Mr. Smith said afterwards: "The result of my team's clash with our near neighbours was a true re- turn of the merits of both teams. The Arsenal, I venture to think, wore as satisfod as we were.

"I was impressed with the defen- sive ability of Arsonal backs and centre half, and had they been only a little loss capable throughout that epic struggle, our fast-moving, clever attack would have scored more than one goal."

"We formed a plan in attack and defonce to counter the schemes of our opponents and, in the main, my men carried out thoir instructions. Yet I was disappointed with certain features of our forward play: Oné forward did not render that as- sistance usually forthcoming from him and our front line therofore Jacked balance.
