Seaman angers Arsenal fans with Tottenham comments

Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has risked the wrath of Arsenal fans by admitting he will want Tottenham Hotspur to win the Champions League this season.

Spurs provided a gritty display last night against Borussia Dortmund and went on to win 1-0 on the night. It was enough for them as they had won the previous encounter 3-0. The win will see Tottenham enter the last eight stage and Seaman has said he will want Spurs to win it all should they come up against foreign rivals.

“Seriously, I swear, I would want them to win,” he said on talkSPORT. “If they were in a final against a foreign team I would want Tottenham to beat them, no doubt about that.”

“Say Tottenham were playing Bayern Munich, Barcelona , whoever – I would want the English team to win. I played 75 times for my country, I’d want the English team to win. That’s just the way I am,” he added.

The message, as patriotic as it was, did not go down well with the Arsenal fans who were obviously irritated with one of their former stars asking for a win for their local rivals on the biggest football stage in Europe.
