Great for the title race, but really frustrating we missed our chance to reduce the gap by a 1/3. Now that Chelsea have finally been stopped, this might encourage the rest of the league.
Heck of a top 6 battle though!

Well said.
We may suffer a lot more from Spudās win than a Chelsea win.
On paper we āgainedā one point, but the race will be more tighter.
I hate Chelsea on a level with Spurs, so Iām happy with this result. Nice to see them lose after that streak idgaf

4th place will get a record number of points this season( for 4th place), Im thinking around 75.
Looking like the 6th best right now tbh, Coquelinās injury for me is a blessing though.
People say any one of the top 6 are a threat to us, and while that is true, I believe weāre more of a threat to ourselves in every sense of the word. Iāve made my peace with our aspirations this season, would thoroughly love to finish above them (spurs) but it wouldnāt haunt my soul too much if we didnāt finish top 4 for once.
Love the lads, will support them and take any positives I can from our displays but thatās about it in my eyes.

Iām feeling quite similar, especially this: āIāve made my peace with our aspirations this season, would thoroughly love to finish above them (spurs) but it wouldnāt haunt my soul too much if we didnāt finish top 4 for once.ā
I think the Man City game was the tipping point for me. I felt just disgust and so much disappointment. In the days after I started to come to terms with our level, because itsā clear that isnāt changing any time soon. In past years when our squad was weaker it seemed like we just needed better players, but I donāt think thatās the case anymore, this is just it with our current manager. I canāt bring myself to hate Wenger either for who he is right now and the circumstances in which he and the club have come to this juncture, but at the same time I canāt get that excited or invested in the team anymore. Thereās a limit. I still love this club and will follow it as much as I possibly can, but a layer of psychological and emotional insulation seems to have formed. I really wonāt be that fussed if we missed top 4, but yes finish above Spurs I really, really want to continue, itsā just too funny.

Remember that Tottenham are bigger bottlers than us. I am not gonna trust them until the last day of the season. They were even capable of losing a 5-point lead on us in just 3 game last season 
My first North London Derby was the first 5-2 at the Emirates. If you recall, that was the start of their epic downfall from some 13 points above us. I will never lose confidence in Spursā ability to do worse than us, Forever in our shadow.
The Spurs defence is absolutely rock solid this year so it will be interesting to see if they do implode.
They have more games than us, theyāll probably go quite far in the Europa League and we all know how much they donāt enjoy playing on a Thursday followed by Sunday. Iām still confident of finishing above them.

Happy enough with this result, I find cheering for a Tottenham win sickening, but Iām quite proud of the record we hold as it belongs to a truly great era for our club. We canāt be having The Invincibles being compared to a team that has David Luiz as one of its defenders.

It was predominantly the 2001-2002 team that holds the record your talking about not the invincibleās but I agree. We do hold the record for most consecutive wins, longest league unbeaten run & Scoring in most consecutive league games. All 3 of those records are something to be very proud of.

Fuck David Luiz.

Poch is good. He took a bag of shite and turned it into a bag of shite that plays a bit better football. Tactically quite modern.

Fair play to Pochettino for matching Chelski up with the formation
Thought Spuds played well and the Chavs looked like all the talk of this record had got to them

I doubt it. That record means nothing really. They just had a poor game.

Means nothing? 14 straight wins is pretty impressive and there had been a lot of talk about it leading up to this game
I cant believe for one minute that the players had not thought about it
