    GEORGE GRAHAM: FORGET ABOUT ARSENAL. SPURS ARE REAL ENTERTAINERS

    GEORGE GRAHAM has put the boot into Arsenal by declaring that the Gunners’ bitter rivals Spurs are the top flight’s best entertainers.

    In a damning verdict on Arsene Wenger’s men, Graham believes they not only remain far too ­fragile at the back but they also lack a ruthless, ­cutting edge up front.


    And, comparing the Gunners’ brand of attacking football with Tottenham’s swashbuckling approach, the former manager of both clubs reckons Harry Redknapp’s side are the true entertainers now.


    Highbury legend Graham said: “We all go on about Arsenal, their possession and all that but Spurs are really exciting to watch.


    “That’s because they have an end product to all that possession and beautiful play.


    “They have shots on goal and they have wonderful ­crosses coming from both flanks.


    “That’s makes them really exciting – and it’s something Arsenal still have to work on.


    “They’ve got to have more end product to all that passing and possession.”


    To make matters even worse for the red half of north London, Graham predicts that the Gunners will crash out of the Champions League against Barcelona but that Spurs will progress in the last eight at the expense of AC Milan.


    Graham, who bagged six trophies in nine years at the Arsenal helm, went on: “I think Spurs will win against AC Milan, I really do. On their day, they can beat anyone at home.


    “Facing Barcelona is going to be really difficult for Arsenal because Arsene Wenger (below) will just go for it.


    “There will be no tactics, there will be no Jose Mourinho there, keeping it tight and winning 1-0.


    “Arsenal don’t have time to implement a defensive strategy before then.


    “That doesn’t just happen overnight. It takes a whole season, if you work day in, day out on the training ground.


    “Arsene only believes in going forward. But Barcelona are the best team in La Liga and the best in Europe.”


    It is Wenger’s refusal to address the way that his current crop are all too easily bullied by the big guns which frustrates Graham the most.


    The Scot, 66, admitted: “I’d love to sit down with Arsene, one-on-one, and ask him what he thinks of his great side that went the season undefeated.


    “You look at the difference in technique, physical power and mental power.


    “They had a wonderful combination, which made them such a successful team.


    “Arsene had height in there, in Patrick Vieira, Emmanuel Petit, Tony Adams, Sol Campbell and Steve Bould and there was power throughout the team.


    “I cannot understand why he doesn’t try to replicate that now.

    “It just seems they have gone overboard with technical players and have forgotten about the other side of the game.”
