Szczesny: Spurs lack quality to pose threat

Wojciech Szczesny has reignited his war of words with Tottenham by claiming that Arsenal’s north London rivals do not have enough quality to finish in the top four this season.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham remain locked in a tight battle for the final two Champions League places after they all achieved 1-0 victories over the weekend.

Of the three, Tottenham appear the most likely to fail. Andre Villas-Boas’ men warmed up for their huge game in hand clash at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night by limping to a narrow win over Southampton courtesy of Gareth Bale’s 86th-minute strike.
