You didn't have a point, just trying to have a dig at Spurs with nothing to back it up
Spurs are not a selling club and never have been. ANY player has a price at ANY club, stop talking such complete nonesense man.

arnt they more of a buying club.....*bent*
Campbell left (wasn't sold) seven years ago, when Alan Sugar was in charge of Spurs.
So, two of our top players have left in seven years.
Berbatov is a fantastic player on his day and no doubt he's ambitious enough to want League/Champions League medals. Let's not get carried away though - we finished 5th the season before he came along.
And it was Jenas and Keane, not Berbatov, who really destroyed Arsenal on Tuesday.

Carrick has hardly set the world on fire at United and as previously said, Campbell ran his contract out. People have touted Berbatov as leaving but yet he has come out and said he wants to stay, and no-one will match our valuation. We don't need the money, we are wealthy enough as it is.
On the subject of selling their best players....Henry anyone???
You are completely missing the point.
People were saying it was a strong Arsenal side and that Wenger had gone back on his policy of playing a bunch of younger and bit-part players. That is just an outright LIE, plain and simple, and refuting that lie the purpose of my post.
What team Spurs picked is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT, since I am not debating whether Spurs deserved to win, or whether they fielded 11 sixteen year olds or whatever.
The biggest problem with this issue is that people seem to have a pre-concieved idea about any comment by rivals in terms of it being 'weighted' or trying to make excuses. What part of
don't people get?
I can't understand why some people can't just be happy to see their team win, but instead go around looking to pick a fight regarding Arsenal's team selection (one which the facts show they can't win). Stuff like this is fine:
^because that is what it should be about. I'd feel the same if the shoe was on the other foot.
At the end of the day every manager has a right to choose whatever XI he sees fit, and if he loses you can't use that as an excuse, it is just a fact. But equally you can't have the winning side turn round and claim that the team selection was handled differently than it was.
Not with Ledley King in it you don't - him and Dawson are pretty decent if you ask me!
HangTime I don't think it is the spurs fans picking a fight regarding team selection. Even before the game most of the comments were about the Arsenal team being kids etc which basically is trying to imply that they weren't all that good & thus in a way belittling the result that Spurs got.
While I will admit a number of people (though not in this thread that I have seen) have gone a bit ott, the point being made is that while a number of the Arsenal team were of course young overall they are still good players all but one with premierleague experience & then they were backed up by very good players. Had Wenger really wanted to stick with his youth then you actually do have reserve & youth players do you not?
I along with others have seen & appreciate the 'deserve to win' comments from some Arsenal fans but at the same time while I can see they are honest comments they do seem a fair bit to have an underlying 'but it was only coz of our team selection mentallity' behind them & I believe the point is being made that while the team selection was clearly not the strongest it could have been it still was not a weak side as keeps being implied. That is all really.
I agree we deserved to win
I agree Wenger could have easily chosen a stronger side, in a way it is a shame he didn't as on that form I still am sure we would have won & we would have been able to to enjoy it without having to listen to some excuses 
Plus we really could have called him a complete liar rather than only a small one.

I have a feeling Spurs would probably have won had we put out our strongest side anyway, they seemed much more up for this one than us 
You will always get some people making excuses or looking for some respite following a defeat. But you just have to rise above it and remember that at the end of the day, you won.
This season I've seen several Spurs fans moaning about their luck with injuries this season (especially at the back). This is pretty much tantamount to the same thing (blaming poor results on a weakened team) but at the end of the day what they are saying has some element of truth in it.

We had more shots than Spurs, and more on target. I suspect it's just a rehash of "I feel a defeat is painful, it doesn't matter who it is against. Overall I feel everything went against us tonight and we were a bit naive as well."
