lets be real the
spurs are a top 6 side a
draw against them isn't the worst result really... and if you think that we have already played man u, chelsea, liv,

draw from the beginning
against an awful team which got beaten by the entire league on a daily bases - this is something unimaginable.It is not Mertesacker fault for being embarrased by any player on the planet, it is the manager fault for exposing him as a laughing point of focus.Wenger must go, the man is deluded, he is scarred to take any risk for success.Well, guess what - only showing courage and breaking the risk can bring you success.Not the case - I predict a chain of defeats following, with the cherry on top being a big defeat
against Spurs - a team which, despite our hate, plays real football (with great results I must say).

draw)
