Time for rivals to show some table manners

THERE’S rarely been a more convincing argument for returning to the days when they didn’t bother producing a table until six games in, than the laughable image of our friends from the wrong end of the Seven Sisters Road crowing from the Premier League’s top perch.

I can’t seriously envisage a threat to our humble title of top North London dog. You need only look at the midweek fixtures for undisputable evidence of the two clubs differing status.

As the Arsenal trot out in front of 60,000 fans and a worldwide TV audience of millions to take on Celtic in the return leg of our Champions League clash this evening, Spurs will be appearing at the Keepmoat Stadium, in a slightly less glamorous Carling Cup encounter against Doncaster!
