The other difference is Spurs have a manager with a proven long term track record while Arsenal have gone for someone largly untried at the highest level.

Spurs also 3rd highest scorers, hardly what you could call ‘boring’.;)

Another table we're not bottom of.

Fancy swapping Steve Bruce for Arteta?

Yes because they sit back and wait for teams to leave gaps in their defence for Son and Kane to exploit. Spurs never dominant a match and always have the lesser possession. As Graeme Souness said on Sky the spurs fans are happy with the situation at present because they sit at the top of the league.Watch what happens when it all starts to collapse like it did at Mourinio led Man its and Chelsea. I'm not a Spurs hater in any way but I do detest Mourinio's style of football as successful as it's clearly been.

https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/S...land-Tottenham

According to this site, they had possession in their Premier League matches of 50.1% of the time.

And this one says 51.5%

I agree with you and I guess that's why most Spurs fans are happy at present

Watching Arsenal v Burnley on TV and Leicester v Brighton on Prime on my ipad. Have to say that picture quality on the ipad is quite good.

. . . and the merry-go-round of managers continues :rolleyes:

or maybe it's football monopoly?

Win promotion to the top flight . . 'advance to Park Lane, collect £25million'

Draw with Man City . . 'go directly to Kings Cross Station and bugger off'

:D'

Den, can I ask a favour?

Could you not just post a link with a cryptic comment, please?

Just post (at least) the headline in quotes, to give people an idea if they want to click through.
