A good time as any to start blogging (about Arsenal) again
Many people said before the match that Arsenal winning at Sp*rs was going to be too good to be true. Us winning will keep us near the top of the table, we would once and for all end the ludicrous notion of “Top Four Tottenham” (especially when it was supposed to be at the expense of The Arsenal), apply just enough pressure to get Martin Jol on his way and it would be our first away win of the season too.

The reality was actually better. 2 wonder goals (one a contender for goal of the season). Hilarious Sp*urs misses (would the game have been as good if they didn’t have and miss all those chances?). Liverpool and Chelsea both slipping up for Arsenal to go clear at the top. If only Man Utd had not scored their last minute winner, then it would have been the perfect weekend.
I quietly said to myself before the game that, if we were to win, then and only then would we be considered title challengers. It’s still far too early to say whether we will have a good chance to win the title or not, and we’ve had the fortune of a fairly good starting fixture list, but if we continue getting the results, in addition to the good things we did last season (for example, beating the top teams), then we’ll be in with a chance. And that, at this stage, is all we can ask for.
