well first they'll probably break themselves. It's a ridiculously bloated and unbalanced squad and circumventing FFP by stretching out those contracts with longer amortisation is not going to be a winning formula long-term. Plus they probably won't make CL this year, so that's not going to help either.

Disallowed penalty goal. Hit with both feet.

that's crazy ... I've never ever seen that before. That stings for Fulham (and, well, everybody else).

Yup. And now Newcastle have bagged the winner.

That’s assuming FFP will actually do something about the spending in the coming years.

Men against boys out there, Spurs are horrific and Arsenal are cruising, not even at their top level and just breezing through this one.

Spurs are just mailing it in. Brutal showing for a big game.

It’s impressive that Lloris almost won two world cups, because every big game for us he does something stupid and gifts a goal. It starts with out captain.

Conte has been fully exposed this season. Terrible football, and he's badly outcoached again today. All he has is a prayer that Kane and/or Son can come up with something on their own.

On the flip side Saka has turned into an absolute terror to deal with, was England's best player at the WC and has kept that going back with Arsenal.

Well it’s the same setup for every game and a complete unwillingness to change it. We play with two mids and get overrun every time. Other teams all know what’s coming and have adapted. Couple that with a bone-headed play or soft goal on a nightly basis and it’s a recipe for disaster.

Brilliant.
With all the transfer saga distractions, I was worried the team may be a bit off today, especially at Spurs.
These boys don't lose focus, it's remarkable so far this season.

Good to see Arsenal get another win! They are putting some distance up. Another test next week against a hot Man Utd

It's been a VERY long time since an Arsenal v United game has meant this much. It was the fixture you looked out for every season - what I'd give for the old Vieira v Keane days.

A great re-watch, to reminisce.
