Tottenham 2 Arsenal 1
There is no excuse but only those Arsenal players let themselves down..
Tottenham players played 3 days ago after 125 mins FA cup match which eventually lost the game but it's Arsenal players who looked jaded , tired and not sharp enough to compete with Spurs players even they have one whole week off !!
The passing was not good enough , no penentrating movement in final third and always blocked by Spurs players as Arsenal passing were so easily predictable , and no one can breakthrough Spurs defensive line. Vermaelen injury was very bad but the 2nd goal was conceded w/i 2 mins after 2nd half restarted , then it's a main problem . Spurs is not Barcelona but Arsenal players cannot concentrate after match restarted and conceded the goal in 120 seconds in two consecutive games , which was unacceptable, stupid and amateur.
How can these players earn 60k sterlings per week if they performed like that ?
After introducing Van Persie , then the game changed but Gomez , the Spurs keeper made 3 crucial saves (two from RVP n one from Sol Campbell) and Bendtner tapped in was not good enough to rescue the game !

I know what's going wrong , Wenger know what's going wrong and when you forecast the next season , there are Chelsea , Man United , Man city , Tottenham , Liverpool and Everton all can fight for the top 4 spots .. So if there is no further strengthening of the squad in this coming summer.. I worry abt the worst is yet to come as Wenger's experiment of this new generation during 2005-2010 is confirmed a failure!!!
A proper Goalkeeper , a mature centreback who can partner Vermaelen next season , and a holding midfielder besides Song are seriously needed . Forget Almunia (we cannot win anything without a proper Keeper) Forget Gallas , who cannot sustain the whole season without injury even he is willing to stay , let alone we can hardly rely on Silvestre or Sol Campbell for the whole season. Forget Diaby and Denilson , they are not strong enough to tackle , not awesome enough to make opponents fear , Forget Clichy and Eboue , who are quick but the final pass and football brain are confirmed not good enough !!
Chelsea will be the Epl champion 2010 and now wishing Portsmouth can become a FA cup major upset for the champion s elect !!!
