Table-toppers Arsenal heaped the pressure on North London rivals Tottenham and their manager Martin Jol yesterday with a 3-1 win at White Hart Lane. And it is likely to get worse for Spurs fans and their board this week when the Gunners also outstrip them off the field.
昨天位居榜首的阿森纳在白鹿巷，以3-1的成绩，又一次给以他们的北伦敦德比球队热刺和热刺教练Martin Jol巨大的压力。本周当枪手们在球场上超过他们时，看来对热刺球迷和董事会来说，情况越来越糟。
Two goals by Emmanuel Adebayor, with a brilliant long-range shot by Cesc Fabregas in between, gave Arsenal the three points after Gareth Bale had put Spurs ahead. That made it 19 games over eight years since Tottenham last won this derby in League or cup.
阿德巴约梅开二度，法布里加斯远距离劲射，在Bale让热刺领先之后，热刺又拱手将3分让给了阿森纳。这样，热刺自从在8年以前赢过阿森纳之后，已经在联赛和杯赛中，连着输给了枪手19场！
For the Gunners, it was an excellent start to a week that will see them announce financial figures that place them above Manchester United and Chelsea — let alone Spurs — and behind only Real Madrid in the list of the world’s richest clubs.
对枪手来说，这是本周的一个很好的开端，而在本周，他们将公布的财经状况报告众，可以看到他们已经超越了曼联和切尔西- 就更别提热刺了- 使阿森纳在世界首富俱乐部中，仅次于皇家马德里一家。
Arsenal’s total turnover of all the business the club generate, it will be revealed, has shot up to about £180m,about £22m behind Real Madrid, while United’s turnover stands at £167m. That is an increase of almost 50 per cent in just one season, such has been the effect of moving to the Emirates Stadium.
在报告中将会指出，阿森纳俱乐部经营的所有商业的总收入（营业额turnover），已经猛增至1.8亿英镑，仅比皇马少了0.22亿英镑，而曼联的总收入是1.67亿英镑。这就是说，在短短一个赛季的时间内，由于搬入了埃米尔球场，阿森纳的总收入翻了一番。
No wonder their currently buoyant board of directors, who believe that they can even surpass Real financially next season, can rebuff potential investors.
难怪他们现任董事会春风得意的董事们，这些认为俱乐部下个赛季在经济上有望超越皇马的董事们，会断然拒绝那些潜在的收购者。
（以下关于热刺如何酸溜溜，故此略）
