errors. Raya was imperious before and after his error easily plucking crosses out of the air, and Rice was solid other than giving away the peno. Vicario's save on Saka was incredible in a match where he showed he was still very dodgy managing his box.

Anyone find it slightly weird how friendly Arteta and Ange is pre and post match? Didn't know they were this close.

Never seen a NLD with a friendlier manager

This may date back a couple of years. I remember reading they were both part of some pandemic-era chat group for elite sports managers who were also major nerds about their trade. It was a cross-sport group, they had Eddie Jones and a couple of United States people in there I think.

Yeah this was it:

Clrnc Arteta seems incredibly warm and friendly with 90% of managers.

Claudius

Spurs play Chelsea Thursday night. Imagine cheering Spurs on

Clrnc

Claudius we have to isn't it? To make sure they still have UCL hopes

FEBravo

I want them to win but can't actually cheer them on. So will not watch and try to avoid the live scores

Clrnc

Qwiss I do remember he has a few enemies. Mourinho Conte ETH Nuno Dyche Howe and also Pep during a few encounters were very hostile.

He has some close friends like Iraola, Poch and probably Ange etc looking at what Burns shared. Obviously him and Klopp greatly respect each other too.

Don't think I have ever seen a Spurs and Arsenal manager this friendly and singing praises of each other during pressers lol. Arteta said he has admired Ange since his Australia days 😆

Gurgen

That's good since we're enemies of 90% of the referees. You can't only have enemies.

Qwiss

I don't mind it at all. I'd love to see him turn on Pep and Man City though.

Spurs fans... 🤣

Meatwad

bitchassness.

Burnwinter

This was fun … and lines up with what I was thinking. We let them have the ball all over the field because we knew if we controlled the danger areas, we'd be relatively safe—didn't quite work out that way, but hey.

Fun analysis of the physical differences between the two XIs as well.

Asterix

James Maddison has really dropped off recently. Good. Except he's in my Fantasy auction team - I took one for the team there.

Qwiss

Asterix I was going to say this last week but was afraid I'd jinx it before he played us. Memories of him doing that dart bullshit against us in the home fixture flashed through my head.

Claudius

Qwiss Maddison might get you to fourth, but nothing more. Spurs will need to upgrade 80% of their squad to compete

Clrnc

Claudius if he's here and Arteta made him great you probably won't be saying that tbh

Qwiss

Claudius he's alright but he's no leader. You play him with 2 good midfielders and he'll be fine. Same way Son is fine as part of a decent attack but he can't carry an attack. These guys aren't main men, they aren't in the same league as Odegaard, Saka, KDB, Salah, etc
