They say that no matter how bad you feel, there is always someone else worse-off. After the week that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have had, you cannot argue with that logic.

Draw at Manchester City and Arsenal should humble Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea
Good afternoon gang. A week of expectation that started last Saturday has now finished, and just like after your trip to the dentist’s, it has left a nasty taste in the mouth.
