Good one.Good result, and mentally having a winning streak like this is fantastic. Everyone'll be positive and not feel the injuries or tiredness as much.
Did AVB just have a little dig at Arsenal then?
What did he say?
Oh yeah? What he say?

Only just got home! But a great night had, best atmosphere all season so far. Non stop singing from the Park Lane and Shelf. Decent game too... Bit flat after the 1st goal but the last 20mins we were unplayable
Really happy with the win. This win not only puts us in the next round of Europa League but extends our winning run to 4 matches as well. You can't help but be delighted with that. Ofcourse, we could have won this match more comfortably but you cannot complain as long as we win matches. I think you have to get used to us winning matches ugly like this as we need more quality in the squad now. I think this win also proves that we can cope without Bale, even if it is for a short period.
I think AVB played his best available players except for Dembele. We probably would have done better had Dembele started. But can understand why we don't want to risk the injury-prone Dembele. It must be stated we scored the 2nd goal as soon as Dembele came on. Dembele is proving to be our lucky charm as we have won all the matches he has played for us. The inexperienced Carroll did well in the first half but went missing in the 2nd half. Not sure why AVB didn't start Hudd as he always seemed to do better in European matches.
Relieved to see Adebayor come back with a goal. Was worried he might do something silly again as he badly wanted to impress AVB. And it was nice to see him not wasting the one-on-one chance for a change. We should have got boosted by the goal but we got complacent at the start of the 2nd half. It almost proved costly as Panathinaikos not only equalised but almost took the lead. Nice to see Dempsey playing a major part in the win, involving in 2 goals. But I think he could have done better with the header for the 2nd goal. Fortunately for us, it bounced back into goal. That was a crucial moment and goal.
Really glad Defoe is continuing his goal run. I think it is good for us if he can extend his goal run further. Despite the win, I would have been disappointed had Defoe not scored. We need our strikers to be consistent goal scorers. But one thing I noticed, there seem to be some kind of "cold war" between Defoe and Adebayor as soon as Adebayor scored. Defoe seemed restless and agitated to score a goal himself after that. He should have done better with the chance which hit the goal post in the 2nd half. But it was a cool finish from Defoe for our 3rd goal.
It is great to continue our winning run. Hope we will get a favourable draw in the next round of EL. Let's hope we can continue this winning run against Everton in the league.
Almost.
Spurs have won every Premier League game in which Dembele has started though...
...and we're unbeaten in every game when Dembele has featured.
