Still in near disbelief about this morning.

Little did I know when I woke up this morning it would St. Totteringham's Day!

Ahhh... Good stuff

Sp*rs hadn’t simply Sp*rsed it up, they’d Sp*rsed it up in epic style. A truly hilarious piece of footballing comedy. I don’t even think it needs the footballing qualifier there. It’s genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve ever experienced, and you know what, it felt like something that was badly needed from an Arsenal fans point of view.

This season has been one of deep frustration for many, things have become contentious and ugly at times. It’s been difficult and trying, so to enjoy something together felt cathartic in a way. Of course there are a few who will say celebrating a last day finish in second is ‘small time’ or something equally trite, but if you can’t enjoy an Arsenal win, coupled with a frankly uproarious Sp*rs collapse there’s something wrong with you.

Especially when all we’ve heard this season is how brilliant they are, how they’re the future, how they’ve had a season to be proud of and everything else. We’ve had a dismal campaign in comparison, we’ve been written off, dismissed as this, that and the other, and for all that, they have a chance to finish above us for the first time in 20 years and they bottle it like Bottler McBottle, heir to the McBottle Bottling dynasty who have been bottling things since before anyone can remember.

What about Woj?

Does he play at Roma another season? It may be time to bring him back to Emirates and get some direct instruction from Cech, if indeed we're still looking at him as the heir-apparent when Petr hangs it up.

Personally, I'd rather sell Woj to Roma or where ever and go out and sign another top keeper when Cech retires, but Arsene seems invested in Woj.

Thought I read that Roma wanted to loan him another year, but not buy him, which I'd be fine with. I think he's got a high ceiling, just has to sort out the mental stuff, if he can.

Hope we can keep Ospina. Excellent backup, despite his earlier CL snafu, and I think James is his bro-in-law, which could help us land him, if he's available.

And people think there are better at what he does. He has more one time "what did I just see"? moments than any other player. It happens every match.

So Cech won the Golden Glove with that last second Own Goal in the United match?

He was going to have a share of it regardless, but I think that is true

Arsenal have been fine on defense, minus 2-3 games. It's the not converting in front of goal that killed us.

Some transfer thoughts:

Looks like Xhaka will go through. With he and Elneny in, I think we've replaced two of Arteta, Flamini and Rosicky.

That means we'll have to add a third CM to the squad. I would guess we'll promote Zelalem or possibly bring Toral into the mix, with the former being the likelier case. Toral had a great year, but Zelalem seems to be the next young guy to come through to the first team.

I hope somehow we can keep Gibbs but I'm not hopeful.

Gotta buy a CF, but I think we probably don't buy a winger. If we do, I'd love James, as would just about any other club in the world.

How does RM decide who they are just going to let go? I haven't been following, but it seems you brought him up for a reason. Why would RM let him go two years after they let Ozil go to get James?
