It's time for yet another big debate, and this time it's a battle between the OG members of James and Ces!

This means that the obsessive Arsenal fan in James must defend Bayer Leverkusen's Invincible season, and the lover of all things German in Ces must defend Arsenal's Invincibles. This may yet be a debate for the ages... alright?!

What do we think of Tottenham? Are they still a top team, or are they a team that should be compared to the likes of Everton, or dare I say it, Manchester United? Does the owner deserve the blame aimed at him, or are on-field issues unrelated to what's going on behind the curtains? Will James be able to put aside his North London bias? Will Dan be able to ignore their relegation battle? Will Ces be able to mediate all this bias with his world-renowned unbiased footballing views? It all sounds Spursy, but it's fixable... alright?!

They're the ones looking down from their ivory towers, whether due to their recent success, the club's history or simply due to their rose-tinted view of the world.
