It's official
Well Spurs emphatically answered Martin Jol's question, they are Average. Last week Martin said...
"They all want to play here in occasions like this. Are you potential winners or are you average? That is what we have to find out."
Last night we found out exactly were Spurs stand on that point. As usual I won't bother giving yet another match report but needless to say from an Arsenal perspective it was a great result. Tottenham once again proved that 10-15 minutes of good football out of 90 is never enough against the better teams and to be honest I don't think we even saw that much from them last night. It should really have been finished off in normal time but all the Tottenham goal did was give us some more time to show the gap in class. It was in many respects rather embarrassing to see a side who claim to be a big club lack any sort of ambition in extra time as they were pegged back and passed off the park.
In some respects we were lucky that yet another Spurs player fell ill at the first sign of actually doing something but even so I don't think many of the Tottenham players offered much going forward.
We should also take a few moments to glance around us, having got a small gap on the chasing pack recently it's good to see they haven't taken the chance to close it. Bolton could only manage a draw with Charlton in the same was Portsmouth could only manage a draw with Boro.
