Poor old Tottenham, another game against the reds, another loss.

I managed to watch the game across the road from me! They showed it on Canal +, solid performance. Ljungberg ran alot, as did Ashley down the left hand side. We were tough in midfield, Vieira and Gilberto doing the business as usual.

Pires was looking more comfortable although he still winces out of challengers (and I can't blame him after such a long time on the sidelines). Henry scored an absolute cracker - ran about 30 yards twisting and turning and slotting it home with his left foot - great goal!

Ljungberg also got one after a generous pass from Thierry. Pires also gifted Wiltord a goal.

Shaaban didn't have to deal with much, but was pretty solid. Cugan had another great game along side Campbell.

Overall we were just too strong for Spurs, and they rarely posed a threat.

Come on you reds!

Yeah I know, but it was just such a great Derby, I loved every minute of it!

Chelsea are doing alright - a good few perfomances now that Ranieri has expanded his vocabulary to 24 words :)

My mate went to see them yesterday, he gets free tickets and free booze in the VIP box - cause his dad works for the sponsors, emirates.

Spurs were never going to win--Arsenal were dominating from the go.

That said, Spurs really were done no favors by the asinine refereeing. Davies' two bookings--come on, man. The first wasn't even a foul and the second was never a yellow card. He missed the ball and hit Vieira's ankle pretty hard, but there was absolutely no bad intent--Vieira just made him look bad.

Reilly has a loooooooooong history of being an incompetent ref.
Yesterday was just another fine example of why professional full time refs are needed.
