There are certain things I never thought I'd say.
"No, I don't want that next beer."
"I'm sorry, Miss Ratajkowski; I should really be heading home."
"Thank you, Tottenham."
But the last thing I want to do is to appear churlish after Spurs, by beating Chelsea last week preserved Arsenal's Premier League record of 14 consecutive wins. And I suppose I should also express my gratitude to Tottenham for keeping the title race alive when it had threatened to be stomped to death in one of Antonio Conte's triumphant sideline celebrations.
Let's not get carried away, though.
