Spurs have been a slow starting team, and Arsenal a quick starter. We got two first half goals and made them stand up against a comeback-minded home squad that in truth did not deserve to get anything out of this game. Our midfield was dominant. The scoreline did not flatter the Gunners. This was one of those games in which the goalkeepers made a big difference. Ours was on it, but Lloris was not in top form. He made a few smart saves, but both the goals raised questions about his positioning and reaction time.
Everyone in a red-and-white shirt (and Ramsdale of course) did himself proud today. We moved the ball crisply and managed the game well after the two goal lead was established. A Spuds fan managed to kick Ramsdale in the back after the game, which will certainly mean we won't see that thug in Tottenham's place again, which will only make it even quieter. It's a squad that is not performing up to their talent level. Kane must be regretting not leaving for a better team years ago. He's one of the best strikers of his generation and has won nothing. Spurs have cashed in big time on Berbatov, Modric, and Bale over the years and wasted it all, and I have no doubt they'll blow the $120M they'd get for Kane too. But he's fastened himself to an anchor.
Well, that's another three points gained over City (beaten by Man U via a hilarious offside goal) and Spuds, meaning we're 8 points clear of our nearest rivals. We're still thin but if injuries don't wreck us we have a very good chance of winning the league. This victory, our first ever in this sradium, was huge.
Chelsea did what they usually do: see what player the better-run clubs are after, then offer $15M more and get him. Mudryk will be joining Felix, Pulisic, and the other overpaid bunch at Stamford Bridge. No way is he worth what they paid, as good as he is, so it's on to Plan B, whatever that is. I wonder if we can recall Balogun. It will be at least two months before we get Jesus on the field again.
