Former Tottenham man Garth Crooks admits he dreads the possibility of Arsenal winning the Premier League title, even though they look set to achieve that.
The Gunners have a good lead over Manchester City at the top of the table and we are entering the final few months of the season.
Mikel Arteta’s side had been expected to crumble all season but have continued to win games as City struggles with inconsistency.
Their recent win against Bournemouth was impressive and it earned Thomas Partey a place in Crooks’ Team of the Week on the BBC.
After naming the team, he added:
“I had Arsenal fans from as far as Nigeria and Dubai sending me copies of the footage in the middle of the night – punishing me, largely due to my association with Spurs, as they know how deep the rivalry goes between the two clubs.
Adding: “With every goal and victory celebration Arsenal are inching their way towards an elusive Premier League title. Meanwhile the prospect of them winning this thing is becoming unbearable. Is there no one who can save us from this perpetual agony?”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Winning the league would be a superb achievement for us, but other clubs’ fans dread the possibility of that happening.
For several seasons now, we haven’t even played in the Champions League, so no one expected us to win this title.
But the boys have done well so far and might be able to finish the season successfully.

Hope Arsenal torment them all the way until the end of the season and beyond. What is the rent cost for space in your head?
Really.Thats why var ,refs,linesmen,media,etc have all conspired to stop the gunners winning the epl.
Webb better check why Arsenal were denied a penalty and the os decision.
When these ate added,Arsenal could have lost at least 10 points
What a silly young person you are! A daft conspiracy theorist .
No Jon, unfortunately it’s not a conspiracy.
Most of VAR and refs decisions goes against Arsenal.
Even FA apologized 2 times for mistakes but did we get our points back -NO.
Just damn Lee Maison got fired but that doesn’t help us to get lost points back.
Spurs fans should worry about their club and have concerns for its lack of success, rather than being obseessed with Arsenal. It reminds me of people so concerned with living other people’s lives for them, they don’t have a life themselves.
