Arsenal’s thrilling 3-2 win over Manchester United on Sunday was the most productive in Premier League football. Two exciting groups faced each other in a bloody match, leaving everything on the pitch with fans and the maximum effort of each. the pores of a player.
These are two groups that have the wind in their sails, and it would be unexpected to see the old historic clubs fight for the most important honours and renew their bitter rivalry of the early 2000s in the near future.
Not so long ago, there was a similar positive feeling around Tottenham. They had built a world-class stadium, had a young and exciting team and had a hungry and charismatic coach like Mauricio Pochettino. They were streets ahead of their bitter north of London. Rivals and United, and seemed to be a fixture in the most sensible 4 for a while.
But compare the Spurs to the two now and it’s almost late and day. Because while Arsenal and United took a step back, tackled their messes and showed ambition, Tottenham threatens to stay after stalling and losing any long-term vision, and their supporters have any and all rights to feel furious about the promising scenario they seem to have wasted.
While Arsenal and United now have coaches in Mikel Arteta and Erik ten Hag respectively, who seem fully committed and extremely happy to be at their clubs, Spurs have one in Antonio Conte, who is fed up and probably fit to leave as soon as possible. The opportunity presents itself along which it is supported through the Board.
In fact, the Gunners and Red Devils also spent a lot to bring in the players their coaches obviously wanted. Tottenham, on the other hand, took shortcuts, missed big goals due to too long a delay and opposed Conte by bringing in Djed Spence. , whom the Italian very eloquently described as a “club signature”.
At Emirates and Old Trafford, there is a genuine sense that everyone is in the same boat, and that concord and team spirit can lead to both having an incredibly exciting future. However, at Tottenham there is a split in the fan base, several key players like Harry Kane are probably looking at the exit door and some other season is dangerously close to being cancelled ahead of a painful rebuild, one Pochettino warned should come 4 years ago after the Champions League final.
It will be attractive to see the atmosphere at Craven Cottage tonight if Spurs, as they do regularly, lose 1-0 to Fulham. It was telling that, while outside the Emirates Stadium may have turned toxic, Arsenal enthusiasts roared. on his side when Marcus Rashford’s goal for United fell on Sunday. The moment said it all about the confidence running through the veins of everyone who was associated with the Gunners at the time.
It was like that at Spurs not too long ago. And that is why the existing good fortune of your old enemy will hurt even more than usual.
