Tottenham H changed their name, Newcastle is in danger, and Arsenal is still not right.
“We are extremely disappointed and extremely angry as well,”
Arteta stated bluntly on Saturday. “We never seemed to be at the necessary level,
and I bear a great deal of responsibility for that. We must examine ourselves in the mirror,
assessing our strengths, weaknesses, willpower, desires, and running and desired styles.
In the meantime, we learned that court documents in the $70 million lawsuit against the
chairman of Newcastle United had been served. He is being sued for “allegedly engaging in a
campaign with the’malicious intent to destroy’ the family of the state’s former ruler in collusion
with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.”
In additional humorous news, Tottenham has told—yes, INSTRUCTED—radio and television
stations not to call the team “Tottenham.” We are always pleased to comply with a different name,
so it won’t be a big concern for us. However, for the club, “Tottenham Hotspur” seems to be just as acceptable as “Spurs.”
The Athletic discovered this somewhat absurd practice of instructing broadcasters on which name to use in an email.
As someone who was born and raised in Tottenham, I have to say that,
when I lived there, right off the Wood Green end of White Hart Lane, it wasn’t a very pleasant
neighborhood (so undisturbed by the club lurking at the other end). The “club,” as it seems to still enjoy.
