Terrace Talk Arsenal: Five-star display sets us up nicely for Tottenham derby

Spurs fans tweets backfire as Arsenal hit top form, writes Bernard Azulay.

With our goals against Villa shared out amongst five different scorers, the Arsenal Twitterati were retweeting, with sarcastic relish, the fateful words of a Spurs fan before yesterday’s game: “Hoping Alexis isn’t fit today so we can finally see just how big a one-man team Arsenal are!”

Still, I hope Alexis’ withdrawal was merely precautionary, as I’ve been teasing my Tottenham pals for weeks that our Chilean dynamo will be leaving their team for dead at White Hart Lane next Saturday.
