We needed to stem the bleeding. If you’d have told me we’d get a point before the match I would’ve be disappointed, but given the second half and some of the tactical decisions, I’m just glad we’re still 4 points clear of 4th after that.Don't underestimate how much a draw like that in a North London Derby could really do to galvanise this lot. That'll feel like a win for the players (even though they should also be disappointed with the 90 minutes as a whole) - big game against Dortmund in the week. Games coming thick and fast and then they get a 3 weeks rest.
Top four is in our hands. Our fixtures aren't any harder than those around us.
Sanchez is our record signing, and I expect better. Rio's right-this is happening too often.
The undrawables dream is over.
But fuck me, that could have been a lot lot worse.
Felt like we’ve had a run of misfortune that last couple matches, so maybe a bit of luck was due. Today we just gave up big gross chances on the counter. Verts is our only CB I trust at the moment.The media are all outraged at the injustice of it all. And they are right, we didn't deserve the point. But fuck them all, we've had our share of bullshit already, we'll take this one without losing much sleep.
Big boost before Tuesday.
Can you fucking imagine the narrative over the next three days if that penalty had gone in?
If the Chavs win their 2 games in hand, won't they be breathing down our necks?Back down to 5th they go when Man Utd win later.
And down to 6th when Chelsea win their 2 games in hand.

It's just how utterly shite Woolwich are that leaves such a bitter taste. Such a massive opportunity missed to give them a real hiding.
So deflating.
Our only draw of the season against these cunts.
I will take it though honestly, 1 point is better than none but man, we were utterly shocking today until the final 10 mins.
