Hmmm, Sandro didn't dive, but Dunne seemed to get a lot of the ball. Not complaining though.

Mancini brought on De Jong earlier and ended up winning the game. Maybe he felt that by bringing on Parker it would allow Modric and Sandro to work higher up the pitch.

Will Harry still be here next season?

NO way Sandro went down easy, stonewall penalty.

Maybe. Hardly gave it long to work though, did he?

In my eyes Harry is gambling on Bayern winning, which in my opinion is stupid.

I expect the ch avs to win the CL its been that sort of season. That means 3rd is necessary and I think we just blew that chance

Sandro and Modric are hardly prolific either. If you're going to gamble at least loo like you mean it.

"Maybe he felt that by bringing on Parker it would allow Modric and Sandro to work higher up the pitch."

10 vs 11, chasing a winner.
You need players who can keep possession in attack, and rapidly get the ball back up to attack when their brief forays out of the bus break down.

Parker is NOT that player.

If we cannot be WBA in what is now a one off game for 3rd, then we don't deserve it and you are welcome to it...

that's just my view, and not the view of Arsenal FC

No one interested in joining then?

"Will Harry still be here next season?"

Even money now.
Not that he's worried. To be sacked means a pay-off.

Levy has f--ked this up.
He forced neither Redknapps' nor the FAs' hand in public as soon as Capello quit.

Harry will be with us next season IMO at the moment he is still the best manager available to us

"that's just my view"

That is a widely held G.oon view.
But Spurs will no doubt endeavour to ensure even that won't result in punishment for you.

Maybe if he gets some money to spend he'll actually bring subs on.

"Harry will be with us next season IMO at the moment he is still the best manager available to us"

And he knows it. Even if he fails to deliver CL.

Oh well disappointing tho the result was its not a total tragedy.

3rd is still possible its a typical Spurs season, torture from beginning to end

If it was straightforward it wouldn't be Spurs

What we need now is a win against Fulham, I hear Harry is thinking of playing 5 at the back and 3 DM players

"3rd is still possible its a typical Spurs season, torture from beginning to end"

My particular problem is that half of me is just so pathologically vindictive I'd want no CL just to punish those who f--ked up the final 3 months.

it's alright though - he'll bring on Cudicini in the 83rd minute

It's not typical Spurs, though, is it? Typical Spurs, in my time anyway, has been finishing just above mid-table. It's just that recently we've begun to believe we're better than that. And we really are close to being a very good team. But we need a very good manager...

"he'll bring on Cudicini in the 83rd minute"

88th. He's not that adventurous.

Harry staying will only hamper us next season with regards to transfer policy and team development. Levy should bite the bullet sack Harry and pay him off and instal someone else to take us forward. If we do somehow qualify for CL then he probably will stay.

Well Harry thinks Adebayor put a good shift in up front ?

I would agree if he was a baggage handler or something but I am pretty sure as a forward "putting a shift in" would involve being able to control a damned football

"Levy should bite the bullet"

And BUY Damiao WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE come August (unless Rogers/Moyes/Martinez etc have a big list of Cisses' they're dying to buy) .
