Bad news first, City has been catching up lately and are only 3 points behind us in the table. Though they have played a game more, you don’t want them breathing on your neck.
With years of experience of winning ‘titles’, Pep and his team knows how to handle themselves under pressure. We, on the other hand, have folded 3 seasons in a row and are trying not to repeat it one more time.
Now, the good news – it’s in OUR hand. We win against Brentford today and we will go back to a 6 points lead with only 12 games to play.
We have few injuries but we have enough bench strength to not to worry about it. Both Saka and Odegaard will be assessed before the game. Mikel Merino will be out for some time after his foot injury. Kai Havertz has picked up another injury I’ve heard and is a doubt for next 2 weeks (rumoured).
Back 4 is sorted, but the midfield is going to be a mess for Mikel. Rice and Zubimendi are starters, and he is left with only Eze to fill the spot. His favorites, Merino and Havertz are not available for selection while Odegaard is both out of form and half-fit for the games. Eze – it’s your time to shine man.
If you ask me, I would stick with the usual back 4 with a midfield of Rice + Zubimendi and Eze in an advance role. Madueke and Martinelli on either side with Gyokeres in the middle would be the front 3. You can pick Trossard over Madueke, I wouldn’t complain.
Every game from now onwards is a final. Carabao Cup is a literal one, but with City closing the gap, we have to make sure we don’t drop points in Premier League. We have a game in April against them at their home ground, and we surely won’t want to leave it to beating them at their home to win.
We are in the knockout stage of Champions League after winning all our group stage games. Every game would be a one to win to move forward.
But hey, if you can’t keep your head down for 2 months and beat the likes of City and PSG, you don’t expect to win a trophy.
Right, that’s me done. See you during the game.
Also, it’s sad to see Thomas Frank getting sacked. His Tottenham Legacy lives with us in the form of the cup.

A genuine question for you – what team / teams do you think are having a good season in the PL?
We’re about as strong as we can be bar personal preferences between a couple of players.
Fluky scouse cunts.
Goal disallowed – excellent.
If there’s a team capable of conceding a soft goal after immediately getting ahead it’s Arsenal. We’re fucking dominating them and need to show some more composure.
This Spurs team is fucking terrible – even their own fans think so
We’ve looked a bundle of nerves during the first half.
I can only believe this comes from the manager.
Guokeres 1-2
big time strike by our only real Striker…we should be smashing this injury-ravished side
We were lucky then – that was really soft.
that’s another embarassing flop even though it might have saved us from a second goal against
it saved us, not might
That should be game over.
The celebrations in the Technical area the Man U import leading the celebrations points to ElB is sidelined in tactics now ?
He looks like an accessory
Eze can’t help but score against this side…he should just have a go everytime he’s on the ball
let’s keep in mind that this should be a 3-2 scoreline
Spuds deploying their last resort – the kitchen sink Joelington
Have misspelt the hardware

Anyone could lip read Eze ?
Ufa
Very close to TRVL prediction
Raya claws it away off the line.
Like Allison was to Liverpool , Raya has been saving Arsenal
Think Xavi did an elaborate dink to take out Saka . That was calculated to do the knee
