Always seems to fall off towards the end of the season. I think managing the expectations at Arsenal was too much for him. He also had some personalities that he couldn’t seem to deal with. Villa seems like a good fit.

Know many Spurs fans do you? Quite a lot of my mates are Spurs fans, I certainly don’t sound like them. Nothing wrong in being disappointed, it was a great chance to lay down a marker today.

Quite aware, thanks. The question is, why? It happens every year and it can’t just be down to bad luck.

Can’t invest the money they have in building a deep squad and using injuries as an as an excuse this year. Either they’re buying the wrong players or there’s an issue with the medical team.
