if i'm reading a correct wiki, spurs have 1 prem win at The Emirates in '10, and 1 prem win at Highbury in '93.

the same wiki does not have a clean table for FA or League cup fixtures (semis/finals).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_London_derby

suffice to say a spurs win at arsenal is a historic occasion as in it very rarely happens.

You would get to add last year's league cup and that would be it.

 

Agreed.

I mean really, who didn't have Leicester and Crystal Palace behind Liverpool and City in their preseason top 4?

Hard to say as there was only one post in the prediction thread....

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Arsenal will finish between 4th and 6th

Leicester is here to stay.  Should definitely finish top 6.  And they've got a legit shot at Champions League.  That's a good squad.

I'd be pleased as punch if CP finished in the top half.

It fascinates me that Vardy went from being in the 3rd tier English Football to one of the most prolific strikers in the PL.

Unlike Southampton, Leicester have done a good job of managing the players desired by the Big 6 year by year and replacing them with really good new players

2016/2017 - Kante $40.81m

2017/2018 - Drinkwater $43.21m

2018/2019 - Mahrez $77.29m

2019/2020 - Maguire $99.18m

 

Of course, their owner has also been able to absorb them buying more than they sell to the tune of $116 million over the past 4 years.

I had posted on the Southampton thread, an update on Saints being able to ship out ALL our "undesireables" out on loan.

Here is a pretty interesting comprehensive team by team analysis of the deadwood still collecting a checks but not playing.

That's good stuff, Yoladu. Hard to believe ManU paid  £52m for Fred only to throw him in the bin.
I feel like Lovren for Liverpool will get playing time this season now that the transfer window is closed. 
Lovren and shaqiri should be in the squad for lower tier epl games and minor cups for sure to rest guys

Possibly even CL league if thats sorted before last 2 games

Ivan Gazidis leaves Arsenal and in one year were a completely different club. Summer signings early and often, and nearly all of our deadwood our the door. Such a strange feeling as an Arsenal fan. 

It's encouraging, but it needs to translate to results, or the minimal optimism that it has generated will quickly evaporate.

Britain’s richest man looked into buying Newcastle but felt that Mike Ashley was asking too much for the club.

Ashley is never gonna give them up but is always gonna let them down.

I’d probably respect him more if in the pregame before the next home match the big screen had “Newcastle fans, please watch for an important message from the owner” and then Rick rolled them. I’d die.
