Arsenal fans mock Tottenham with incendiary chant against Nottingham Forest
Tottenham are preparing to face West Ham, but events at the Emirates will have pricked supporters’ ears at Saturday lunchtime.
Ange Postecoglou has begun life as Nottingham Forest manager, having been sacked by the Lilywhites in June despite winning the Europa League title just weeks before.
Forest supporters were sceptical over Postecoglou’s appointment, given what unfolded last term.
Now, Arsenal supporters have aimed a not-so-subtle dig at their North London neighbours in North London.
Arsenal fans aim Tottenham chant at Nottingham Forest
Postecoglou was regularly thwarted by Arsenal during his time at Spurs and that has not changed.
A trip to the Emirates Stadium was never going to be simple, especially given Forest’s performance against West Ham.
Indeed, the match transpired as expected with Mikel Arteta’s side strolling to a 3-0 victory over the Tricky Trees.
- Forest have conceded six goals in two games
- They have suffered back-to-back 3-0 defeats
- Arsenal now have nine points from a possible 12
Tottenham’s summer target Eberechi Eze was on top form and bagged an assist in the red of Arsenal.
However, the bigger insult that occurred in North London was the chant aimed at the Lilywhites.
As the game drew to a close, Arsenal supporters aimed a cheeky chant: ‘Are you Tottenham in disguise?’
Furthermore, sack chants were aimed at Postecoglou as he started life with Forest in the worst possible way.
Spurs can reply to Arsenal with statement West Ham result
While Tottenham supporters will be reeling at the chant, they can make the perfect response against the Hammers.
Thomas Frank’s side have started the season with two wins from three, but should make it a third win in East London.
Although Graham Potter’s men will head in as underdogs, they showed how lethal they can be against Forest.
If Tottenham are victorious, then they will go level on points with the Gunners and will be hellbent on matching their fierce rivals.
Indeed, all ears will be listening to hear if the Spurs faithful respond to what was said in North London.
