A dangerous ranking. A derby badly lost. A new coach who specializes in difficult situations. A chain of injuries. A difficult choice. A coffee cup with the wrong brand. A statement not taken very well. A former American football player. A pagan saint of Arsenal fans. A beautiful stadium with no name. A potential £260 million disaster
The bigger they are, the more noise they make when they fall. And above all, in football, the more harm they do. Think, for example, if Tottenham, who are traveling dangerously close to the relegation zone in the Premier League, fell in England: Spurs are just 4 points behind third-last West Ham, they won their last match on 28 December (they are the only team in the championship without a single success in the calendar year) and since then they have put together a paltry 4 points in 9 matches.
