5mins stoppage time... Boro take off Negredo in stoppage time... final whistle blows at 5 mins 2 seconds of stoppage time.

2 seconds allocated for a substitution? How is that fair? I thought it was supposed to be 30 seconds? :?

Normal service has been resumed...Spurs drop points, we can maybe sit on top after the weekend... cue fear, worry & panic... we are not ready for those heady heights. We need to look at our season in perspective & acknowledge the luck we have had & the favourable fixtures, the only really good result being Chelsea. Last week against Swansea the warning signs were back, this week our gutless wonders wore them around their necks....

We will NEVER, EVER win the league again under Wenger. AND, I think this season is going to be like the last one, the title is going to go to the team that has real bottle. And that is not, nor under Wenger, will ever be us.

This....,we've been poor for a lot of the season so far and once our delicate confidence has been bruised the usual will happen, the battle for fourth begins again only this time we approach from a different direction

I just don't understand why refs are allowed to get away with blatantly dishonest time keeping.

adding only 2 seconds for a substitution when the player walks off slowly is dishonest.

Agreed. He couldn't wait to blow the whistle - probably wouldn't have scored anyway but that is one of my pet peeves.


We obviously can't win every game we play but we definitely should be putting bums like them to the sword. Those 2 points could've been crucial come May.

No doubt Wenger will moan about being a leetle bit jaded.
It is a fucking joke.
He could have rested half the team the other night and still won.

It is not about our ability to buy players, it is about how we use them.

We could have £1 billion in the bank, sign Messi and Ronaldo BUT we still wouldn't win the league because he wouldn't know when to rest them.

Days like today are why we are all correct when we say Wenger OUT!
