Contrary to what you and your arrogant fans may believe, there isn’t much between Spurs and Arsenal at the moment.
===========
When we get our full squad back and they had few games, then you'll see the diff between the two clubs
Beating small clubs and yet to get any injuries to your main players
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your full squad? You got your top striker playing, your top creative midfielder, your top cb all playing. Not being funny but apart from alli who on his day is a quality player, who else are you missing?.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We are missing Vertonghen and Rose too. Vert has arguably been our best CB the past season or so, and Rose was coming into some good form prior to his injury, and we know that when he's at his best he's one of the best RBs in the league, whereas Davies has been poor this season so far.
Arsenal do look good though, and this is the closest in quality that the two teams have been in a while.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rose has been in an out, there have been times he’s even been sub. Il give you Vert although alderwierld is is probs your best defender talking to my Spurs mates. Most of your big guns are in, don’t think you can use your squad as an argument at the mo. Think you fellow fan is reaching, spurs are a quality side tho as much as it pains me to say it. It will be tight til the end, hoping we can drag a few more sides into 3rd and 4th fight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rose was playing well before he got injured. Much more like his old self.
I would say many consider Toby to be overall the better CB but in the past couple of seasons Vert has been excellent and has possibly outperformed Toby in that time. He's played more for one thing. Plus Toby had that crucial mistake midweek which doesn't help his cause.
Obviously winning 11 in a row means you're a very strong team right now. We had 11 in a row back when we reached 86 points 2 seasons ago, so I expect you'll be well up there. That said a lot of these teams at the bottom of the table are currently dreadful.
Hoody...I did miss the West Ham game but for me the spurs and PSG were more professional than free flowing play
That’s just my expert opinion
Watching Arsenal here and don’t really know what to make of them - they have some top players and could be a real force but could easy fall out the top 5
Stop Auba, Lacazette and Ozil isolating players they aint great imo.
Soòoo....there we go. Palace Vs Arsenal and exactly what i was saying....WIDE OPEN.
Xhaka..Leichtenstein..Ramsey..Chambers...Ozil...no pace at all. Mane and Salah Vs arsenals defence....yes please very much!!

Arsenal are just punching way above where they should be
Other than front two, the rest are bang average
They won't like Liverpool pressing them from the off and constantly and will give away silly goals
They've been very fortunate in so many of their wins, the luck will run out soon
They are about to meet a genuinely top 4 side next and that is something they fail at
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not trying to be funny, but what have Spurs shown this season exactly apart from disappointing their fans when it matters? Failed to beat a subpar PSV side & got beaten by a mediocre Inter Milan team in Europe. You then crumbled against Watford and got absolutely annihilated by Liverpool. A 2-1 win for them was definitely not a reflection of how that game went.
Contrary to what you and your arrogant fans may believe, there isn’t much between Spurs and Arsenal at the moment. And I can guarantee you there won’t be much difference separating the sides by the end of the season.
For all this talk of you guys being far superior to us, there’s been very little evidence of it so far.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs have been absolutely decomated by injuries this season. Had to use three goalies, plus what I consider the best two full backs missing Aurier and Rose, best central defender Vertonghen missing. Best midfielder missing, Eriksen, plus Ali and Dembele, and other injuries to players like Lamela and Winks. They have had an absolutely disastrous injury list all season. Yet still only sit a bit of the top. Get all the key players back in the next month, and it will make a massive difference.

Firstly what is a Spurs fan laughing at?
Secondly I don’t think Sandy can count.
Apart from the second half against Leicester whenever I’ve watched Arsenal this season I’ve not been impressed.
Shocking at the back, I’m amazed they haven’t conceded more goals. They’ll qualify for the Europa League though.
When Bellarin is your best defender you'll always concede
Good thing he isn't our best defender then isn't it?
Can’t believe Arsenal have conceded 13 goals so far. Yeah they had 2 hard games to start with but the fixtures have been kind in the following 8.
With Salah & Mane coming into a bit of form we should be able to put a few past them.
Just for the sake of banter who is?
Would not take any one of their defenders. Their mid and attack is good though.

Oh
On a roll...., or rolling-over. LOL..
Arsenal are great going forward, extremely vulnerable in defence. Two fantastic centre forwards who will score them a bundle of goals. They are akin to us in 13/14 under Rodgers.
A poor defence will always catch up you though and that's why they can't win the league. I have them down for top four though.
When ur d3fence is poor u draw too many games....add in a por mf and u will struggle eventually.
Arsenal will drop loads of away points.

Sorry, had something else I had to do.
Sokratis and Holding have both been impressive this season. Which might sound odd given the lack of clean sheets, but a lot of the goals we’ve conceded have been due to our fullbacks being out of position or midfielder not tracking their runners.
At the end of the day, people need to remember that this is still Wenger’s squad by and large. These are still his players. This is still a work in progress. And the Palace game is a classic example of a game we would have lost had we performed anywhere close to that last season.
Fair enough, you watch them more than me but Bellerin has so much higher a ceiling than those two. I probably should have been clearer too and said best player. Got to say neither Sokratis nor Holding would get in any other top six side imo.
You were unlucky today though. Palace are made to test your vulnerabilities. Thought youd create more than you did though and I think Emery shouldhave put another in midfield rather than start Auba and Lacazette.
Should be a good game next week.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
One draw all season
Hmmm, I think you could possibly make a case of either of them being better players than Lovren, Smalling and Jones IMO. But I agree neither of them are top, top quality centre-halves (though I do have hopes for Holding to continue his improvement for many seasons to come. He's only just turned 23).
As for the Palace game, personally, I thought Palace should have won that game comfortably. That was our worst performance of the season. We were very lucky to have got a point from that. That being said, we have played 3 games in 6 days, and I think fatigue played its part as the game wore on. There's been very little rotation to our core performers.
I've also just seen that we've had the most individual errors leading to goals this season, alongside Fulham. And that we've faced 140 shots from opposition players, in comparison to Liverpool's 80.
We need to buck up our ideas defensively and fast because we can't continue conceding chances like this.
Unfortunately I think Liverpool will beat us next week, but I'm hoping we can get positive results from the Tottenham and Man United games coming in the next month or so.
Key words...."eventually" and "season"....guess you miseed that though eh fella
