"Panteli was identified on CCTV and Highbury Magistrates' Court heard that, after being detained by a steward, he said: "It wasn't a racial thing, it just happened."

I bet he goes around saying "I don't see race" and thinks Sterling should shut up and play football.

People discussing in the United thread when the question will be who will Spurs appoint?

Poch going to Utd would be disastrous for us, he'd keep Utd in the Top 4. Spurs could replace him with Jardim, and that'd be bad for us as well.

Tottenham cannot assume their new stadium will signal a north London power-shift






It was late in the second half on Wednesday night, after Alexandre Lacazette had scored Arsenal’s fifth in their demolition of Bournemouth, that the chant began to echo around the Emirates Stadium: “Tottenham Hotspur, we’re coming for you.”

The news of Chelsea’s win against Spurs had trickled across the capital, and the Arsenal supporters now knew that victory in Saturday's north London derby would take them within one point of their fiercest rivals and complete a nine-point swing in the space of just six days.

In truth, the song could just as easily be sung by the home fans at Wembley. This is the last north London derby before Tottenham open their new stadium and, on the surface at least, it is Spurs who are coming for Arsenal. The big question, however, is whether their financial progress off the pitch will be enough to trigger a new era of genuine success on it.

Arsenal are proof that a new home is no guarantee of on-field progress. Thirteen years after the Emirates was opened, Spurs are now having to lock themselves into the same financial straitjacket, knowing that it is the only way to create a more even playing field, in the long-term, against the biggest sides.

The comparisons between the Arsenal of 2006 and the Spurs of today are hard to ignore. Mauricio Pochettino has certainly seen the parallels, warning earlier this season that Spurs fans should expect a “tough” post-move period which will be similar to that experienced by Arsenal. The costs of the new £1billion stadium, with up to £637million borrowed from banks, will weigh on Spurs for years to come, inhibiting their spending and further increasing the importance of on-pitch success.


Arsenal endured a full seven years of relative austerity at the Emirates before Ivan Gazidis, the since-departed CEO, declared them ready to financially compete with the world’s wealthiest sides. That was in June 2013, three months before Arsenal spent £43million on Mesut Ozil to smash their club transfer record.

There are plenty of similarities between the two projects, not least the size of the arenas (Spurs will be able to seat 62,000 fans, compared to Arsenal’s 60,000), but the comparisons can only be taken so far. For all that Spurs have been able to learn from the building of the Emirates — and the journey that Arsenal have since taken — it will not have escaped Daniel Levy's attention that the footballing landscape has changed dramatically in the last 13 years.

In 2006, broadcast revenues were smaller, so the importance of matchday revenues, and the size of a stadium, was far greater than it is now. In Arsenal’s first season at the Emirates, matchday revenues of £91million made up more than half of their total revenue for the season. By comparison, matchday revenues of £99million last season made up only 25 per cent of their total revenue, according to the Deloitte Football Money League. The same applies to Spurs, whose matchday revenues in their final season at White Hart Lane were half the proportion of total revenue they were 10 years before.


Levy’s NFL deal and the various commercial opportunities of the redeveloped stadium will have their own financial impact, of course, and there is much more to the new ground than just matchday revenues. But it remains instructive to look at the scale of the change, and to wonder what might happen next.

“It is almost like a completely different era of football compared to when Arsenal moved to the Emirates,” says Simon Chadwick, a professor of sports enterprise at the University of Salford, who adds that uncertainty over future broadcast deals only contributes to the “risk factor”.

A more underlying concern, though, will be that top-level football is morphing into a world where shrewd operating, impressive stadia and canny commercial deals no longer provide the same competitive advantage. Arsenal and Spurs are well run clubs, from a business perspective, but they are operating under restrictions that are simply not shared by the likes of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

When Arsenal moved to the Emirates, they believed it would provide a platform that would allow them to compete financially with the biggest boys in the playground. Their problem is that the biggest boys in the playground are now pumped full of Middle Eastern cash, and are much, much bigger. “These clubs are not being run according to rational economic principles, they are being run essentially for political purposes,” says Chadwick.

The market has been inflated and, all of a sudden, as Arsenal supporters will attest, a shrewdly-run business operation can appear pretty puny. For Spurs, the worry must surely be that this is the future which might await them once they shake off their stadium-induced financial constraints.

As they enter their new era, Spurs will be braced for short-term pain, especially if they lose Pochettino. And, as they will know when they look at the fate of their opponents this weekend, a new ground can help you reach the “next level” as a business, but that can be no guarantee of success in a changing world.

90 minutes.

In all of this, however, Mauricio Pochettino. Take a bow. Credit where credit's due.
