It was a good game - the team handled the adversity well because up until the inexplicable triple substitution, Arsenal had the edge on play.
That said, I’d hardly call Tottenham’s run of fixtures to have been overly stretching this far into the season.
You can only get the results you get against those you play.
I’m content with how the results have gone and only been concerned by our play against Fulham and Villa - the latter of whom went on to get a draw with City.

I think what you mean is that no one is arguing invincibility here. It's certainly been thrown out elsewhere along with hilarious ideas that they're winning the league or other hilarious prognostications. That squad is nowhere near deep enough to do any of that. They're in a battle for Europe, and if Chelsea falls enough they could scrape Champions League. My only fear with them is that at some point someone comes to their senses and they sack Arteta and bring in someone good.
And sure, we had Nottingham and Fulham so you can point to those and say our schedule hasn't been too difficult. We've also had our away games to Chelsea and West Ham though, and those are typically not good for us.
And as far as "the PL is better with Arsenal in it"...let's not be too hasty!
