Sunday’s win over Tottenham Hotspur delivered some brilliant entertainment, much-needed relief for Arenal fans and a chance to smack Tottenham back into place.
But it also delivered a ton of really interesting facts, stats, oddness and idiots in the media.
Here are 8 bits of awesomeness, wtfness and hahahaness that caught my eye as I made my way around the interweb today:

If you think the term ‘Spursy’ means to fall apart when it’s all going your way, then you’d be right.
No other team in the Premier League has lost from a winning position than Spurs have to Arsenal.
