The latest installment of the north London derby occurs in a few days; however, media personality and Arsenal supporters Piers Morgan fired the first shots at Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend.
During Arsenal’s FA Cup match against Nottingham Forest, which they ended up losing 1-0, Morgan took to Twitter and decided to criticize The Gunner’s play by comparing them to their north London rival.
“Can someone please tell Arsenal’s players that playing in white shirts doesn’t mean we have to play as badly as Spurs?” Morgan tweeted.
Despite their struggles against Morecambe, the 3-1 result is a little misleading, considering the three goals came in the late stages of the match. Nonetheless, Tottenham advanced despite the criticism for their performance.
There will be plenty of banter between the two rivals considering both clubs are fighting for a top-four spot. Arsenal holds the fourth spot with 35 points, and Tottenham has 33 points with two games in hand.
If Spurs can get those six points, it will be more than enough to leap over Arsenal in the standings. Should Tottenham defeat The Gunners on the 16th, there’s no denying some will bring back this tweet for banter.
