Oh how I laughed and laughed and celebrated when Arsenal capitulated against Newcastle on Monday night. I was forecasting a draw or a win for Arsenal but what unfolded was every Spurs fans dream. An easy 2 - 0 for Newcastle which had 
This is HUGE for Spurs for a number of reasons
- Financial aspect means at least 100 million is added o our coffers.
- Corporate finances mean we can sell more corporate tickets in our shiny new stadium. Wednesday and Saturday games are a whole lot more lucrative than Thursday - Sunday games. Important people need to be places Monday morning so Sunday games are not ideal.
- Players want to play in the Champions League. It is a major draw to seal the signature of the elite players. If there was a choice between Spurs , Utd and Arsenal now it will be Spurs that will sign the player. Champions League draw baby.
- Kane is definitely staying now. City now have Haaland, Madrid Mbappe , so unless PSG or Bayern want another Levandowski, he's staying put. Kane also knows Conte will be given a substantial war chest now which will be used properly this time. If we get rid of Los Celso for Pau Torres, take a cut price for Ndombele. Sell Carter Vickers to Celtic for 12 million. Get Winks out for 15- 20 million then all of a sudden Romero is paid for and we start with a clean slate.
- Conte will stay as he will be given the funds to get his own players in.
The game against Newcastle has really put Woolwich back dark ages. Arteta signed a new deal but they were toothless against Newcastle. They lacked discipline against us but the real joke is that if we played them back in February like it was planned they probably would have stuffed us because we were hopeless back then so karma really does come back to bite you when you have only one player with Covid and you call for the game to be cancelled. This was me all week by the way.

Arsenal spent 150 million last summer. Did they buy chairs? Because you can't really see it in their squad. They are still flakey. Go on a 7 game winning streak and then a 5 game losing streak.
But this really has hurt them. The atmosphere at the Spurs stadium the other night really got up them. I heard to make Spurs's tifo there had to be a sheet of paper on every seat tied up with an elastic. So there were around 20 thousand rubber bands used as weapons against one man last Thursday. Ramsdale was being hit left right and centre and if you looked beside him there were thousands of rubber bands on the ground. I thought that was funny.
So when I turned on the TV on Monday night and seen St James Park in similar jovial spirits , I just thought "Here we go". The magpies are not gonna leave their fans down on their last game of the season. And they came out of the blocks fighting. Arsenal could not handle them and Newcastle won easy in the end. They should of had more.
When Newcastle scored their second there were scenes in my house. The dog was swiftly awoken and as we danced around the living room. They bloody imploded. I knew they would. Memes and GIFs were flying. I annoyed
This was the best night of the year. We were back. Spurs were back in the big time .................. well unless we don't get 1 point against Norwich.
Surely not ...........................................Surely not.
It would be the most Spursy thing to ever ever happen if we were unable to draw with one of the worst teams in the history of the premiership but I will cast the fear and anxiety aside until 90 minutes this Sunday. It is not worth even comprehending this nightmarish scenario. For this week I am just laughing at Arsenal.
