#2 Spurs would have finished ahead of Arsenal in the league for the first time since 1994/95
The last time Spurs finished above Arsenal and avoided the infamous St. Totteringham’s Day was in the 1994/95 season when Jurgen Klinsmann led the club to 5th.
Arsenal, meanwhile, under a washed out George Graham stumbled to 12th.
It has been years of relentless pain for Spurs’ fans ever since, with the club coming ever so close to toppling the Gunners on quite a few occasions, but falling at the final hurdle. This was the case last season as well, where Spurs required a point on the final day to ensure 2nd place but ended up on the receiving side of a 5-1 drubbing against Newcastle.
This was just another day in the office for Arsene Wenger, however, who has the bragging rights over his North London neighbours, having never finished below them in his 20-year tenure.
With the Russian’s investments, though, there is no doubt whatsoever that Spurs would have usurped Arsenal for at least a season or 2, especially if they had retained a player of Bale’s calibre.
