Arsene Wenger seems to think that the gap between Arsenal and Tottenham this season has just occurred overnight.

  • Spurs are 4 points off Chelsea at top
  • Have been well above Arsenal all season
  • Arsenal having one of the worst seasons in their history
  • Wenger believes ‘gap’ only happened in ‘final part’ of the season

Spurs have had the best season in their history.

They’ve lost just three Premier League matches and are four points off Chelsea at the top. It’s a position most Arsenal fans would kill for their team to be in.

In the space of three years, Mauricio Pochettino has turned a young, inexperienced squad into an organised group of title contenders without a huge amount of money.

Arsenal, on the other hand, no matter what way we look at it, having been struggling to make top four almost every season for the last decade.

The Gunners are having one of the worst seasons in their history and have been well below Spurs from more or less start to finish.

Wenger, however, seems to think this has only happened during the latter stages of the campaign.

“Look, whether I believe or not, the gap is there,” Wenger said after Spurs deservedly beat Arsenal 2-0 at White Hart Lane.

“That is often in the final part of the season, that can go one way or the other without really reflecting the difference between the teams. But I know it’s a good subject for the media.”

I love Wenger, but his head couldn’t be further in the sand.
