Arsenal Claim 4th spot

Not only did Arsenal manage to make it to the final of the champions league, but they also snatched that elusive 4th place from poor Tottenham (my heart bleeds). However at this stage Spurs have written a letter to try and get there final league game at West Ham replayed.
I don't think this will happen, I would hope not.

It wasn't that long ago that Tottenham were scoring a contentious goal against Arsenal. with two Arsenal players on the floor after colliding with each other, Spurs manager Martin Jol saw the incident, Michael Carrick was contemplating putting the ball out of play (as is the standard honorable thing to do) but Mr Jol urged his player to play on and thus spurs scored with two Arsenal players out of position.

The Arsenal players were not badly injured, but Jol didn't know this, he didn't care and so his team got the goal he craved. If either of those two Arsenal players had been crocked would Jol have asked for the goal to be chalked off or the match replayed (as Arsenal themselves had done in the past in the FA cup against Sheffield united), I don't think so.

It was unfortunate that Spurs had ten players infected with food poisoning the night before the game (I wouldn't go back to that hotel in a hurry if I were you Dick Jol, They don't seem to have served you well).

Maybe this is just a case of what goes around comes around.

Who knows,
