Well deserved bump. Tottenham continue to be the dirtiest, nastiest team in the league. Full of cheats, divers and they regularly make horror tackles yet they always get away with it.

I'm hoping they don't have money and can't attract big players in the future. But guess we'll see. A CL win could definitely get them some big names they might not otherwise get.

Gooners won't like hearing this, and I say this as someone who absolutely despises what goes on at the swamp in N17. BUT, they have overtaken us now and we have to do something about it.

To compare the spuds with Stoke is comical.

Just playing in the CL every season, is worth tens of millions to them.

Arsenal fans who hate other clubs more than Tottenham? Really!!

Credit to Spurs where it is due,

Football is not just about managers, it's about the way in which a team is run.

Now that Tottenham are in a new stadium, we need to see if they are allowed to spend big or if they build and develop.

This sort of comment makes me makes me laugh...

Sometimes people just make things up to be critical, we need to accept there is a reason for them catching up and overtaking us, it's nothing to do with them being along the road and rivals etc,

They haven't brought a player for 18 months and they've finished 4th and made it to the CL final, well done to them, fantastic effort.

Good luck to them in the final, i'll admit that although i like Klopp, in his first season at Liverpool i remember him moaning about an opponent playing defensive football - for me if a club doesn't have such talent or finances they i welcome them playing however they want to try and get a point out of it, where as i don't think i've ever seen Mauricio Pochetiniho criticising a team for doing what it takes to get a result and for that reason i hope they win the CL.

Honestly, I just don't get it.

How any Arsenal fan can willingly want Spurs to win the Champions League, especially before we have done, is absolutely bonkers and then some.

The ramifications of the unthinkable happening would be devastating. Not just financially, but in terms of pride, in terms of reputation, in terms of perception of each respective club on a global basis.

I don't care if you were born here or if you were born halfway across the world - any sane Arsenal fan should not be rooting for them lot. Never.

And the reason was because the other teams coach was having a moan. Like wtf kind of reason is that to want your most hated rival to win the biggest trophy in football. I'm mind boggling!! :dizzy:

Maybe "people" do, but I certainly don't. Everything I said has a basis in fact. And not only have they been extremely dirty since Poch took over, they've been unbelievably lucky this season.

Perceptions can change very quickly and Spurs could EASILY have finished outside the top 4 - in fact it's a miracle that they didn't.

They also got to the CL final by going through on away goals twice, in ties where they were definitely second best

Any Arsenal fan who wants the spuds to win the champions clearly doesn't mix with many N17 swamp dwellers or lives a middle class life where banter doesn't exist and people use the word soccer.

So predictable. :lol:

Just like Eriksen, Alderweireld and Vertonghen are also entering the last year of their contract.
