You know there's something wrong with the Premier League when Arsenal have the best defensive record. 
That sounds ridiculous.

For someone who watches them week in week out I can assure you today was one of the first times De Gea, Rio and Evans looked like a unit and had an understanding
Like they said on Sky he moved to his left because of the movement in the wall, whether that means he lined up the wall incorrectly or made an incorrect judgement call making that step to his left doesn't detour from the fact he was brilliant today (as was the freekick that Mata scored hence I lay no blame on him)
Man of Honour
Oh no, if you're on about my suggestion the main point is that his defence have no confidence in him, that's why I think he should go.

Weird, as someone who doesn't watch them week in week out I thought they were utterly disjointed at the back and twitchy. Perhaps I'm used to watching a more commanding keeper :shrug:
It doesn't deter from the fact that his step to the left resulted in the goal. I personally thought Souness was talking rubbish - he lined the wall up and has then taken a gamble on Mata going over the wall. It's something that keepers do a fair bit but don't get punished because either their guess was right or, unlike Mata today, the shot doesn't find the top corner.

We've been the same for most of this season, whether it be Lindegaard or De Gea in goal, the defence themselves are playing just as much of a part in it.
Also, Chelsea's defence was just as bad as ours today, worse at times.
Man of Honour
That may well be the case, my comments were on today's game & I'll stick by what I saw.
And I agree totally, we've had some gaping holes in our defence this season, mainly caused by A.Cole & Ivanovic trying to give us width, and the better teams have exploited that, like today.
Well just back from Southampton and what a let down. We have to stop playing terribly for 45 mins and going 2 goals down before we start getting into a game.
Second half AVB had the single worst team talk as Spurs put 10 men behind the ball and defended the 2-0 lead, badly. We took Puncheon off (who is a deluded idiot after spouting out he's a premier league player, he's not. He's an average L1 player and needs to be shot to get him away form the club). After that things went well, plenty of chances, lots of composure from our cb's that left Dempsy and Defoe looking utterly useless.
9 games in, the premier league really isn't all that and we just have to cut out some of the amateurism (and stop playing Puncheon) and suddenly I'm not depressed compared to the last few games.
No idea if this was posted earlier (GP to quickly watch first instead) but this was HEROIC to keep it 2-1 from where I sit it looked like it was going to rip the net out.

Jeebus that's one safe was that Sandro?
highlight of today for me was the Suraz celebration I hate the little **** but it comedy gold. Moyes must have felt like hitting the little bugger!

Lol, why would you need a replay?
yeh it was sandro. second half, he was the only spurs player who seemed to want to win the game. massive props to him for that, could've easily put his hands up. he's a machine, he pretty much gets straight back up!
Soldato
Ha ha I know when he did I thought he's doing the Salmon , he must play FIFA. Then I saw Moyes face
Caporegime
Was that Torres high boot on Cleverley really the one people thought he should've been sent off for?
