What they’ve said
Arsene Wenger
"I saw Tottenham v Manchester United and you think (about) the difference between us and Manchester United when you see them play...," Wenger said.
"It was a fantastic opportunity (to win the league) this season. To catch Manchester United now is out of sight at the moment.
"We have to get closer to the people in front of us first before we can think that. Man United is far but there is no untouchable team in the country at the moment.
"It should not be difficult (to get in the top four) but it will be tough."

There's an awful lot of injury time being played...
posted on 11/6/13
Yeah it was because Dan Potts was down injured for a while
posted on 11/6/13
What happened to Potts btw? I was actually really scared for him during the game. Did he recover fully?
posted on 11/6/13
He's alright, must have just been badly knocked out.
He made the England u20 team for this summer. Or is it u19? I dont know

With only the West Ham team now on the pitch, our chances of scoring another goal to make it 5-3 are pretty good.

Depends if matt taylor is playing

Tomkins
Good to hear, few things frighten me like an on the pitch incident like that one. I am still traumatized because of the Eduardo incident.
