Nagelsmann to Spurs would be great for them...be interesting to see if he can get anymore out of them.

Would be very happy if we could get Nagelsmann, but I have my doubts as to whether the club can get it done.

Poch to Chelsea, it's hard to articulate how I really feel about it. If Spurs don't want him back, that's fine, and a manager of his quality shouldn't be languishing without work, so I'm happy that he's getting another job. But Chelsea, really? He was there at the Battle of the Bridge, wasn't he? And Chelsea's currently even more of a basket case than Spurs, so he's got his work cut out again.

As the saying goes: "I hate Arsenal because I'm a Tottenham fan. I hate Chelsea because I'm a human being".

City putting Arsenal in a spliff.

If Ramsdale hadn't made some great saves they'd be 5-0 up.

Been a miserable season as a Spurs fan but Chelsea dying has been at least something of a tonic.

Good run , just pathetic and completely looked like kids in comparison tonight. Hope they finish the season strong and not wimper through it.

we need a midfield revamp me thinks , need more athleticism there and the ability to drive forward with the ball and win duels

When do we begin discussing this title collapse by Arsenal?

EDIT: Wanted to add these comments.

It was shocking but I give full credit to City. They deserved to win no doubt about it.

But it must be said there was some shocking play from every Arsenal player. Odegaard gives the ball away and City score immediately. EACH ARSENAL PLAYER KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT OF THIS GAME. THEY KNEW WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO FOR 90 MINUTES.

SHOCKING.

But it does happen and has happened TO US in the past so it is what it is. The players knew what they had to do. They had to give everything out there. I DO NOT THINK FOR A SECOND THAT OUR PLAYERS GAVE EVERYTHING FOR 90 MINUTES.

Just my opinion.

But again, it is what it is. I'm not knocking City at all! They are awesome and will definitely win the treble. I LOOOVE Kevin de Bruyne and to me he is the worlds best player. City have him and they are well on the way to winning everything. GG


*sigh* Reminds me of Theo running down the field at Anfield on a Champions League night. We score and then we IMMEDIATELY give a goal away and then lose.

*sigh*

Sad mad everything it sucks but THAT IS the Premier League. Up and down. Promote, relegate.

I'm going to take a break from football. I think it's best for me. Thank you all for discussing with me on here. I've never met any of you but you all like football so that makes you pretty awesome to me!

Cheers!

Arsenal have bottled it.Big time.

But where it really matters Brighton have royally **** up and let Forest out of the bottom 3, putting us back in it.

Definitely not a new thing. Arsenal have always been the biggest bottlers in North London, and the Premier League in general. Spurs have rarely ever been good enough to bottle anything in the first place, and even the season when we were accused of bottling the title (2015/16), we were top for all of 10 minutes, and Leicester were already well in control at that point. If Arsenal fail to win the league this season, they will set a new record for the longest period of time at the top of the Premier League without going on to win it. Who's first now? Arsenal 2002/03. Who's second now? Arsenal 2007/08. Who's fourth? Arsenal 2013/14. So yes, they would be bottlejobs if City win it, but they always have been, if the criteria is throwing away the league. The club's historical success and big fan/media presence are two of the main reasons why they're not perceived that way and Spurs are.

I won't be crowing about Arsenal for a couple of reasons, though. Firstly, they're still mathematically well in the title race. City's fixtures and form look much better, but football is a strange game sometimes. Secondly, they've performed well above expectations this season with many of their players making great strides in their game, and Spurs have been simply dreadful. As apocalyptic as Arsenal winning the league would be to Spurs fans, the biggest disappointment to me has been Spurs themselves, by far. Rivalry is one thing, but you have to worry about your own team, at the end of the day.

I mean, look at all the Chelsea fans popping off about Arsenal on socials, and look at the absolute state of their club right now. They shouldn't be talking smack about Fulham, let alone Arsenal. I swear there are some fans that get more joy out of other clubs failing, than their own club succeeding.

Something drastic needs to be changed about Spurs, they look so poor right now.
