I'd probably take one of their defenders instead of Mertesacker.
Maybe Eric Dier might, with Croq cocked
But I do find it a little strange how excited everyone is about just how marvellous Tottenham are. Given that the reaction to us being 2 points clear at the top of the league, (6 points clear of Spurs, indeed) is little more than a grudging ackonledgement that Ozil is quite a decent player and the mealy-mouthed contention that we simply MUST win it this season because all the rest won't be so **** ever again, it's odd that both Arsenal fans and the media seem obsessed with how f**king great Tottenham are. I suppose in the case of our fans, it's to do with that self-hating refusal to ever allow us any credit for anything - as for the media, I couldn't say.
How come they're not top of the league, then?
