Tottenham coach 'does not understand' fans who want them to lose to Manchester City on purpose
Ange Postecoglu has revealed he does 'not understand' why Tottenham fans want the club to lose to Manchester City when the clubs clash on Tuesday.
In a rare display of unity, Arsenal midfielder Kai Havertz voiced his allegiance to Tottenham, stating, "I am going to be the biggest fan of Tottenham ever, we are all going to be. So let's hope for the best."
The sentiment was echoed by the Gunners' fanbase, although tempered with realism regarding Tottenham's chances. Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson even went as far as to pledge a tattoo of the Spurs emblem if they were to secure a positive result against City.
"If Villa got beat tomorrow [Monday] by two or three, all of a sudden that goal difference changes a bit," he told Sky Sports. "If they go and get beat by one or two at Palace…
If they lost their next two games by two clear goals, I am not talking about the extraordinary here, that's four goals, then all of a sudden Tottenham...if they get a draw against City I am having a tattoo, and then they go and put six past Sheffield United.
"It all goes down to Tuesday, I am starting to want Arsenal not to win it now. It would be the little cockerel on the ball, but I will have it. I will have it."
