Let’s Still All Laugh At Tottenham!

To me it stings if you are an Arsenal fan, too

Why so?

I viewed it as a competitive gap, with a sporting disparity so big that they're not even viewed as serious rivals.

The type of team you can send your best wishes to, and know you're still a level above.

I get what you are saying but I don't view it this way at all. We'll never 'send them best wishes'. Best we can get to is indifference. As in: the derby remain the derby only in their minds and to us they become just another game, we stop thinking about St. Totteringham's, etc.

I don't think we are there yet or else we wouldn't have hoped for their relegation (nor enjoy the general downfall as much). I expect a fierce atmosphere at the next NLD.

With all of that in mind, I don't particularly enjoy knowing that our players partied with theirs.

This particular bit isn't really about us, though. It's about the relationship between Arsenal and Sp**s players, particularly after the season finished.

Most of these guys are friends with other players across the capital, which is nothing new. The only difference is that this season's gap was so big our lot can let their rivalry guard down.

Both respective teams wouldn't be as comfortable as reported if they were competing for the same honours.
