Tottenham Hotspur are having a great season and are still in the running for the Premier League title. The North London outfit are only four points behind leaders Chelsea in second spot.

As for Arsenal, the Gunners have no chance whatsoever of catching the Blues and may not even end up in the top four of the Premier League.

For the first time since Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal, the Gunners look set to finish below Tottenham in the Premier League table.

While Spurs fans must be delighted with this achievement, manager Mauricio Pochettino does not seem to be too fussed about it.

The Argentine boss has told Sky Sports that he is not concerned about Tottenham finishing above Arsenal in the Premier League table.

West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has given her taken on Pochettino’s comments in her football diary in The Sun.

“Mauricio Pochettino hasn’t been around Seven Sisters Road long enough to realise what being cock of North London means to fans,” Brady wrote in her football diary in The Sun.

“I was born in the area so I know there is nothing Arsenal people enjoy quite like finishing ahead of Spurs in the league.

“Seems such a minor achievement to a manager from Argentina with eyes on the title and a place in the Champions League.

“But Spurs have been second-best for 22 years. Overturning that run on Sunday would give their fans back a bit of mickey.”

Tottenham will return to action on Sunday evening when they take on Arsenal at White Hart Lane in the North London derby.

Spurs will head into the Premier League game as favourites, and it is hard to see them drop all three points.
