Why are they pretending that they don't understand what Keown was saying. They literally have a colleague who played for spurs saying the same thing!!!

It's funny how everyone has forgotten that actual Chelsea Players more or less said they would throw the game against Leicester to stop Spurs winning the league. Actual players, not pundits or fans.

Jamie a former Spurs player has been saying exactly what Martin said. Simon is just being stubborn and silly taking low jabs at Martin for no reason.

Simon is holding on semantics. Of course Martin meant the Spurs fans

Tottenham have 1 league Cup in the last quarter of a century.........nuff said.

Martin is bang on!!!!!!

Just listen to social media and your own talk sport channel, Keown is absolutely right.

Martin didn't say owners or management he was simply speaking about the spuds fans😅

Souey talking about the dressing rooms he was in is irrelevant. For two reasons. 1) his dressing rooms were never the Tottenham in this equation. They were the Manchester City. So he does not have that same direct experience he alludes to. 2) The world has massively change since Souey retired. It was possible in the 80s and even 90s for players to be largely ignorant of what fans thought beyond the atmosphere in the stadium. Now with social media, with 24 hour sports news it is almost impossible that those Spurs players are not hearing their own fanbase say "please do not win this game." It's okay while the game is 0-0 or if Spurs get in front but I promise you if City score first there will be players on that pitch for Spurs who feel a sense of relief at that and their desire to press for an equaliser will not be what it would have been if this game was 6-8 weeks ago. That is just the reality of the world we are in. Keown was right.

Every spurs fan I have spoken to is willing them to lose 😂

Martin using reverse psychology

Spurs fans still celebrating the 2008 league cup

Remember everyone it's Spurs who are completely obsessed with everything Arsenal do, they even made up a day for celebrating finishing above them. Oh wait...

Martins right, I want us to lose against city

Simon and Graeme proceed to laugh off everything Martin said …… few mins in every spurs fan that rang in basically backed up Martin’s opinion, Simon needs to get over his hatred for Martin and smell the roses , even presenters in there own studio are saying what Martin has been saying

Martin is absolutely right all my spurs mates said they'll happily forfeite the city game but they can still make the champions league 😂😂

Martin was talking about the Spurs fans. I would argue though that Levy was always looking over the fence at Arsenal’s new stadium and training ground and had to make sure they were bigger. Arsenal has always been Spurs’ benchmark.

They’re gonna get pumped regardless.

Someone last night was saying they would rather spurs relegated than see Arsenal win the league. Small club.

He's spot on

I was driving to work yesterday and saw a British geezer with a spurs shirt on. I put my window down and said to him “you guys better win!” He responded to me with “I certainly hope not”. I was stunned and just left 😆 crazy ass fans.

The verbal gymnastics continue. 😂

Watch the spurs fans celebrate tonight after they lose to 115fc. Then you’ll see the mentality. Proof will be in that snapshot of behaviour.

The same thing happened when spurs were in the champions league final. Arsenal fans on AFTV said they’d prefer to lose the Europa final if it meant spurs lost the CL final. It’s called rivalry

Funny how no one is suggesting Man U threw their game against Arsenal to make things harder for City 🤔

Maybe next time Arsenal should rely on themselves instead of their rivals

I haven't heard or read one asking any gooner, if the roles were reversed, would they want to win and help Spurs achieve the Premiership?

I'm a spurs fan and all I care about is our own season. I would rather put pressure on villa. I enjoy the fact that city struggle against us.

Graeme’s argument is flawed because he’s saying professionalism will prevent Spurs players from not trying. But he’s also accused players eg Utd players, of not playing for managers in the past and trying to get them sacked! So clearly, professionalism doesn’t always ring true

Expecting the club you taunt all the time of being inferior to help you win your first league in 20 years is the type of delusion you can only get from Arsenal fans 🤣🤣🤣

24+hrs Keown was right. Ange has said it now, Conte said it, Jose said it. No Arsenal fan should ever see them as rivals. Idc about NL proximity, 1900s promotion nonsense. It ended last night.

Arsenal fans would want their side to lose against City if it was Chelsea that stood to miss out on the title and they had nothing else to play for (I’d say spurs as well but let’s not be silly, that wouldn’t ever happen)

Arsenal have to play the undefeated Tracky DYCHE 😮

So has Keown got inside information about Tottenham's objective ?

Everyone forgets Utd vs Spurs in 1999 then, up 1-0 at HT last game of season, Ferdinand admitted they didn’t want to play second half, lost 2-1. Utd won the title.

Sir Jordanite & Souness = Top LADS Proper Clobbers 💯 Facts

Not just embarrassing for Spurs but football fandom in general. Plastic soulless clubs, equal plastic soulless fans. TV has killed the game and deep down it knows it has.

That Luke is an absolute whopper. Probably a Twitter fan who has barely stepped foot in Tottenham. Prat.

How is 1991 nearly 40 years ago? Can Martin count?

Well that is a lie isn't it? Whilst Arsenal weren't winning titles. Arsenal were still FA cups.7:41

They laugh but Martin is being proven right with all the spurs fan media pundits and fans that call in hoping spurs lose...

"all these Tottenham fans" its ridiculous 2% fan base click bait . Whats amusing is this type of reporting is across all spheres of media

Levy does, remember when he tried to block the Ozil deal to Arsenal when Spurs were selling Bale to Real Madrid

Well said Graeme 👏

The fans, yes, woudl not want it. But Ange didnt' grow up a Tottenham fan, did he? Did Son? or Van der Ven or Richarlison? It won't mean much to them. Souness is right, players are professionals and it's a job. people in any job generally want to do it well, if not only for the money.

Sorry but Keon is talking rubbish. My Arsenal mates never stopped telling me that they didn’t want us to beat Liverpool in the champions league final. And if the roles were reversed ,they’ll be the same. So fans yes but players no, they have a job to do.

Alright boys..no team talk today..just go out there remember dont forget the highline

Funny how Jim rephrases the point to "Arteta will hope Spurs do them a favor" which is completely different from "Ange will be okay with/complicit in Spurs losing" Gross political mind!

If city go 2 or 3 goals up i genuinely do believe spurs fans will make a mockery of the game lol

If they can’t get in the cl which might be the case after tonight why would they give arsenal a helping hand there’s zero upside

Who cares what the fans think it's what the players do on the pitch doesn't anyone really believe the spurs manager will tell them to go out and lose the game what a load of bolloxs players from 7/8 years old have been brought up to win that's why they make it as a professional souness is totally right

Worrying about Arsenal is small club mentality. We had our chance to stop arsenal from winning the league and we wasted it. We can not let arsenal live rent free in our heads , we have to be bigger than that.

Keown spot on with this Tottenham are a tiny club with a small club mentality ran for profit with a fan base who would rather arsenal don’t win the PL than qualify for the CL. Tottenham fans let the PL down tonight celebrating their own teams loss disgraceful im not even an Arsenal fan btw

Most spurs fans HATE arsenal...we dont want to see them win the league we aint going to hear the end of it for years....and to all the comments talking about small club mentality just remember the arsenal fans NEED spurs to win so they win the league...that is small club mentality right there.... any spurs fan who wants us to win so we can go get smashed in the champions league needs to give their head a wobble...we are not ready for champions league football right now, besides we still NEED villa to mess up so i dont think we will be getting champions league football anyway...so the best spurs can hope for is watching our rivals not win the league...just my 2 cents

It’s a weird take from Keown seeing as it’s the Arsenal fans that celebrate St Totterings day or whatever it is.

As an Arsenal Fan I must be somewhat odd.For myself, just as long as Arsenal beat Tottenham and finish higher in the League that is enough.I am not anti Spurs or any other Team for that matter.Interestingly, over the years, several of the players have had very good Friends in the opposing camp.Hoddle and Graham Rix come readily to mind for one. Interestingly I thought that Manchester United were trying against Arsenal Yesterday.Particularly so when looking at their recent performances.What is the difference then between them and City viz a viz the two London Clubs.

Agree with Souness

arsenal fans are obsessed with tottenham flood all their channels everyday.

Let’s talk about someone who’s not even there. Pathetic.

If Tottenham beat City, Arsenal’s title belongs to them.

didn’t Arsenal fans say they’d happily lose the Europa League if Spurs lost the Champions League in 2019😂

better keep an eye on the match for match fixing

I have to disagree a bit with Simon and even more so with Graeme. I think the latter sometimes forgets that the players of his day were actual warriors who fought tooth and nail for every point. This generation of footballers are diva types who, whilst being competitive in their own right, are also dealing with the lifestyles of modern footballers. It simply doesn’t mean as much to players these days, especially considering the influx of players to whom local derbies and historic rivalries are meaningless. Which of the Spurs players actually HATES Arsenal? Skipp? That’s about it. Also, I do agree with Simon that the ownership and a number of the players will care more about winning than preventing Arsenal from winning the league, but to use that to undermine Martin’s point, someone who actually lived the NLD for decades, is odd. Far too many Spurs fans care more about Arsenal than their own club. Their measure of success is Arsenal’s failures because they have no success of their own to celebrate. Spurs could be in a UCL final but would be more worried about Arsenal finishing 4th. That’s their mentality. Small club and pitiful inferiority complex

Of couse Souness rejects it. It's hardly surprising

Simon wont dare speak about Keown this way if he was in the studio.... An Article he wrote 18months ago has nothing to do with Spurs lacking ambitions of their own. Chelsea players and fans also dont want Arsenal to win the league but they still gave a proud account of themselves against City in both legs. Everton dont want Liverpool to win the title but they played their best game for about 75mins against City and Arsenal this season. Even United despite their poor state and not really being in a top4 race anymore gave Arsenal a strong game last night. The conversation about downing tools was never had by the players or fans of any of these clubs,especially when you have the possibility of getting CL football . I think that is Simon's point.

Martin sounds angry that he knows the league has gone

Martin set the place a light. Errr no Jim ffs 😂

In 2016 european championship Italy let ireland beat them so irish fans would support the italians playing spain in next round Ireland beat italy in last minute Italians let ireland beat them, so irish fans would support italy against spain, as spain had the hoodoo over italy at the time So such things like teams doing things in there interests, does happen, even today After that game, italian players were celebrating with irish team, as like i said italians wanted the irish fans to back them playing spain, as spain had the hoodoo over italy at the time. Just told you something none of you know, to prove souness wrong, when he says teams do not work out ways to get what they want even if it means losing themselves.

Thank you Graeme.

Where was this energy when Utd were playing arsenal yesterday? I’m guessing Utd threw the game against arsenal yesterday because they don’t want city to win the 4th in a row? Arsenal fans… answers on a post card. Wet wipes.

Arsenal bottled it against villa Martin. It has nothing to do spurs

And that’s esactly the attitude as to why spurs never win anything your fighting for champs league and to get your manager better players which won’t won’t happen without champs league football and that’s also why spurs get the spursy tag line

Seems Keown was right.

how many times have spurs finished in front of ARSENAL in the PL?ONCE OR TWICE IN 25YRS

Citeh will win easily. Mark my words. Spuds will not help Arsenal win a league title.

I would like my team to every game no matter what come on support your team ⚽️ always Evesham football club

The fact is we won’t know if the spurs players do or don’t play to their potential because they’re getting battered either way😂

Where was pride the last 5 games??

Arsenal fans are delusional im not surprised that they are crying about an other team,

Integrity of the league will be gone if a team decides to loose.... and the other team becomes Champion

Leaking roof @ old trafford is indicative of the the football team

Spurs fans can talk about not wanting Arsenal to win the league & whatever but there's 90M on the table for whoever gets 4th spot. Take it or leave it?

No football fan wants their arch rivals to win the League! Probably not at the expense of your own teams ambitions but if it came to it and a loss meant your rivals also lost - happy days.

Actually it is Arsenal fans that want Spurs help and are depending on a result. If they are worthy champions they don't need help from others.!

Spurs fan here and I want Spurs to WIN EVERY GAME . PERIOD . . . . . . . I do think City will win but I want us to play to our best regardless . The only time Arsenal matter is when we play them .

Ange should move on from these loser fans. Well, they're not fans. They need counselling.

In all honesty Arsenal should have beaten Villa. Then they wouldn't be in this predicament. It is all being well analysing Spurs' stance on this, from players to the fans. But Arsenal fans and players should not be relying on Spurs doing them any favours as much as Spurs fans should not be worried if they manage to beat City tomorrow. If City win, Arsenal have themselves to blame a few weeks ago against Emery and co.

Look at the comments section, Martin is bang on right.

Martin keown was spitting nonsense,when Tottenham was playing champions league final against Liverpool every Arsenal fan became a Liverpool supporter that is football tribalism,as a Spurs fan I will gladly support man city tomorrow night.

Arsenal player telling Spurs how to support their club ? You just worry about Man City losing.

If Aston Villa win tonight Spurs will definitely lose tomorrow as there will be no CL next season.

Spurs fans should not see this as giving arsenal the title they should see it as giving football back its title why the should Chester’s keep win if everything every year and people are actually happy to see a tea, who are cheating constantly win that’s why spurs and there’s fans aren’t respected do football a favour not Man City

Ange went against the fans saying it won't role the red carpet out

I loved it when Chelsea beat Spuds to stop them and hand the league to Leicester 🔴⚪ AFC

Keown's right.

Its Arsenal, not a super club, Martin Keown should not be a pundit, Man City will win coz they are the best team in England, Arsenal are probably the 2nd best at the moment !

How can Souness shut this statement down when it's all we've been hearing from Spurs fans the last week or so.

I though spurs where going to be above the gunners not looking to good is it

SPURS ARE LIKES SMALL CLUB - WHAT A JOKE OF A CLUB

It's the most idiotic comments ever. 🙄
