Spurs run in


Liverpool (a) Lost 3-2

- Never an easy team to play especially at Anfield, we won there earlier in the season but i still think they gave us a game until we scored the second goal, dodgy goalkeeping from Hugo Lloris and dodgy defending from both sides.


Fulham (h) Lost 1-0
- Three days after losing 4-1 at the San Siro, dominated the game but were sucker punched by their old friend Berbatov


Swansea (a) Won 2-1
- Never an easy place to go and win but they took a two goal lead and held on despite a late fightback


Everton (h) Drew 2-2
- Dominated possession and chances and again quite unlucky to come away with only a point, poor defending from Caulker and Vertonghen for the Jagielka header.


Man City (h) Won 3-1
- City wanted to win this game and keep the title race going for as long as possible, Spurs actually created very little for 70 minutes but controlled possession and invariably wore City down capatalising on poor marking for the equaliser and taking city apart on the counter attack for second and third goal.


Wigan (a) Drew 2-2
- Poor defending by Spurs but catastrophic defending from Wigan, Spurs controlled the game without ever really creating that much....both goals arguably gifted to them. Poor marking for Emerson Boyce's goal only a minute after them taking the lead.


Southampton (h) won 1-0
- Poor first half, took control of the game in the last twenty minutes and got the goal their dominance just about merited


Chelsea (a) drew 2-2
- Were outplayed by Chelsea for long periods of this game but took their chances and got back level twice and despite Gareth Bale having a poor game by his standards actually performed quite decently.


Stoke (a) won 2-1
Delicately poised at half-time, Spurs dominated possession as they would against most teams they would play but Stoke creating the better chances. After Charlie Adam got himself sent off was only a matter of time before Spurs broke through and got a winner with Adebayor duly obliging.


Sunderland (h) won 1-0
A very tense game with Spurs being kept at bay by Simon Mignolet, the tension was displayed by both players and the crowd........a rather dull affair settled by a wonder goal. Proved to be irrelevant as 4th place had been decided on Tyneside.



Arsenal run in


Swansea (a) 2-0
Didn't create much in the first half but apart from Michu Swansea created very little as well. The welsh side tired as the game went on, played much deeper and deeper and the pressure told. We soaked up whatever pressure they put on us in the last twenty minutes and put them to the sword on the counter.


Reading (h) 4-1
Stroll in the park with Gervinho and Cazorla having one of those fancy free games where they just ran at the defence for fun.


West Brom (a) 2-1
Not the best defensive performance in the world, Fabianski looking all at sea from set pieces....man of the match Tomas Rosicky providing brilliance in clearing off the line as well as taking his two goals superbly. Another shout out for Gervinho who proved that he could add a finishing touch to his technical talent.


Norwich (h) 3-1
Tense, Labored performance....the start of the dire midfield performances that would sum up the rest of our season. Conceding a cheap goal with lapse marking, looked like we would lose until we brought on podolski and walcott who opened up the canaries with their pace.


Everton (h) 0-0
Truly awful game which no side looked like they wanted to win, Everton shot their bolt within the first twenty minutes. And it wasn't until Wenger's clockwork efficiency with bringing on substitutes on 67 minutes that we actually looked dangerous and looked like we could win the game....too litttle...too late....Giroud's left foot.


Fulham (a) 1-0
Could have been punished, should have been punished....weren't punished. We were fortunate to play a Fulham side that couldn't buy a win....and had been completely savaged at home to Chelsea mid-week. Even despite the man advantage, couldn't keep possession....played deeper and deeper.....had to rely on Szczesny to bail us out with some decent saves. When Giroud was sent off it was frankly a relief......one of those games that illustrated why Aaron Ramsey should be no-where near the first 11.


Man United (h) 1-1
I thoroughly disagree with people that felt we played well in this game, we stunk up the place and deserved to be beaten against a side that were already champions and for the first half an hour clearly didn't even give a fuck. Half-hearted challenges, no pressure on us on the ball and we were only 1-0 up, Ramsey was giving away the ball at every single opportunity and Rosicky was forever trying to shoot when there wasn't a shot on. When United woke from their slumber it was only a matter of time before they equalized, so Sagna really didn't need to do them a favour. Second half even worse....constantly torn to shreds on the counter attack and wasn't for the fact that both Valencia and Rooney had poor games would have lost and resoundingly.


QPR (a) 1-0
One of the games that sums up why i hate watching Arsenal this season, reasonably nice passing football in the first twenty minutes but as soon as QPR realised they were playing a competitive match the team retreated into their shells. Arteta was ok, but Rosicky and Ramsey were an utter disgrace again....although neither of them managed to perform quite as badly as Monreal in that game.....you could tell we were playing a team that was already relegated any other side would have had us on toast.


Wigan (h) 4-1
Good opening fifteeen minutes, but after that retreated back further and further and invariably made to pay for our reticence to go for the jugular albeit with a little assistance from Mike Dean. Second half, we weathered a right old battering.....and took the game and premiership survival away from Wigan. Probably one of most accomplished second half performances of the season despite playing with a shackle round our leg in the form of Aaron Ramsey.


Newcastle (a) 1-0
Awful, Awful, Awful......whimpered our way to Champions League football....Walcott and Koscielny seemed to be the only players that had bothered to turn up at St James Park. Ramsey was a good pick for the neutral whose inept passing and inability to keep the ball kept the game in the balance despite Newcastle preferring not to have anyone go into the box (taking a leaf out of our own book no doubt)....Walcott was slightly unlucky not to put the game to bed. Was just glad when it was over and not just because we secured 4th, no more awful football to watch for another two and a half months....phew.
