As a bit of controversy.. How many of the Spurs XI would get into our current side ?

I'd probably take one of their defenders instead of Mertesacker.

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.

Maybe Eric Dier might, with Croq cocked

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

How come they're not top of the league, then?

Based on what exactly?

City are clearly the danger. But if we continue to perform like we have in the past 12 months we should win the league.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

there are just too many potential banana skins looming - we'll slip comically over a couple of them.

That doesn't make Spurs the Barcelona of north London, though.

[Pat Vegas]

Chelsea now to move right up the table. and Leicester to now start to slide.

Same again will do it Sir C imo. even though we lost 4 games. I can see City losing another 4 too

[Berni]

However, every time we've screwed up, so have our rivals, which is getting a bit weird.

[Pat Vegas]

If we are still top at the end of January we will win the league :hide:

[Pat Vegas]

[Pokster]

but I am not discounting them... Jan Tfrs could be important this year

Was eulogising about them this morning on Talk Sport. Alan Brazil was calling Ollie lazy and a big time Charlie. I like to swear on the way to work you see.

Could make a difference, Lots of pro Manu stuff on Sky and the media lately. Can't write them off.
