Nice friendly banter & the year does end in one you know...
So the north London derby brought a Spurs win over those Woolwich wanders. It is a game which brings with it bragging rights, but friendly banter. It also starts to signal a change as Spurs really are starting to return to the 'top four' of the football league.
It is a place that we have not been in for many decades, when under the management of Bill Nicholson and before the domination of european football in the 80's of Liverpool and 90's of Manchester UTD.
The victory, and the sense by Spurs fans that Arsenal are starting to go off the boil, which given that they haven't actually won anything for the past decade or so, brought with it lots of banter.
Lord Sugar tweeted that he let Piers Morgan (a big Arsenal fan) know the score, to which the response was "Tell your twitter mates that one battle doesn't win a war. We're still above you and always will be "
This was followed up with Piers offering a £1000 bet on who would finish above the other in the Premier League, which Lord Sugar accepted.
I also accepted a similar bet, although not for a £1000! Stephen Beynon and I will be having dinner in London and depending on whose team finishes above the other will depend on who gets the bill following this tweet: "@ralvin bet you a dinner at the London restaurant of the winner's choice that Arsenal finish above Spurs?"
I think that it will be tight, they might be above us this season, but this season is 2010-2011 i.e. the year ends in a '1' cue Chas & Dave to play us out...
