Unbelievable night, that game couldn't have gone any better. Spurs showing themselves up to be the thugs they are, at least 3 of their players deserve bans for stamps, punches and eye gouging. Well and truly bottled it.

Leicesters title is a once in a lifetime achievement. Never thought they'd pull it off after their quick start at the start of the season. So jealous of their fans tonight though

That's just the Arsenal fan in you saying that, and I understand your loyalty to you're team (nothing wrong with it), but for me Spurs don't need to be slated in that way, they've had a great season themselves, and for me have been the most attractive and best footballing team in the league this season.

It's annoying playing second fiddle to your inferior club local rivals isn't it? I know all to well being an Everton fan and seeing them come behind the lesser team in Liverpool.

It's laughable that you think it's just the Arsenal fan in me saying that. I'm sure fans from all across the country agree with what i've said about their conduct tonight.. in fact i know they have because i've been reading twitter all night. I don't know how anyone can condemn Lamela stamping on Cesc, Dembele poking his fingers in Costa's eye and the general punches and kicks thrown all game. Not to mention Alli getting a ban just recently for punching. They've been at it all season, I remember Alli getting away with kicking a Fiorentina player pretty badly in the chest whilst he was down.



Not having the right to criticize a team and their behaviour because of the way they've played this year is everything thats wrong with football and journalism in this country. So many journalists are especially shrugging off what Alli has been doing just because he's Englands new golden boy.

I wouldn't say we're playing second fiddle. We're 3 points behind them, big chance we can still finish above them with the bans they've got coming their way. Both having a trophy-less season, Spurs haven't won the league in 55 years, 8 years since they last won a trophy, we've won 4 trophies in the last 3 seasons. Like i said to Alex Font.. everyones getting way too ahead of themselves. Yes they've played some good stuff, but this is in a league where every team has underachieved this season, and they've still come out with nothing to show for it.

You say it yourself, it's all over twitter. So you're coming at it from a media point of view, instead of a rational human point of view.

Sometimes sport gets heated, so what?

They certainly don't deserve the Headline of "Thugs" just because a London derby with everything on the line, got a little bit heated.

I'm not using it as a media point of view, i had my own opinions on it before i started reading twitter.

I'm fine with all the heavy tackles and challenges, that's part of the sport and that's how the game was played years ago so that side of the game is refreshing to see. But gouging someones eyes and intentionally stamping on them is not an excuse because the game got a little bit heated or that its a London derby.. fact is they bottled their chances of winning the league and they showed themselves up by becoming violent and thuggish. Whatever word you want to use to describe them.. bottom line is it was violence. They were intentionally trying to harm another human. I use the word thugs because it's not the first time they've done this, previous bans prove it. If it was a one off then fair enough, but it's not.

Maybe Drew, If your team had have shown that aggression and fight and the want to bully teams, then maybe you wouldn't be shouting for your manager to be sacked.

Cantona inspired a dynasty at Old Trafford, and he used to beat up the fans.

Thats such a weak excuse and outlook on why we've failed this season. Leicester didn't get where they are now behaving like Spurs did tonight did they? Our failures on the field are down to a lack of talent in certain positions and a complete lack of man management skills to give the players the belief and confidence they need. If Arsene was going out there every game telling his players to start kicking out and punching players we'd be a lot worse off than we are with the bans we'd be given.
