Nihal Arthanayake column: Tottenham can end Arsenal's title hopes, it's all we have left and that's fine
Imagine you are nearing the end of running the London Marathon. You can see the finish line. Your muscles are screaming at you to put them out of their misery. Your toenails are beginning to detach themselves from your toes after hours of pounding the capital's streets. You are craving a comfy sofa, foot massage and a kebab. With 600 metres to go, you notice that someone has dug a pit and filled it with hungry crocodiles. At the 500-metre mark there is a wall of barbed wire on fire.

OPINION - It’s the hope that thrills you! I pray the Spartan spirit in Spurs will see off Arsenal
That club on the red side of north London has ruined more weekends for me than bad weather, misbehaving kids, food poisoning and hangovers put together. It was in November 2010 that my beloved Spurs last beat them in the league at their place. Before that, it was in May 1993 that we overcame them at Highbury.

Nihal Arthanayake On Saying 'I Love You' — Off The Record
Nihal Arthanayake reflects on the influence his father’s approach had on his own ideas of parenting Ten years ago, I first became a parent and as each year passes, I become more conscious of the fact that I have helped mould two mini human beings. They have traits I find annoying but recognise in myself. However, rather than blame myself, I tell them to not be so annoying and absolve all responsibility.

As you sit reading this copy of Balance, I am sure you are a bastion of humility. Not a day passes without rays of modesty emanating from your soul.
Nihal: off the record - Balance
In dark socio-political times, it’s not the future that terrifies Nihal Arthanayake, it’s the present – and the direction it’s going You get into your white car, enter the postcode of where you want to go into your sat nav and the most logical route is generated by a machine floating in space. But what if you became convinced that your sat nav chose a much longer route, because it was ‘in bed’ with an oil company that reset the journey, so your vehicle consumed more petrol?
