George Graham risks wrath of Arsenal fans after declaring Spurs as contenders for the title
Making a point: George Graham managed TSpurs but was also in charge at Arsenal for nearly nine years[LNB]George Graham has infuriated Arsenal fans by insisting Tottenham can win the Barclays Premier League ttle this season.[LNB]Graham, who managed the Gunners for nearly nine years before taking over at Spurs in 1998 after a spell as boss at Leeds, believes this season is wide open and the winners could be a 'real surprise''.[LNB]The 65-year-old former Scotland international says there is no reason why Harry Redknapp's side side cannot win the championship after their remarkable 3-2 win at Arsenal on Saturday following Younes Kaboul's late winner.[LNB]Graham told talkSPORT: 'I think this is a season when there could be a real surprise. I think it's all up for grabs at the present time.'Harry said very wisely 'go out there and believe in yourselves, let's have a go at Arsenal, don't stand back and admire them'. And that's exactly the way they played.[LNB]When asked whether Spurs can go all the way, he said: 'Why not? Why can't they go on from here. He's got a great squad of players, albeit he probably doesn't know what his best 11 are. [LNB]'He's bringing players off the bench and it's working for him but why not? Manchester United are not at their best by any means but if Wayne Rooney comes back and we see the Wayne Rooney of last season you would think they've got a great chance as well.'[LNB]Graham has also warned Arsenal managerArsene Wenger he needs to add 'a few stronger personalities' to his side if the Gunners are to remain contenders.[LNB] Late show: Kaboul is mobbed after scoring Tottenham's 85th minute at Arsenal[LNB]Graham said: ' I saw them a few weeks ago against Newcastle at home and again they had lots and lots of possession. But when they don't score when they're on top they almost seem to say to themselves "we're going to have so much possession but we can't score" and that's when their vulnerable.[LNB]'They need a few stronger personalities in the team to say 'look we're not going to score but let's not concede' and I always think if you're playing Arsenal there's always a chance they're definitely going to concede.[LNB]'When I look at Arsenal and I see them winning 2-0 their philosophy is 'let's make it three, let's make it four'. I always think with Arsenal even when they are playing well they're vulnerable.'[LNB] Tottenham eyeing move for Karim Benzema as Harry Redknapp looks to 'tweak' his squad in JanuaryArsenal legend Frank McLintock confronts bookmaker Barry Dennis after derby defeatTOTTENHAM FC
