Don't remember Arsenal being called out over a lack of goals.
So, it's not about goals scored, it's about league position. Are you saying that if spurs were in second place, there wouldn't be any talk about them struggling to score goals ?
So i was right then...
Ant, after last night, i'll happily put my hands up and concede that i was wrong...
