3rd place in the bag then.

I thought we were superb today, a near perfect performance after the horrible 20 mins at the start. So many standout performers and so much urgency and speed in our play. Superb stuff.
This game shows what a fraud 'Arry is, too. Completely outclassed by WUMger.
Bale was shown for what he is and now teams know how to stop him. Modric showed me he is not worth the money spuds want for him.

No income tax, no vat... :whistle:
There was a very effective tactical adjustment in the 2nd half. With the fullback back and attacking game back to normal, we were vulnerable at the back. This clearly visible in the first half. In the second half Song stayed back with the CBs, stopped his forward runs which was so effective when we played with makeshift fullbacks. Arteta, Rosicky and Yossi pressed Scum high up and made sure they didn't get space and time to make use of the ball.
Just back, lovely jubbly! Fantastic team performance, every single one of them put in a shift today. Some of the football was breathtaking. You can't ask for more than that.
Hopefully the goals for Theo and Rosicky will give them something to build on - they've looked short of confidence for months. They both looked different players after that.
Anyway, we need exactly the same against Liverpool next week: win there and we could be just four points off Spuds by next Sunday. Game On.
(Oh, and I very much looking forward to an Eduardo-esque witch hunt against Bale running in the media over the coming weeks - no doubt Sky have already called him out as a cheat, right? :arry: )
