Tactics Tim strikes again
It was another North London Derby for the ages.
Arsenal vs Tottenham games rarely disappoint, but Sunday afternoon gave us another fantastic 90 minutes of entertainment. It has it all: six goals, two penalties, a red card, a mass brawl…
Patrick Aubameyang put the Gunners 1-0 up after ten minutes, but it looked like it would be Spurs’ day after they got two goals in four minutes to take the lead into half time.
However, the red side of North London would go on to have the last laugh, scoring three in the second half to win 4-2.
Any North London Derby has a lot at stake in terms of bragging rights, and they’ll be a lot of Spurs fans not looking forward to the stick they’ll get on Monday morning.
But spare a thought for former Totttenham boss Tim Sherwood. On Sky Sports The Debate, both him and Paul Merson picked their North London combined XIs.

Yup, that right. He picked absolutely no Arsenal players, only members of the Tottenham squad.
He even said it would be a “major shock” for Arsenal to win the game.

Understandably, after today’s result, it doesn’t make old Tactics Tim look that smart.
Arsenal fans in particular are having a ball with it.

Tim Sherwood was appointed as Tottenham Hotspur assistant first team coach in 2008, under Harry Redknapp, and became technical director in 2012.
He was then appointed manager of the club following the departure of André Villas-Boas in December 2013. However, he didn’t have the best time in charge at White Hart Lane and was sacked by Daniel Levy in May 2014.
