Hi all, we finally got a convincing win, and over the Gooners. Is this our turning point, or just a blip on the road to disaster? I almost didn’t get to see the game… and then there was the alcohol… which can help, and at the same time, be a hindrance. But if it makes one see better (when watching Spurs) then who am I to argue?

We have three games left (Newcastle (a), Leicester City (h) and then the final game of the season, away to Palace). With City managing to overturn their ban, we are going to struggle to get into the Europea League. But some will say that that isn’t a bad thing and we can spend next season rebuilding. Best Regards, Glenn. Thanks
Extracts of my blog:
Well, that was something we needed… and against the Arse… sorry, Arsenal (ok, I am not sorry). I hope this is now a climb up the ladder? I accept it is too late for this season (maybe a Europea League place), but next season will be the deciding season for Mourinho and his team. And of course for Levy, if he wants the riches of a Champions League place (then he must invest in the side).
Toby Alderweireld, along with Son, on the night were our heroes. It was the late header by Toby that gave us a victory over our North London opponents and sneak thieves who are squatting on our turf.
Before preparing my computer for the game, I made myself a Pot Noodle (yes, the great skill of pouring kettled water – hot – into the pot, it takes skill) and a glass of Lager (notice the switch from wine to a pint… or pints). Then went upstairs… suddenly we had a power cut. Shit! But it lasted a few minutes… (thank God for that!) Back to preparing… then, just as quickly… another power cut in quick succession. This time my power didn’t come back on until half time. Yes, I missed the entire bloody-first half. I did switch to my iPhone/ Radio, but the signal was weak, and I didn’t get anything… I had no other choice but to go downstairs to read a book… At five-fifteen, the power came back on (hurray! At last)… I rushed upstairs – with my Pot Noodle and a Lager – and sat comfortably for the second half. With fingers crossed! At the same time as eating and drinking (yes, it’s a gift! I am a person of many talents, none any good, but talents nevertheless).
Of course, watching it on TV and no crowds creates a spooky feeling, as it did with all the lockdown games (can’t wait until we get back to normality). Even more so with our vast Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, nevertheless, this was still a ferociously -competitive derby in the custom of our great rivalry as we both battled for a place in Europe next season. That is Europa League… which is something Arsenal are more used to than us, I might add.
The Gooners took the lead after 16 minutes when Alexandre Lacazette’s shot past Hugo Lloris and into the net. But we were level within three minutes when Son took advantage of bad defending by Sead Kolasinac and David Luiz to score with an excellent chip. We had equalised. Unfortunately, I didn’t see it; however, I did see it in the highlights. But the rest, no problem… I did, though, keep popping to the kitchen to be topped up with Lager (and adding a tin of Tuna into my pot noodle… to make it go longer)….
