surely the "potential" of a team with 2-3 world class players in each position should be more than to drop out of the CL every year in the group stages, and scrape the league on goal difference?
How he's kept his job this long is beyond me.

Walcott had a really good game yesterday. Stood up and was counted after having signed a lucrative new contract. Fair play to the lad.
Conclusionhttp://www.zonalmarking.net/2013/03/04/tottenham-2-1-arsenal-high-lines-and-balls-in-behind-the-defences/
The game was effectively won before half-time. In an amazingly open match with two staggeringly high defensive lines, Spurs were superior in three areas. First, the defence adjusted their position and dropped deeper. Second, they put more pressure on the ball and stayed compact, to deny Arsenal too many opportunities to play through-balls. Third, their timing of passes and runs was perfect for the two goals.
The third point is, of course, related to the first two – Arsenal’s made it simple for Spurs, who didn’t need to play their best football to win.

At the end of the day, if Mourinho is coming back to the Premiership this summer and Abramovich is too stubborn to have him back, there's only one other place he's going......

Walcott was the only Arsenal player actively using his brain yesterday. He recognised the high line you were playing and adjusted his game. Everyone else on the Arsenal team seemed to think it was some sort of possession game when it was more centred around breaking vertically and with speed.
Didnt agree with Sol on MotD about Walcott. Central, direct running does not equate with an "excellent game". He did make runs yes, but he wasn't pulling defenders with him and all of his runs started in front if the defence and not off the shoulder so he was easy to track.
Other than stare at the ceiling, I thought he was ok.
