First, I’ll start off with a massively essential plug, calling on any Brisbane Arsenal fans out there to get to the Pig and Whistle on Eagle Street tonight. We need all the numbers we can get to make it as memorable a night as possible.

We all know that well-worn saying, “Let’s all laugh at Tottenham.” For a glorious streak of 19 league games, that’s been the case against our poorer cousins down the road.
