loved the music and the fans jumping up and down at the end
how long has it been since they've taken all 3 points from Manchester United?
Original post by jilebinator
Lets not get ahead of ourselves, were not even guaranteed fourth.
yeah its a strange situation to be in, I'm happy that we're 5 points ahead of spurs in the race for 3rd, but it still worries me greatly that we're only 5 points into a CL spot with still 5 games to go

Yep, it has been a great few weeks of football for me as well
PSV (my childhood club
) won the KNVB cup and today Borrusia Dortmund beat Bayern to go 6 clear with 4 games left.

That's a big step towards third, I'll admit. I know people are being humourous when they talk about anything beyond that, but those jokes still make me uncomfortable. 
Good scoreline today, though; delighted that both van Perise and Walcott got a goal. Sets it up very well for a trip to the Emirates on Monday. 
(On a less positive note, just realized today that I won't be getting to see Koscielny play

)Dijirou had a solid game today which is not surprising given the confidence of the whole team and him back to his natural position
so you have nothing to worry about
He'll do a good job against Wigan(hopefully).Original post by In2deep
What?! He played very well in the first half, played some great passes. He was a bit off but you can't blame him with the form he's in. He also played a couple of horrible long passes but overall he had a good game, and compared to his usual self, a great game.
You guys need to stop being harsh on the guy.

At times he looked incredibly insecure, but he had good possession and his performance was far from being a debacle. He evidently lacks confidence, but I don't have the patience for fans who completely write him off; we need to give him time and be patient, and most of all, support him, because God knows what all the criticism is doing to him mentally.

First half was pretty drab after it went 2-0 they looked like they couldnt be arsed but kicked on a bit 2nd half, job done

Tottenham have easy games left, Newcastle and Chelsea have difficult games left.
Hopefully Sp*rs slips up, it will make life a lot easier for us.

I wouldn't say Spurs have it easy. We've seen tonight how the clubs around the bottom are fighting for their lives. We were lucky that we had Wolves, because they were already down. We need to be alert on Monday against Wigan. Although it's at home, they've played well in recent games against United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Spurs still have QPR (away), Blackburn (home) and Bolton (away) as well as Aston Villa (away - not 100% safe, albeit they're not playing well anyway). So I wouldn't say Spurs have it easy, especially on their run.
As for Arsenal, we should get third, but as an Arsenal fan, there's always doubt at the back of your mind. If we win our next two games (both at home), third place is ours

After seeing these results I don't think you can say which fixtures are 'easy games' anymore
What is it with Arsenal fans on twitter?, they're acting like we've just secured third. We have a long way to go...
So many Mind the Gap stuff. we should wait.
anyway, wigan next, at home, should be relatively easy, especially after they just beat UTD. i don't think any bottom team will get away with beating the top four twice in a row at this stage.

No gamers are easy, especially at this time of the season when teams are fighting for survival...
on a different note, anyone watching Real vs Atletico? I want Atletico to win, would love to see fight for the championship go right down to the wire. Dislike both Barca and Real

They mad the semis in the 2009-10 season aswell. Not bad for a team fighting relegation in the third division

He'll definitely be back for Chelsea though!
another 3-5 smashing on the horizon

Better still, Chelsea might be missing Ivanovic (who's been playing very very well for them recently)

I meant live.
But yeah about Chelsea, looking forward to that game - how many times have Arsenal fans been able to say that in the past couple of seasons?

yeah, Real are my guilty pleasure. so i'm backing them for the league.
But back on topic, Benayoun played well imo, deserved the goal. I hope we get him permanently at the end of the season.

But they looked very tired against Fulham, better still, they'll have Barca midweek! So they'll have our lot to deal with ~66 hours after chasing barca around the pitch! Let's hope they win though, otherwise it'll make them even more determined to get 4th spot
