Tottenham Terrace Talk: a derby date with Arsenal's destiny

For Tottenham fans, it's a football conundrum writ large. Can you really be a fan if you want your team to lose? Can you really be a Spurs fan if you are happy to hand Arsenal the title?

ANGE BALL: Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has achieved remarkable things

Given all that is happening in football at the moment, it’s something of a relief to eagerly anticipate a match for purely sporting reasons. Although use of the words 'eagerly' and 'sporting' may raise eyebrows given the tension and heat of the rivalry between the teams competing in Sunday's North London Derby.

This is a game that has been on the minds of both sets of supporters for some weeks, and not just because of all the normal derby rivalry detail. Arsenal are in the running for the Premier League title, and putting an almighty dent in their ambitions will add to the delight any positive result brings Spurs fans.
