Subject: Tottenham v Arsenal

Well, they finally ended the jinx! Bit of a thrashing, albeit against Arsenal kiddies ;)

I'm very glad indeed about this (don't tell the wife...), as it means that the rumours about Armand Traore coming to Norwich might cme to some form of fruition.

Gallas, Hleb, Fabregas and Sagna played tonight for them, plus Eduardo, and Adebayor came on, he should have stuck with the kids!

There was some fringe players, but yeah was much more first team than last time! Great stuff!

I think...Spurs are coming together under Ramos now, recently they seem to be more consistent, under jol you were never quite sure which spurs would turn up, the one that could play virtually any side off the pitch or the one that gifts you cance after chance.

Also it seemed last night that Jenas ran the show, he seemed to be behind a few of their goals, which I'm pleased about as IMO he gets unfair stick. I think he's one of those players that reads the game brilliantly, as you'll often see him in the perfect defensive and offensive positions, and then fluffs the tackle/shot, which can be annoying, and easier to complain about than a player who just doesn't get into those positions.

Nice to see the myth about Arsenal's youngsters finally put to bed.

They beat Liverpool 6-3 last season with a team "full of youngsters" that had mostly played more than 10 games or were already a full international.
Liverpool fielded proper youngsters.

It was also amusing that throughout the match the Sky commentators were utterly Arsenal biased and were going on as though Arsenal could take the lead at any moment. They persevered with that until 4:0.

"Gallas, Hleb, Fabregas and Sagna played tonight for them, plus Eduardo, and Adebayor came on, he should have stuck with the kids!"

Well done for making this point mate. I'm committing those names to memory for my "well done on beating our kids" rebuffs today.

I was at the game, twas fantastic.
