The Arsenal team this evening....

By Tony Attwood
It was deeply disappointing yesterday only to get a draw and not yet another win – but of course the memory will fade, and indeed even in the unbeaten season we had some draws that it is best to forget.
And of course there are headlines today such as “It’s so toxic at Spurs even West Ham were shocked,” remind us that thee are still things to smile about, even after a goalless draw. The Telegraph picked up on the Totts theme too with “Thomas Frank in crisis mode as Spurs fans turn en masse” That’s not actually something I want to see as I don’t actually like seeing Tottenham fans en masse, but I get the idea.
Even the Tottenham supporting Daily Mail go with “Thomas Frank’s Tottenham future is in DOUBT after toxic atmosphere during 2-1 home defeat by rivals West Ham – with hierarchy weighing up his fate amid Spurs fans’ calling for his sacking”.
I do LOVE the way that newsPAPER puts random WORDS in capitals for absolutely NO reason.
And of course, the thought of another managerial sacking down the Lane must be welcomed by all Arsenal fans, since we have seen through research that the chances of a new manager doing something better than the last one, are very limited. Yes, it happened at Arsenal with the departure of Emery, but even then, it took time (over one and a half seasons with us before we could clamber back into Europe).
Of course, the Daily Mirror breaks the trend by making Arsenal the headline with “Arsenal fail to punish Man City slip-up in drab Nottingham Forest draw – 5 talking points” as if we needed the Mirror to tell us what to talk about. They do actually get to the fact that, “The result means that chasers City have now gone four league games without a win,” but it takes them a long time to get there.
But we can still enjoy the table today… Here it is just showing London clubs…
.
…This is quite an improvement for Arsenal on the situation after 22 games last year – this season we have won three more, and drawn three fewer by this point and although we have scored three fewer, the defence has conceded four fewer. All told it means Arsenal have six points more than they did on reaching second position after 22 games a year ago.
But now we have a bit of a gap before the next league game as it is time to return to European matches with a game against Inter Milan away on Tuesday. And indeed it is interesting to look at Inter’s results of late by way of an initial prelude to the game..
