The last North London derby at Highbury ended all square, in a tough fought battle. The draw was a fair result as Spurs were pretty good in the first half. Aaron Lennon was very threatening, and was probably the most dangerous threat I've seen to our defence all season. Flamini, who has kept Beckham, Juve and C Ronaldo at bay couldn't cope with him in the first half which is pretty good testament to the spurs nob.
Second half saw a controversial goal from the lillyshites. Now this is a weird one, coz if it had been the other way round I would have been shouting at our players to carry on, which Spurs did. The problem I have is that the ref paused and checked the players were ok, which in itself isn't a problem, but it gave the impression to everyone that he was going to blow his whistle, which from watching the highlights you can see a couple of Arsenal players slowing down, most importantly Flamini and Djourou, which resulted in Robbie Keane being free in the box to score. I know everyone will say you have to play to the whistle but it's just annoying.
TH14 got a deserved equaliser, and if we had a few more minutes I believe we would have got a winner. Main problem was Wenger got the team wrong and should have started TH14 today. We needed a goal today, at present we don't need a goal Tuesday night in Spain. Well it's easy to be the manager from the terraces isn't it...
