Lmao 5-1. Will spurs ever manage to finish above Arsenal again? This is surely gonna mentally scar the spurs lot.
Cfc game was very end of season, good Drinkwater goal to level it near the end.

Shitty way to end our incredible season.
Maybe it's the eternal optimist in me, I don't think we have squad deep enough to handle Europa League yet. Defensively we're pretty good but Sam Byram must be our starting RB next season. We rely too heavily on Payet & Lanzini for creativity, without them the goals dry up so we also need a striker that has the initiative to make goals from nothing. I'd rather we strengthen in the Summer and go for a league position next year similar to this year with a decent cup run or something.
One positive is that that was the last time we'll ever see Valencia and Emenike in a West Ham shirt again.
Slaven Bilić's Claret & Blue Army!

He is, it seems that someone hasn't seen a lot of football matches this season. I'm sorry for you.
You can still get in Europe.
Need Utd to either:
Lose to Bournemouth or Beat Palace and we are in the group stages.
I know but I'd rather Palace win the Cup.
Like Pochettino has said in previous interviews, Spurs should no longer be so fixated on where they finish relative to Arsenal. Second or third should be considered the same to a team of this quality, which is a missed opportunity to win the league.
It's embarrassing if Arsenal players and fans are celebrating finishing second just because Spurs are second. They have blown their best chance of winning the league for years.
You never saw Fergie celebrate finishing second or third.

That result is the most Tottenham thing I've ever seen.

Was nice to see the players run over to celebrate Giroud's second with Rozza. I'll miss him.
And Arteta's farewell goal. Even if it was a Villa own goal its the moment that mattered.

ultimately spurs easily succeeded in their goal of getting champions league football and improved loads as a side
and arsenal failed dismally to even put up a battle for the league title in the weakest season in five years where all their traditional rivals struggled. they were perfectly placed.
losing 5-1 to a 10 man relegated team is hilarious however

Well said.
So United would have to win and score 19 goals in the process in order to qualify for CL? Good luck with that.
Suarez is miles ahead m8, along with about 7 others
Can't believe that spurs/newcastle game, holy shit
if we scored 19 goals in that game we'd also manage to achieve the impossible dream of outscoring david moyes 2013-14 side this season
by one goal
Final score had Kilbane on so of course every time they mentioned Saints it was only to talk about Everton. Constantly being undermined by the belief that there's a hierarchy in English football that must never change.
Rubbish King
The gift that keeps on giving
Well said mate
Because they used to win stuff and some fans still believe they're one of the 'big' clubs. That seems to be the only reason anyone can come up with.
I have seen all their matches and Higuain is miles ahead, he is better than him and Lewa. It seems that you are misinformed.
CHING CHING!
What people seem to forget is:
Farhad Moshiri: $1.93 billion
Katrina Liebherr: $ 3 billion
Only thing that would tempt him is Everton are a bigger club.
Sky need their summer story.

You can't simply ignore the rivalry. There is a huge monkey on the back of Tottenham, they have finished behind their biggest rivals for 21 consecutive years. Arsenal fans have right and reason to celebrate. Football is not only about the team that gets first. Ofc they blew it, but second place tastes very sweet now.
And the way how Spurs ended this season is very worrying for them.

Higuain is good but he's not as good as Suarez. Please be reasonable.
Higuain better than Suarez?
rofl he can't be serious
Sorry but none of them can even touch Carlton Cole.

I'm hoping he is but you can never tell on the internet anymore.
Hope they get caught. Must come with a pretty serious offence.

Ok let me put this into perspective for you... Spurs needed 3 points from their final 4 games to secure 2nd place above us. 3 points from 12 available.
So don't get it twisted, Arsenal fans and Arsenal as a club will still be dissapointed with this season overall but do forgive us if we take some time to celebrate the hilarity of this whole situation.
