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.

The Don

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.

A GOONER

You ain't worthy of it and you know it.
You are poor. We have been poor at home. Nothing splits us.
See you next season.
I can't wait.

So the gooners make "champions league" again.
this will be their 17th attempt at actually winning it.
and their supporters rejoice at this annual charade!
b/s

Yes were s***, but wer'e still better than you lol.

A GOONER

A gooner. Good time poster.

Typical gooner.
Sad, very sad.
Hurry along, school tomorrow.

They have won ther cup final.

Arsene whinger blows off FA cup, CL and league cup just for 4th and the coffers.

We try to win a European trophy and it costs us. So fair play to woolwich.
Well played gooners.

A gooner, story for ya.
Arsenal security have called police because of a break in at the library (emirates to you)
A break in of the trophy room no less.
A statement from the police read,
' unfortunately we have to report a theft from the trophy room at arsenal fc.
We are looking for 2 individuals, last
seen, carrying a carpet down the hollway road

I'm worried for next season now. Europa League won't be enough to tempt the very best of players. AVB will be a good siren, so let's hope he stays. But with the likely departure of Bale (I cannot honestly think he'll stay another year) and the doubtful capability to sign players of his calibre. Maybe I'm just being tetchy. Surprise me Levy.

I have todisagree I don't think bale will be leaving for both personal and football reasons and if he does stay there will be the combined effects of having AVB, one of the best training facilities around and just getting to play with bale. All these things will be enough to attract real quality if levy is willing to pay up.

Robspur

If Levy/ENIC support the manager we will move forward. if not i'm afraid we will be watching l'Arse from below for many years to come.

Being an Arsenal fan I am happy that we have finished 4th. But I have to say you guys gave us one hell of a fight this season, and it I would be lying if I said that I was sure we would finish above you.

Honestly I would have liked us to finish 3rd and you guys to finish 4th, with the Chavs finishing 5th or probably dropping further. Here is hoping that the next season will be as exciting for both the north london teams as this one.

All the best!

Faith in the internet restored. Kudos good sir.

Chelsea fan in peace. Sorry you missed out you deserved to qualify for champions league. I think bale will stay, why would he leave unless he went for the money. You have the best young manager around, and with a couple of additions will be up there with the best. Being a Chelsea supporter I am worried about what you will achieve. With the amount of bad luck you have had in the past two seasons, you must be due one hell of a bright future. Keep your chins up I think your future could be very very good. Dave

They scraped a result to seal 4th and they won't shut up for a moment. Are u this sad? What makes u think u deserve third more than Chelsea who deservedly got SIX POINTS from Arsh*tna and Spuds? Show some respect u person.

Themonk certainly doesn't speak for all of us Arsenal fans, I was ecstatic to see you guys miss out on Champions league football, that's rivalry though and I'd expect you to feel the same if we missed out

The numbers speak for themselves and and as far as respect is concerned, I ain't afraid to say even ad a gunner that I respect Spurs and AVB more for what they have achieved within their means than the stupid Chavs and their owner who fires managers after every few months and has got their fans used to buying silverware rather than really winning it.

As an Arsenal fan I would still want us to do it the right way rather than paying 50 mill plus for players and still not winning the league.

Respect and Legacy is what truly makes a great club, not the financial muscle!

19 May 2013 18:40:44
bye bye bale, ps:- mind the gap because it's going to get a lot bigger now mark my word
true gunner.

'Mark my word'?
Give me this reason m. oron.
By the way. The gap is non existent. There is no gap. It could of gone either way today. 2 good teams fighting it out.
By the way again, we don't feed to Manchester like you, bale stays.

19 May 2013 23:10:22
Where have you been hiding the last few weeks, anyone would think you were worried?

19 May 2013 18:26:45
I could be gracious in victory. But St. Totteringhams day only comes round once a year. Arsenal got a lucky win? What game were you watching? Could of been 3-0 by Full time. Bye bye Bale, wish him all the best in Spain. Let's see if you can attract Moutinhio, Damiao, Villa etc without CL football.

Go watch N. F. L and have hot dog

What an awful insult.

Detroit Gooner

How far the Arsenal have fallen, once a team challenging for the top prize and now finishing above us is all that matters to you lot. On the flip side a regular mid table side, now regularly top 5 and improving, no wonder this is classed as an achievement in your eyes.
Fair play to the Arsenal but I think this shows the balance of north London is changing. Keep celebrating an achievement which should be conceived as failure for such a "big side"

19 May 2013 20:24:09
How far Arsenal have fallen, don't kid yourself son, when you build your much needed new stadium and are still selling the likes of Berbatov and Carrick to Utd along with the likes of Modric and Bale to Real Madrid. let's just see how many times you make top four shall we.

Get a Grip on Reallity!

When did I say I was a spurs fan? Fool!

19 May 2013 23:05:23
Yes you were lucky, your goal came from a freekick that shouldn't of been and then off their goalkeepers head (martin fulop mk2). You had no shots on goal until the 2nd half and you are lucky almost everygame whereas Tottenham are unbelievably unlucky every season.

19 May 2013 18:19:01
What a surprise, Arsenal get a lucky win, again.

You know, if you had done better earlier in the season, you wouldn't have had to depend on our 'luck'.

As always Spuds, North London is red!

COYG!

Ted

Lucky win?! Typical jealous spuds fan

19 May 2013 18:03:06
Absolutely cracking goal by bale. Here is hoping its not the last we see In a spurs shirt. I am ppersonally very confident he'll stay.

72 points. Record totel for spurs in the Premier league. If the geordies held on it would have been seen by everyone as a success.

Chin up guys we'll be back.

Will get slaughtered for this but what the **** is AVB playing at? This is the most important match for ages and he is playing Parker and Huddlestone together yet again!
Please don't let this backfire on us!!!

We want him to stay, we want him to stay, AVB, we want him to stay lol

A GOONER

Parker played very well.

19 May 2013 06:50:30
I have the faith! I had a dream we will win 2 1 with bale & vert scoring & Newcastle 2 win 1 0 with cisse!

Today is the day Gents. Avbelieve.
