What a game. Say what you like about the Arsenal, but they are some entertainment, on both ends of the field. I can't imagine being a fan though.

One of the games of the season! both sides going for the win & it could indeed finish 5-5

Fecking Ray Wilkins... last week it was "stay on your feet" and this week it's "stand up" I can't listen to much more of this so I may turn off the volume! Some game though!!!!

Is that Clive Allen on the Spurs bench? He was a good one. Remember that season in 1987 (I think) when he score 49 goals or something like that?

Aye but not easy for "Crouchie" to stand up.

Chelsea right back in it. They beat Utd, Arsenal turn over Utd and it's some final day of the season.

In fairness I thought that was a good effort from the Goons and a draw was a fair result. Spurs looked fresher at the end, great away record this season, RVP was on-side for the disallowed goal but it looked Gomes had stopped.

And you have idiots on here whinging about Wenger (non Arsenal fans), they don't know how good they have it with him around, where would you get entertainment like that.....if the EPL was a soap opera Wenger would be Bet Lynch....

Yep not so long ago Chelsea were 15 pts behind United (now only 6).. i always fancied Chelsea to finish ahead of Arsenal & it looks very likely now.

1-0 up at Sunderland - Bent equalises in the 95th minute = 2 points dropped
2-0 up v Spurs at HT - lose 3-2 = 3 points dropped
2-1 up at Wigan (down to 10 men) - own goal with 9 mins left brings it back to 2-2 = 2 points dropped
4-0 up at HT v Newcastle - somehow let it slip to 4-4 = 2 points dropped
1-0 up v Liverpool in the 98th minute - give away a pen = 2 points dropped
3-1 up v Spurs just before HT, let it back to 3-3 = 2 points dropped

I know all teams lose leads but this is amazing stats for Arsenals season, ignoring the League cup final as well. It also ignores a couple of poor 0-0 at home results.

If you look at that is isiolation and when you add in all the decisions that went in Man Uniteds favour it's easy to see why Wenger should be placed on suicide watch as Aresnal could conceivably be 10 points clear at the top. But that is the vagaries of sport and impossible to rationalise, for example if Arsenal had won at Sunderland the dynamic of their whole season probably would have changed and none of the subsequent results would have stayed the same, they might have won a couple more but could have lost some tight ones as well.

In essence in sport nothing is black and white and in EPL terms all that matters is the final league table and this season a team epitomising the concept 'sum of the whole is greater than the parts' will win the league. A young side like Arsenal should look and learn from that alas I wouldn't put money on it.
