And they threw coins at him while he was carried off with a torn ACL. Glad he flashed the 2-1 at them the ****s! Still makes my blood boil!Yep, the game when Theo taunted their fans after he got hurt.

I stand corrected!It was a 2-0 flash.
I think they are getting incredibly overrated. They had added a lot of players after Conte came in but still seem to be completely dependent on Son and especially Kane. Of course Richarlison may help in this respect but I think he is incredibly over rated himself and not sure how he fits into this Sp**s side.I do think Sp**s will probably finish above us again this season, sadly.
We have an exciting young team, but they have a more experienced/proven manager and forward line...bar a classic Conte meltdown, they are favs...they have been the better team than us, since about 2016.
But if you don't think it's funny how their best ever Prem period has resulted in no trophies so far, then I don't think you get how football fandom is supposed to work
When we finished above them for 20 years, we were by far a better team than them in that period...but if we won nothing in that time (with all the awards going to Yanited/Chelski for example) instead of the 10 trophies we did win, Sp**s would definitely have laughed at us...it's the name of the game.
Just wish our fans were a bit better than they are, tbh.
They haven't added anything that allows then to move away from their plan a or in fact allows them to break down deep blocks.I think they are getting incredibly overrated.

I think 3-6th spot is between Us, Sp**s, Chelsea and United and right now without any of these team shaving a clear advantage as of now(Maybe Utd are ever so slightly below the other 3 but the difference is very small IMO and upcoming signings may mitigate the disadvantage).

I have to say, even if we continue the form into the season I'd still consider them favourites when we meet them. With Conte, Son and Kane they are the biggest bane currently for pressing teams.
That said they also won't do as well overall as others expect them to.

From the official Arsenal v Sevilla Emirates Cup match programme...
Player profile section, Erik Lamela...
"A familiar face to Arsenal fans, Lamela spent 8 seasons as a Sp**s' player...His last game at The Emirates featured a remarkable rabona goal (which was later voted FIFA goal of the year) but also a red card in a 2-1 defeat for his team...now 30, the left footer has yet to win a trophy in his career"
People are underestimating Chelsea, they are the only team that can really push Liverpool/City otherwise it's a battle for 4th with Sp**s/Arsenal/Utd
Having said what I said I really don't get why pundits and opposition fans rate Sp**s that highly. Listening to some you'd think they'd end up just behind City and Liverpool in points.
They had an ok window and a meh pre-season (at best). I'm not disputing the they will be strong Top 4 candidates with Conte leading them, but I don't fully get where the hype comes from.
If you listen to them its because Conte, who they consider on par with Pep and Klopp, has had a full pre season with them and will now have a full season with them as well. On top of that, they have backed him and strengthened the team signficantly.
And how are they going to manage that? They have no reliable striker and their CBs are 1000 years old. Kante remains their most important player and his fitness is now more and more frequently in question. Liverpool and City are acres ahead of everyone else in squad depth and quality.People are underestimating Chelsea, they are the only team that can really push Liverpool/City otherwise it's a battle for 4th with Sp**s/Arsenal/Utd
