Following the herd
Taken from the Independent
One of the old traditions already appears in place. The "lucky Arsenal" tag is more than 70 years old, but seemed as relevant as ever on Saturday. Not only did Bennett exonerate Gallas, when on another day he could easily have been dismissed, there was a suspicion of offside about the Gunners' first and third goals. Furthermore, Gallas, having inadvertently scored off his back at Celtic in midweek, fluked the latter strike as well, off his calf and face.
It's about time we had some luck. the old lady seems to have deserted us over the last few years. But instead of giving the Arsenal some praise for three straight wins, with 12 goals in the process, the media instead get all gooey over Tottenham and say how lucky we have been.
'Cos of course we never deserved to beat either Everton, Celtic or Pompey. In fact if it wasn't for our fortuitous 12 goals we would probably have lost all three games. In fact one guy, who gets paid for this, says that had Gallas been sent off Pompey would probably won the game.
And if my Uncle Dick had a fanny he'd have been my Auntie Dick.
Jeez. Tottenham have beaten mighty Hull, average West Ham and a wierd Liverpool. So why the hype for them? Why the collective crawling in some sections of the media. We know what's gonna happen. They will implode as they do every bloody year.
Bloody hell, they're trying to kid us that Roman, Robbie, Robot man and Defore are the best strike force in the Premier League.
I guess they're pissed, having consigned to a top 6 position they don't want to lose face.
We've won nothing, far from it, but we have rubbed some faces in the ground...and they don't like it, do they?
