Spurs have good reason to be happy

Spurs fans for a very long time have not tasted success in English football and time and again, year after year have been second best in North London. The Arsenal faithful have also mockingly created St Totteringham's day, a day to commemorate their city rivals no longer able to catch them in the league.

The last time the Lilywhites finished above Arsenal was in the 1994–95 Premier League season, when they finished 7th and the Gunners finished a lowly 12th.

But, it is now the Spurs’ fans who can pile on the misery on the Gunners’ fans; Tottenham fans seem to be the happier of the two as they have an exciting team with a very good manager and are on the up, while Arsenal fans have vociferously voiced their concern over their manager’s future and have floundered in the league and in Europe.

The tables seem to have well and truly turned and Arsenal’s current situation mirrors that of the Spurs. It is ironic that the Gunners’ current predicament is similar to the Tottenham of yesteryear – manager under pressure, fans’ displeasure and the unlikeliness of winning anything.
