As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
"...many spurs fans will find this attitude objectionable (the piece is about spurs should aim for the league cup not top 4 and acnnot realistically expect or aim for top 4). They will point to the clubs magnificent history and argue - reasonably - they can rival the numbers and therefore amvition, of their north london rivals".
Wtf I'd he taliing about when he states magnificent history and that they can reasonably argue the numbers being comparitive to us.??? What a load of bollox. Its crap like this that makes their fans even more moronic and feeds their delusion of being a big club. They do not have a magnificent history, and are smaller in every repect by a distance to us. Mostnon arsenal non scum fans I know hate them for these delusions of grandeur.
Historically they are not a big club, and they never will be.
As Jimmy Greaves said in his autobiography, Arsenal are the bigger club.
Up until 1986, though Arsenal had clearly won many more league titles, it can be said that the fan base and the winning of a double apiece had both clubs within sight of each other in terms of "How big is our club?"
Both were members of the so-called "Big Five" of the time, neither had won a league title for over a decade, and both had lateral-thinking younger business brains who were shaking up the old guard boardrooms.
Then George Graham arrived, Arsene Wenger followed, and we left them trailing far far behind us in all respects.
