"Arsenal, as much as they hate Tottenham, they need it for the rivalry for the Premier League. Losing Tottenham would also be bad, given the Gunners' impressive recent record against them, having failed to lose against them since 2022."
"Gareth Bale believes that losing the North London derby would be terrible for both Arsenal and the Premier League. The former Spurs winger was discussing the possibility of them going down, and he responded to Ian Wright's statement."
Gareth Bale has cautioned that Tottenham's potential relegation would be detrimental to Arsenal and the Premier League, despite Arsenal's rivalry with Spurs. While Arsenal currently leads the table by seven points and fans dream of a title win coinciding with Spurs' relegation, Bale argues the North London derby is essential for the competition. Arsenal has dominated Spurs recently, remaining unbeaten against them since 2022. Tottenham sits just one point above the relegation zone and faces critical matches, including against Crystal Palace and Arsenal on May 9. Bale emphasizes that Arsenal, despite their hatred of Tottenham, needs the rivalry for the Premier League's competitive integrity.
