Arsenal own the North London bragging rights (again!)

The Arsenal can lord it over the boys from N17 yet again. The 1-0 win courtesy of a brilliant goal by the erratic José Antonio Reyes was another three points to securing the second automatic qualifying spot for Uefa Champions League. What is surprising is that it's the first time in nigh on16 years that The Arsenal have done the double over our 'rivals'. So make sure your Sp*rs mates know that fact.

The Arsenal could and perhaps should of taken the lead as early as the first minute when Reyes broke clear of the Sp*rs defence but elected to hit the side netting - just to give them some hope. Well a bit of a scare moments later by their midget centre forward Jermaine Defoe when our defence gifted him a shot (their only one on target all game) - that was about as near as they got to The Arsenal goal.

The Arsenal made just the one change to set up which drew 0-0 against The Bank of Chelsea, with Lord van Persie coming in for DB10. Sol 'The Rock' Campbell who has been told by Saint Wenger he has to fight for his place was keeping the bench warm again against his old employers.

Reyes who was (over) due a goal put matters right in the 22nd minute when he beat the offside trap and shot brilliantly and beat Yorkshireman Robinson - lifting Highbury into a frenzy. That's about as good as it got, there were a few chances and a lot of 'ooooooh' moments but they didn't go in, so that's that. When Sp*rs tried to make a game of it with The Arsenal tiring Edu and DB10 came on for Fabregas and Lord van Persie, late on Man of the Match Reyes was replaced by Jeremie Ali-Ali-Dere and got a stand ing ovation - which is nice.

So once again The Arsenal are kings of the capital - taking all six points and doing the double over our fierce rivals this season - cheers easy, see you next season.

It's a load of nonsense say Shrewsbury

'Allegedly' The Arsenal are after Shrewsbury Town goalie Joe Hart, (yep never heard of him here either). However, Shrewsbury Town have played down speculation linking their young goalkeeper with The Arsenal.

The Gunners are said to be keen on the 18-year-old shot-stopper, who has recently broke into the first team at Gay Meadow (no immature laughing boys). However, talk of Arsenal inviting Hart for a trial are wide of the mark, according to Town boss Gary Peters. "That's absolute nonsense," said Peters. See we told you.

More players linked (must be a slow week)

Paris Saint Germain midfielder Modeste M'Bami says he has heard about interest from Arsenal and Lyon. The combative Cameroon international is slowly coming back to full fitness after breaking his leg in the autumn.

" I heard about Lyon and Arsenal but I can't really talk about it or unveil what happens around me". So that's why he is plastered all round the media talking about a 'possible' move. The Bank of Chelsea were supposedly eyeing him up during the January sales - well him and about fifty other players.

Who's been a naughty boy then?

Just when you think The Arsenal have got rid of one tearaway another comes up to replace him. Dr Quincy of Owusu-Abeyie was arrested after the PFA Awards on Sunday night. It's not known the reason behind the arrest apart from a 'bit' of fighting. No one officially from the club have made a comment yet but as soon as they do we'll copy it - we mean report it here. However reports  that the Dutch youngster took matters into his own hand s because Thierry Henry didn't win the award for an unprecedented third time are well wide of the mark.

Lauren - what elbow?

Our brilliant right back Ralph 'The Prizefighter' Lauren has denied he threw an elbow at some Sp*rs tart in our North London bragging rights, 1-0, done the double and getting six points out of them this season game last night. Lauren said there was nothing sinister in the act.

An always what with the Manure sponsored FA on hand , Lauren must wait to discover whether video replays of the second-half incident get shown etc - in extra slow-mo in most cases with The Arsenal players.

However, the Arsenal full-back has already made it clear that he did not mean to injure the Sp*rs full-back, who collapsed to the ground like some big girl and even think we saw him cry a bit.

"It was just a normal challenge. Both players went for the same ball and it was a fair challenge, the kind that happens in every game, There was nothing sinister about it. It was accidental" Lauren told us exclusively before saying the same to The Evening Stand ard.
