TERRACE TALK: Arsenal - Maybe, just maybe, it’s not over ‘til it’s over

For pretty much my entire adult life, I’ve been able to tease my Spurs mates that the world continues to turn on its axis, so long as their greatest satisfaction was the Gunners’ misfortune.

Yet after last week, when I sat watching England, mainly in the hope of seeing one of the many Spurs players pick up a knock, and Saturday’s games, where seemingly like most Gooners, I was far more excited about the prospect of Spurs dropping points at Anfield than our own humbling of the Hornets, suddenly it feels like the shoe is finally on the other foot.

It is this ultimate ignominy that is most likely to cost Arsene his remaining credit among us Gooners, especially those of us who live in North London, and have to suffer the daily barbs of our bullish neighbours. If the Gunners can turn things around and, at the very least, restore the North London status quo before the end of the season, I wonder if this will be sufficient for Le Gaffer to get the majority back on side?
