Conclusions drawn from the derby...

THEY acted like they had won the cup, league, Champions League all at once and scored a date with Natalie Imbruglia (please write back Nat, I’ve name-checked you eight times this season) and found out its chips for dinner, spilling over onto the pitch and crying with delight.

For a moment, I thought the Spurs fans might even try their old Seville chair-throwing dance again such was the excitement that met Jermaine Jenas’s last-minute equaliser against Arsenal on Saturday. You lot should be ashamed of yourselves.
Jeeeeez. Imagine being that excited about getting a draw. Imagine wallowing in your inadequacy to such a degree, celebrating the fact that for the EIGHTEENTH time in a row you’ve failed to beat your biggest rivals.
So, here’s a guessing game. What will come first: the London Olympics, man walking on Mars, my marriage to Natalie, the turn of the next century or a Spurs win against Arsenal?
It’s a tricky one.]

LIKE most Gooners, the Queen was not amused after the north London derby.
Like most Gooners, she dashed off a string of crowing texts with seconds remaining. And like most Gooners after Jermaine Genius’s richly deserved

equaliser, she wished she hadn’t bothered. Apparently.
Still, no wonder Gooners are acting like they’ve been bitten on the bum by a corgi. It was awards time again and like Arsenal players in the England team, there was barely a Gunner in sight.
To see Cesc Fabulous beaten in the PFA awards by that fella who runs around like a reject from a student production of Riverdance is plain wrong.
Don’t the voters see how he rose from his sickbed to help you salvage one valuable point as you were outplayed at White Hart Lane?
Apparently not. Good job Cesc has had so much practice at accepting failure with a smile this season. He’s certainly needed it.
