Get in Saints! Always nice when Spurs drop points.
Nah plenty of points to play for yet.
So top 4 are now more obvious ?
I agree
Depends how Liverpool do tomorrow. Still a lot of games left to be played.
It wouldn't be curtains for your hopes but I'd say it would almost guarantee CL football for us next year.
Why the hell did Poch take off Dembele and bring in Wanyama when Spurs needed a goal? Bizarre substitution imo.
The refs need to be publically scored on their performances. With specific failings pointed out. They might actually be pressed to make better calls. At least they should be interviewed and have to answer publically just like players and managers. There will always be differences due to angles, speed things happen, perception of an incident and even some plain mistakes (refs are human), but questions of consistency will be hard for them to avoid.
I don't believe I've ever given a valuation for Alli. I have, however, said he's better than Pogba was at the same age, and I stand by that.
But don't let that stop you putting your words in my mouth ...
Aubameyang can't play in the Europa League if he moves to arsenal apparently.
Great result that for us. Arsenal and Tottenham dropping points meaning top 4 is looking good atm. We are 8 points ahead of Tottenham now and next league fixture is away to them. A draw wouldn't be a bad result tbh but with Wembley's open pitch and Sanchez hopefully signed, we should be going for the win.
I think Spurs need to sign Malcom this window but Spurs' valuation of Malcom is far away from what Bordeaux want for him, and Bordeaux are reluctant to let him leave this window so that'll be interesting. They need another creative option anyway.
Feck, that's a bit of a blow for them. I thought he could play since he hasn't kicked a ball in the EL yet.
Still, Laca, Ozil and Mkhi is quite enough to deal with most teams bar Atletico.
I think they can only register one of Mkhi/Auba for the Europa though maybe because Dortmund are in the Europa they can't register Auba anyway.
Top 4 looks beyond Arsenal's reach now. They can still win the Europa League, i guess they will go for it now.
They got some strong teams in their way though
Atletico Madrid
Lyon
Dortmund
Napoli
AC Milan

Beat Spurs next week and you would think that we are more or less nailed on for a top 4 finish this season. Even with a defeat we would still be well placed.
According to Clattenburg he had a good game.
Agreed. I'm not sure Malcom will actually get the move this window, don't think Spurs will throw silly money at him and the longer it goes on for the less time Bordeaux have of getting in replacements.
By his standards (the infamous Tottenham Game he managed), Friend really had a top game.
I would prefer Rostow Celta Vigo, Anderlecht, Ajax and Saint Etienne.
At the same age Alli is now Pogba was running midfield in a team which gained 102 points, making the most appearances of any Juventus player across the season.
Alli’s most memorable moments this season are when he’s somehow not got sent off for another act of thuggery.
£100 million
Better than Pogba
Sure if a big club comes calling, Ali will be gone like a rat up a drain pipe
Some incredible insight from Shearer on Kane. "In order to score goals, you have to hit the target"... Who would have thought ?

Perfect description of AlliArsenal won their last game, did they not?
8 points ahead of Tottenham with 14 left. Quite a tidy lead.
And scoring far less goals than Alli has. The "world class" tag that United fans attach to him is a joke.
As Glaston taught me last year, its really 9 points if you include goal difference.
So Spurs are 9 points behind us.

Agreed. Have no idea how any of the top 6 can be written off in January.
One guy's main job is scoring/setting up goals
The other is provide playmaking from midfield and give his team the platform to build their play
Wenger would still find a way to screw that
Stop talking in footbaling terms, it's too difficult concept to grasp for him.
Once Kane leaves them in the summer they will be fighting with Everton for the best of the rest trophy in the near future, looks bleak for Spurs imo.
James Ward-Prowse has a wand of a right foot. Very nice player.
That Lloris is fecking shite as well isn't he?
...but how can the brilliant Pochettino-led free-scoring Spurs be 8 points (+ GD) behind the poor and boring Man Utd?!
