ARSENAL fans have been taunting Tottenham over their “relegation form” – with Mauricio Pochettino’s side picking up just 15 points from their last 15 games.
Spurs struggled mightily at the back-end of 2018-19 and have carried that form over into this season – most-recently losing 1-0 at home to relegation-candidates Newcastle.
With the North London derby on the horizon, Arsenal fans took the opportunity to poke fun of their rivals on Twitter – despite being thumped by Liverpool in their last match.
One disgruntled Gooner wrote: “Pochettino hasn’t won an away game since January. He’s also just won 4 matches in his last 15.
“Yet Arsenal are the ones who get slated for poor away form and Spurs are labelled to be ‘on the rise’.”
Another added: “Spurs have won only 4 of their last 15 away games. But you won’t hear about that.”
A third simply posted, “Spurs has 4 wins in the last 15 PL games”, complete with a cry-laugh emoji.
One even called it “relegation form”, saying: “Spurs have low key been pretty poor in the league for most of 2019, since February really.
“15 points in their last 15 games: 8 defeats, 4 wins, 3 draws. That’s borderline relegation form.”
On the back of Tottenham’s seriously poor form, Arsenal legend Paul Merson has revealed he thinks his old club will “rip Spurs to shreds”.
Merson revealed: “I think Arsenal will win the game quite comfortably, 4-1.
“I think they will rip Tottenham to shreds. Spurs are struggling at the moment and if Arsenal get going then they could score a few.
“The Man City game has covered over the cracks at Spurs I think.”
The omens look bad for Spurs too, as they have won just ONE of their last 26 Premier league visits to Arsenal.
This came back in 2010 when they came from 2-0 down to triumph 3-2.
And while Mauricio Pochettino‘s side did beat the old enemy 2-0 in the Carabao Cup last season at the Emirates, Spurs have won consecutive away matches at Arsenal just once – in 1925 and 1926.
