Only Arsenal player who looked like scoring was Flamini. Plenty of creating around the box but none of the right players got into a position to score.

Leicester on top and Arsenal drop to 3rd on goal difference. Can't count Spurs out either, equal best goal difference and looking solid as. They're as much a chance as Leicester IMO probably more so with Leicesters run of games coming up. Poch doing a fantastic job.

I hope we dont make that big purchase we're rumoured to, we aren't making the top four (even if mathematically possible, not happening, we could grab 5th but Spurs, Arsenal, City have all been much better than us and Leicester are a way ahead). Save the cash for the off season when Klopp can actually plan a season long push.

Arsenal's best chance in years to win the league. City should do it and Spurs are clearly right in the hunt. Leicester though are still top, and whilst luck will run out you would think, and depth isn't there to last, if they keep winning it'd be great to see

I think Klopp wants to get the guy in now and let him adapt, rather than get him in the summer and him cop the Firmino treatment.
We will still spend in the summer.

Seems like we (Spurs) haven't played a top team for ages, must have a hard run coming up somewhere.

No matter how bad Chelsea are going, it's always nice to know that we can be assured of our token 3 points against the hapless Gooners.

If Leicester are to mount any legitimate shot at the title, they need to take at least 4 points from the City/Arsenal fixtures and defeat Liverpool. Given how awful the scouse defense is atm it shouldn't be unimaginable to see Vardy pick a few off.

Even though Chelsea are out of the running, it really is an exciting culmination to the end of the season. Winner is up for grabs, top 4 is up for grabs, relegation is a dogfight. Should be good viewing and a nice one before the PL goes into obscurity off of Fox Sports.

Vardy did naught against us recently, it was mahrez who caused most grief, contain those 2 and you contain leceister

Theiry Henry knows his shit

“Now, Tottenham, coming from nowhere, are two points behind Arsenal and nobody has been talking so much about them winning the title. Now, they are well in it. It’s a four-team race for the title,” Thierry Henry said on Sky Sports’ Super Sunday coverage in the UK.

“They are in it. They are two points away from Man City and Arsenal with +22 goal difference. Arsenal have to go to the Lane. I never thought I would have said it, but they are in it.”

WHAT A STAR

There are a number of reasons to be excited about Tottenham, but after considerable publicity, Deli Alli fever has just gone to a whole new level. The 19-year-old has impressed throughout the season, but his goal against Crystal Palace will be tough to topple for goal of the year, a combination of audaciousness and skill, and a flash of something between Matt Le Tissier, Dennis Bergkamp or Henry himself.

“It’s impossible to have quality and not a good mentality,” his boss Pochettino lauded. “This is the combination that makes a great player like Dele Alli.”

And credit needs to go to Pochettino, too, rewarded for persisting with a teenager and letting him flourish where other clubs might make him bide his time on the bench.
