Forces of Darkness held at the gates. Spurs, who dominated the game, came away from thier last Highbury game with a draw. A win would have been more satisfying and more deserving... but the consolation for the Gorse Fox is the fury of the whingeing Wenger. Gorse Fox relies on the BBC to explain:

Davids broke down the left and slid a perfect ball across for Keane to tap in at the far post.

As Keane celebrated, Arsenal's players took out their anger on Davids, who they felt should not have played on with Eboue lying injured in the centre circle after colliding with Gilberto.

And with the game threatening to boil over, Wenger and Spurs counterpart Martin Jol squared up on the touchline - and later refused to shake hands after the final whistle.

Now the Gorse Fox watched this incident and saw nothing untoward. Yes, a man was down... but with Arsenal's usual habit of falling down at the drop of a hat - who can tell whether a player is injured or just feigning as they usually do? The referee had already told Pires to get up several times when he had gone down. If it had been any other team, you would obviously suspect injury... but the Forces of Darkness spend so much time crying wolf that it seems perfectly reasonable to ignore it... even if you have seen it.

One final thought - what the hell are Arsenal doing in the English Premiership? When was the last time they had an English player in the team?
