Sp*rs look set for glory after making their best start to the season for 49 years, when they last won the title.
And in what does this fantastic start consist?
3 wins. A mere 35 matches now stand between ‘Arry’s boys and the championship. If you believe this sort of nonsense, they may as well hand out the medals on Monday morning.
Far from getting carried away about the “best start in 49 years” statistic, Sp*rs fans would do well to reflect on exactly how consistently bad your team has to be to fail to win 3 games in a row at the start of the season for 47 years in a row.
Don’t get me wrong, they look to have a reasonable side and Redknapp is a much better manager than they deserve, but we’ve seen good managers and promising teams before at White Hart Lane.
We’ve seen them promise much in big-spending summers, we’ve seen their fans getting miles ahead of themselves, and we’ve seen them collapsing into 9th place mediocrity. Time and time again.
Meanwhile the national media, alarmed to have their dire warnings of Arsenal’s inability to win any football matches without first spending lots of money made a mockery of, have outdone themselves. From Arsenal’s league total of 10 goals and six points, they have spun a negative story of some ingenuity – apparently none of our strikers will ever score again and we’re well and truly stuffed.
After all, it’s not how many you score that counts is it? It’s whether the goalscorers play in the right position.
What a lot of bollies.
