This week’s roundup also includes indoor athletics chaos, Leeds v West Brom infamy and Manasa Mataele brilliance
1) Tottenham v Arsenal approaches, so here’s a ransack of the archives for some of the choicest moments of pride/humiliation. One of Arsenal’s finest moments at White Hart Lane came at Christmas 40 years ago, with this seasonal shellacking and a Liam Brady masterclass: “Look at that, oh look at that!” Winning the title is a distant dream for Arsenal at the moment, but they’ve famously clinched it on their rivals’ patch twice – in the Double-winning year of 1971, and the “Invincibles” season of 2003-04. Of course, Spurs’ current “patch” remains Wembley, while their new stadium is unfinished, which of course was the venue for the sweetest of derby triumphs, the Paul Gascoigne-inspired FA Cup semi-final win in 1991. They enjoyed this cup drubbing 10 years ago, too.
2) Lots of people are good at rugby. Manasa Mataele is good at rugby backwards, and while falling over.
