Tottenham fans will NOT like Mauricio Pochettino comments ahead of Arsenal clash
TOTTENHAM manager Mauricio Pochettino believes everyone at the club should be happy with their position ahead of the north London derby against Arsenal on Saturday.
Despite the gloom around the club as their title push falters, Pochettino remains positive and reckons most people would taken their current position has they been offered it at the start of August.
“Everyone from the beginning of the season should be satisfied with that position before playing on Saturday,” he said.
“With the possibility of playing against Arsenal at Wembley with the gap at four points, the pressure is on them, not only us."
Things became heated earlier in the season when the two sides met at the Emirates, with Arsenal running out 4-2 winners.

Players from both sides clashed on the sidelines after Eric Dier made it 1-1, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a banana skin thrown at him from the Spurs end.
But Pochettino has played down the derby day hype, insisting every game is treated with the same seriousness.
“Today Chelsea and Arsenal are the same level in terms of rivalry,” he added.
