This past weekend, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal missed opportunities to improve their top four situations. Spurs failed to create a six-point buffer from their north London rival losing 1-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion; meanwhile, The Gunners also fell by the same score to Southampton.
Former Spurs man Jamie O’Hara has compared Tottenham and Arsenal to the Chuckle brothers. He added that two rivals had opened the door for Manchester United to take fourth place and the final UEFA Champions League.
O’Hara and co-host Laura Woods, an Arsenal supporter, also agreed on the two clubs’ inability to take advantage of their respective situations during a segment on talkSPORT.
“What are we doing?! What are Spurs doing? What are Arsenal doing? We’re both a shambles! “Does anyone want top four? I feel like this happens every season,” O’Hara said. “The worst thing that’s going to happen is that Man United are going to get fourth!”
“It’s like we’re holding the door open and saying, ‘You go’, ‘No, you go!’ And then Man United will just say, ‘Oh, go on then!’” Woods added.
As for Manchester United is not out of finishing in the top four despite dropping points over the last few weeks to Leicester City and Everton. Nonetheless, The Red Devils did squeak out a 3-2 win this past weekend against Norwich City.
They now sit three points back of Tottenham and have an upcoming matchup against Arsenal to create some distance.
ah!

Was not a real question. I thought your response to Judge was funny. Also these pundits have all the answers to the question after game. Hard to fail an open book exam.
“Our ground is superb” ……. Ha ha ha ……..GO ON THE JUDGE!
Not sure I understand the question?
Harry
I’m as East End you’re gonna find , I’ve supported Spurs for 7 decades now .
In all that time , its been a long hard road , I’ve never felt closer to winning that treasured title than RIGHT NOW .
I missed GREAVES & MACKAY at their very best , but have seen Hoddle , Ardiles , Chivers , Ginola et al.
Never have we had a player such as Harry , a true giant in world football at this time . Our ground is superb and we probably got the best manager in the world RIGHT NOW
Most of my life has been with that Spurs heartache throughout the years , waiting for times like this when we have a serious chance to emerge from the pack .
I ask you – if not now when ? Our biggest opportunity , am I alone thinking this cos I dont think so ?
I am aware of your cynicism , understand your frustration but thats the world of most football supporters surely ?
Go on , admit it , we do have a chance of improvement , if not why the hell do we do it ?
Got to admit – a good online Church gag …………………….!!
If people are going to listen to former players and pundits, and bloggers How come no one has contacted Harry H who has the pulse on the happenings at N17. Too funny, maybe he is “judge” of character.
Are you a minister of an online church? Genuine question…
O’Hara has a problem . As an ex Spurs man he feels like he has to show support , so his opinions always carry a mixed message .
Unfortunately he wants to convey support but because of his mistaken belief that he is a “pundit” , with a serious insight and observation of the game , he just blows with the wind – one moment the commited fan, the next a loud mouth rant as to his offering of what is going wrong .
This leads to him “always being right ” , his outbursts always coinciding with the result of the match he has just finished watching . His opinion always a confirmation of what we all have seen but never with a constructive message , always opposite – completely negative .
We enter a crucial time of the season , we need unity , we need constant support , now is our time — get behind them – without stabbing the back
