Piers Morgan blasts Tottenham as ‘Comical’ footage emerges from trophy parade
Arsenal supporter Piers Morgan is never one to shy away from expressing his views about Tottenham, given the rivalry between the two sides.
Despite being in 17th place in the Premier League, Spurs will end the season with a European trophy, while the Gunners will wrap it up trophyless.
This is because the Lilywhites won the Europa League by beating Manchester United 1-0 in the final.
Morgan blasts Spurs for holding a trophy parade after being 17th in the league
Spurs, as is the norm, hosted an open bus parade on Friday to commemorate their Europa League triumph.
It was a journey that was attended by thousands of fans in the capital, with players and Ange Postecoglou giving speeches on different occasions.
They even interacted with the fans who turned out in numbers and were chanting the club songs all along.
| Statistic | Tottenham Hotspur | Manchester United |
|---|---|---|
| Ball Possession | 29% | 71% |
| Expected Goals (xG) | 1.01 | 0.76 |
| Big Chances | 1 | 2 |
| Total Shots | 3 | 12 |
| Goalkeeper Saves | 4 | 0 |
| Corner Kicks | 4 | 4 |
| Fouls | 22 | 9 |
| Passes | 182 | 457 |
| Tackles | 16 | 20 |
| Free Kicks | 9 | 22 |
| Yellow Cards | 3 | 3 |
However, it bothered Morgan, who, as an Arsenal fan, was unhappy that his side failed to win silverware.
He reacted to the footage shared by Tottenham’s official X account and called it “comical.”
Morgan wrote: “Imagine being 17th in the League and doing this for winning the losers’ European trophy. Comical.”
Tottenham fans surely could not care less about Morgan’s comments
Tottenham fans are unlikely to care about Morgan’s criticism of their Europa League victory parade, despite potentially finishing 17th in the Premier League, because the triumph ended a 17-year trophy drought.
The win over Manchester United in Bilbao secured not only silverware but also a Champions League spot and up to £54.4million in prize money, giving fans a rare moment of joy after years of near misses.
Morgan, a vocal Arsenal supporter, appears jealous, as the Gunners failed to win any trophies this season.
Spurs fans will celebrate their achievement, unbothered by Morgan’s jibe, while he grapples with Arsenal’s lack of silverware.
