Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville believes Ange Postecoglu’s Spurs could surpass Arsenal this season and Gunners fans are not happy.
Spurs In The Premier League This Season
Ange Postecoglu’s Spurs side currently sit in 5th place in the Premier League, level on points with their north London rivals Arsenal in 4th.
Despite sitting outside of the Champions League places, Postecoglu’s team have received plenty of plaudits this campaign for their aggressive high press and their attacking style of football.
Spurs started the Premier League in fine form, going unbeaten in their first 10 fixtures before emphatically losing 4-1 to Chelsea after going down to 9 men.
An injury crisis then continued to derail Tottenham’s season, but with players now returning to the fold, Spurs seem to be regaining some of their impressive early-season form.
🗣️Gary Neville: “If Tottenham keep their players fit, they are a certainty to finish in the top four and I think they can get to second and third.

Neville Believes Spurs Could Surpass Arsenal
Speaking following Spurs’ 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford, Neville said: “If they keep their players fit, they are a certainty to finish in the top four and I think they can get to second and third.
“With those players back, and if they can get through these next few weeks, I genuinely think they can be better than Arsenal and Liverpool this season.
“It might end up being a good draw in the FA Cup against Manchester City. Go out of that and concentrate completely on the league. But they do need to win a trophy.
“If he wins a trophy, great, but we know in the past when teams have had a really explosive season, they’re not usually in Europe or competitions.
“For Ange Postecoglou to get to second or third, which they could do if they have a clean run at it, would be something special.”
Arsenal Fans React To Neville’s Spurs Comments
Which mind? He has never had a brain, there is little twisted heart in his head that just hate Arsenal and Liverpool.
