Chicken FC got fried! | Saka grab the sauce! | Spurs 2-3 Arsenal Match Reaction

Big six teams can't chat to us. United, Old Trafford, it's long for you lot. Bloody hell, man. Second half, the turning point was Ryers mistaking it. Ryers' mistake made it all mad. Obviously, Declan Rice is giving away a penalty. A bit harsh, but what he did. Five terrible goals, man. In many ways, Spurs didn't deserve to be 2-3 down at halftime, but they gave us set pieces. We took advantage. We've played two games more than City. They probably watched the game or know what the scoreline is. We hope Forrest can do a job. I personally don't think anybody can stop their man there, but yeah, it's not a pretty game at all. It's not a pretty game. It's not for the fake-hearted. Ryer messed it up for himself, man. DG not, we must be better. Ryer needs to get that ish out of his locker. Ramsdale was killed for things like that. He was. And it's the wrong time. Nine times out of ten, that pass comes off to party and we're all laughing, but that's the one time it didn't. Unfortunately, we've lost Case. Havertz, man of the match. Havertz, man of the match. Havertz, man of the match. Shout out to Shai Havertz, man. King Kai, Cobra Kai, whatever we can call him. Hopefully, this means they'll have the motivation to go on the run and be in top form when they play City. Spurs are bending over backwards for them, man. I just have to hope City. Me, I just hope City have a bad day at the office. That's the only way I see us bossing Case. City just have a bad day at the office. I don't see anything else. They're bending over backwards for City. Spurs genuinely have a good record against them. This is going to coincidentally be the first time he's dead. Jesus, we played like we're just fighting for top four old days. Foot off the gas, man. I'm sure both managers. When you look at the goals conceded, no one's going to be happy with that. I would have loved to have seen us on the front foot a lot more. I mean, I was right with stuff. Saka, son. I said Saka to score, son to bag and get a pen, set pieces. I should be a better man again. No, that's how he gets up there. Shouted at the screen so I know the game's finished. It's funny seeing you lot on this emotional roller coaster with me. I must admit, I'm not going to lie. I thought the equaliser was coming. Like, you know, I don't think my mic picks it up. But obviously I can hear the Spurs fans. So any sort of noise I can hear, I'm like, yeah, it's coming. It is coming. Ramsdale, Raya. If we could get our very own Allison or something. I like Raya, but I would do it. It's just crap that that had to happen for Raya at the worst time. Obviously off the back of the Bayern Munich stuff. I think Raya's positioning can be crap at times. And I do think, you know, when you play out from the back as a goalie, these mistakes are going to happen. I've seen Allison do it twice against Arsenal. He done it when we had Reece Nelson and Lacazette. I'm sure he did it last season as well. Edison's done them on a couple occasions. So it's going to happen. Doing them things. Being a ball-playing goalie twice a season, three times a season. That BS is going to happen. It came at the wrong time. But what has been the case this season, when there has been individual mistakes, we've just got it over the line. Now, I can't say it was a tale of two halves, man, because Spurs would probably say, you know what, van der Ven's goal, not disallowed. We might be having very different conversations. Maybe if they scored an equaliser, different conversations. In the first half, I think we forced the errors in the build-up to the two goals that we scored from set pieces. It was a lovely ball for Havertz against the run of play, but I don't think we were necessarily as fit as we could be. I do think there was a bit of leggedness. I do think there was an element of professionalism, but it's been compounded by players switching off for certain moments. It's nice to see we got over the line, but we've got to be better. Generally, we've got to be better. We always say you want the result first and then whatever. But on another day, at the end of the day, it was 3-0. No matter how we got there, we was winning 3-0. That's not how the game should have ended. Now, I don't necessarily care now, in hindsight, because we got away with it, but we've got to be better, man. We've really, really and truly got to be better. How's your nerves? I was never nervous. What's nerves? I was calm. I knew we was doing our thing. I was never nervous. Apologies for the shouting, people. They had 12 days rest. We played exactly like a tied away team. There was elements of that. Spurs pressed hard and closing up our players to not do the close-up one-twos, which is killing us going. I think the long balls were doing us justice. It's a crazy one because I think, obviously, people are going to revise stuff now, but I think Rayo, not that he had much to do, but I think his distribution was good. I think it was cash money trying to hit Kai Havertz and Bakayo Saka. Why did they wear red socks? Obviously, that man got the white things in it. They got the white kit, so he had to. It isn't an easy game, but we let them back in. Two troops can be held in the same realm. We shouldn't have made it that dramatic, but the main thing is winning the game. It doesn't matter how you do it. Just do it. I expected more from Rice. I think Rice was good. He just was silly for the penalty. That's about it. The large part, I can't go over the line, really, man. I'm not dissing anyone. I don't know why the Super Chats are not coming up. What's going on here? That's annoying. I don't know why it's not coming up, but whoever said that, big up you lot. It's not coming up anymore. Wait. I think we all nearly had a heart attack, man. It's been a big week. It's been a good week. Again, we need to focus on Bournemouth where there is a bit of rest now, and we need to deal with Bournemouth. United away. For me, we beat United away. There might be something there, man. Only the Arsenal fans are chilling here at work. We all look like we've seen ghosts. Raya is way better than Ramsdale. As a goalie, I think they're quite into it. The ball play and the distribution. I know today's not the best thing. I think Ramsdale's worse than Raya. Traditional goalkeeping stuff, same realm. I think there's a reality in a couple of years if Raya doesn't improve significantly, not saying he's been bad, he might as well just get a new team. All the helicopters are out. It's a derby playing away. What do people expect? Tottenham to just let us come to their groove, I think, home and take all three points. I'm saying it now. If we win every game's first, hand us the title by beating City, I see it coming. North London derby, do this. You can't always expect a smooth sailing win. You can't, but two truths in the same realm. It wasn't smooth. Let's be honest. We went 3-0 up, and it wasn't playing sailing. No matter how anybody shapes it, from how it was at 3-0, to how the game ended and the nerves, and you lot obviously listening to me, and I'm sure you lot around, wherever you lot are, big up you lot, have your own thoughts. It shouldn't have ended like that. But it's always nice to get the win. Big up Bakayo, man. Technically a goal in the City, he's wearing the captain's armband, another goal in the North London derby, and now Sky Sports City. Big up. Big up, Sophos. Exactly. Exactly, see. They're not... Your name's a bit mad, respectfully, so saying it is going to sound like a diss, but they're not going to try against City, man. That's confirmed. Spurs are not playing in top four, in my opinion. There's too much of a gap to close with, you know, Emery's Aston Villa. It's a myth. To be fair, they probably deserved the goal, but we tried to... They did. On the balance of things, I don't think... I said 3-1 prediction, innit, going into the game. I did think they'd score. We all knew it was written in the stars. They were going to get a goal. It's on. Penalty. We've seen this. Like, when was the last North London derby they were in a pen? Or some sort of moment like that? Raya's got to do better, man. I did think the pass was on, but when it happened, it was dead. Raya just has to hold his hands up. It was just a silly decision. Sometimes don't take risks, innit? Oh, here it is. DJ, I'm so happy. We are all things. Everything is energy. Just love. Appreciate that. Wise lesson. What I've learned in life, at 29, no one cares. Grind hard, though, is what I would say. I couldn't even sit down after Romero went in. I just paced around the room. To be fair, like, Romero's goal was handed on a plate, but there was... For me, there was a large period of that game where the only opening I thought Spurs genuinely had was set pieces or dead balls, and Romero was getting his head to it. So it was probably poetic justice in a way that he scored. Facts. The Spurs team can take a point from City. We need West Ham to give City a hard time. I think City are just going to be moving to these lot. Pierce, a great stream with you. I just think they're going to move to them. We got over the line. Of course, the build-up to the penalty, let alone Rice with a pen, he's got to hold his hands up. Raya, madness. You know, even the first half, it sounds stupid to say, but being 3-0 up, there were many things we could have done better. For a large part of that first half, I think, obviously we scored the goals. You know, Havart's done well. I think our distribution from Raya to Saka and Havart's was cash money. Havart's done well to set up Saka. Obviously, we've scored via two set pieces, so we've exploited a team that's weak at set pieces. And obviously, us having that as a strength was good. I think the build-up play to that was good. Even when you look at the own goal where Heuberg scored an own goal, we started to press. I actually think Beccario and someone else, I think it was Van der Veen, they sold Ben Davies short. They were the only good things we was doing well, really, and evidently scoring. I think in the first half, we weren't good enough on the ball. Everyone wasn't. I don't think we was looking after the ball well enough. I think we was giving it away cheaply. But as Solskjaer said, there was evidently going to be an element of a team that is a bit fatigued. But whatever people say, bounce back from the Aston Villa game. This was a big week where you know the pundits and all these things. They're ready to say, have Arsenal got the ball? Can they beat Spurs? Can they beat Chelsea? Bearing in mind, Tottenham Hotspur won the Premier League in September. We did what we needed to do. Big week. It would have been even better with two clean sheets, but it is what it is, man. It is what it is. In many ways, I guess it's just about right because in many ways, Spurs didn't deserve to be three goals down. Oi! Too much for a Sunday afternoon. Do you know what? It's good that they played this early because now we can actually relax a tiny bit. Like actually relax. Oi! I don't know what to say, man. I know Spurs fans won't agree, but if you don't like football, I don't know, man. Don't get twisted. I only like football when we're winning and we're like this. But the emotions, man. Nottingham Forest, if you need motivation, get it going, man. Arsenal going to lose? Not today, mate. Not today. We should have done a double over these lot really, but top six record is good for me. I will truly believe that certain things are coming home if we win at Old Trafford. That's when I believe in it. Saka should have done the Olympic celebration, should have done the darts, should have done something. Oi! Someone tell George get the Durag Diaries going. Follow me tweeting that. Boy. I don't know what to say. I can't believe we... Oi. Be honest. Did any of you think it was going left? Like proper left? Oi, Saka was... That was a great goal from Bakaya, you know. Chopped him. Van der Veen, Lerwet. Ben Davies, Lerwet. To be fair, their keeper could have done better, man. Could have done way better. Way better there. Oh, mate. We're at the point in the season just winning the game. We know we should have defended better. We know we probably could have... It sounds mad because we went 3-0 up within the first 45 minutes, but I think everybody knows we could have looked after the ball better. We could have attacked better. We could have defended better. We could have had a bit... Beyond the obvious, we could have had a bit more spark in our play. Obviously, it shouldn't have been as dramatic as it was now. You know, Rijkaard, stupid mistake from him because for a long while it looked like they were resigned to defeat there. But the main thing is just winning the game. We can't just say we've won and shut up about things. You know, Mikel Arteta probably wasn't happy going into halftime because it is another game that follows slightly Chelsea and Aston Villa in that we're... First half is a mixed bag and you want to do better in the second. But it's just about winning. It's just about getting the three points. And I'm sure Arteta tomorrow or even after the game, he'll let these boys know what they could have done better. But what I would say, you know, whether it's Raya's mistake, Declan Rice's penalty, they've obviously factored into the game, but they haven't proved decisive for us. So we win, we ride off into the sunset and we keep it moving, man. Raya kind-hearted will cost his clean sheet. He just tried to be too complicated, man. It's going to happen occasionally. But it just happened at the wrong time. I do think Raya's positioning isn't always the best. I do think his crossing has gone back. He started well in his Arsenal career collecting crosses and they were good. It kind of went off the boil. As much as I understand it's the new age goalie and you've got to do all of that stuff, I would like him to look a lot more convincing in traditional moments. I'm happy with Raya, man. This is the first time that you shot yourself in the foot for the clean sheet thing. There's obviously, Bayern Munich, Raya could have done better. Chelsea away could have done better. Today, effed up. And I actually think there's been games. I wouldn't blame him, but Oli Watkins, when he's chipped him, he's not made it difficult for him, but it is what it is. There's not a single player out there that can say that they couldn't have played better today, really. Unless your name is Kai... If I'm honest, unless your name's Kai Havertz or to a degree, Thomas Partey, and when I watch the game again, which I'm going to do today, I might say something different. You can't really do anything, but it's not about that. It's just about getting the three points. And right now, we've got bragging rights. The great top six record continues. We now focus on a difficult test against Bournemouth, and then obviously United, and then everything. Three games left. Keep this thing going, essentially. And it would be nice to have a bigger squad because I can't talk about things that we're not involved in, but if we were still in the champs, we're playing on Tuesday, Wednesday, and then on a Saturday. So we need a bigger squad. So keep it moving. I'd say another thing, if I haven't made it clear, I was disappointed by the passing and all of that in the first half. I think the left-hand side, Tommy Asutrosa, were quite poor in that regard. But I don't care about none of that. United got rid of De Gea for an issue like this. 323 viewers, 513 likes, DG performing miracles. That's you lot, man. I wish I could, though. There's all your celebrations. Out of the April slump, though, which is the key thing, man. Obviously, you know how it is. Arsenal, always one game away from crisis. Everyone's got a lot to say. They were terrible. Obviously, when you're trying to fight City for a title, it's never nice to lose. I do think the defeat to Aston Villa came at the wrong time in the league, and obviously the manner of what happened, and obviously the backdrop of going at the Bayern Munich game. But we've reacted well. It's a shame that all of this could count for nothing. Yeah. Kai Havertz is overrated or not. Not to me. I think he's doing whatever. He's part of the squad still, man.
