Desperately disappointed to lose out again to the Gooners by one point. Have to give them credit for taking 26 of their last 30 points where we only took 18. I pinpoint the loss to Liverpool when we gave away two dreadful goals as crucial. I also think that our home form was poor. In particular losses to Fulham and Wigan and draws with Norwich/w Brom/Stoke proved to be very expensive. Levy must take a share of the blame for not bringing in a quality striker in January particularly as Defoe's goals had dried up and Ade just was not performing. If we are to become a serious challenge for top four in the future, we must address our poor defensive record over the last four years. Arsenal were poor at the start of the year but it was their defence who mainly carried them through in the last 10 games. How many 1 to nil wins did they have. If you don't concede goals then you will not lose.

Adebayor started to perform in the Chelsea away fixture, most probably to try engineer a move away from the lane.

Disappointed with him this season, he is an immense talent and just didn't show it until it was too late!

Don, too much negativity. Arse last 11, Since we beat them, won 9, drew 2. They beat us by 1 point.
We got our record points total in the prem. a points total good enough for 3rd last season. We can't do any more.
You bring up the games we didn't win, what about the games we did win against both manc clubs and the gooners?
We are almost there, we just need a bit more luck, we have had our fare share though with late goals.
If we keep our core, we ARE there.

I do not think it is too much negativity. If we do not address our glaring weaknesses ie. our poor defensive record over the last three years, our inability to put away poor teams, and our average to poor return in the run in ( compared to the teams we are in competition with) for the last two years then we will never get to where we want ie. top four. I am a 100% Spurs fan for years but I am not blind to our weaknesses. I am not afraid to sign my posts either.
