Tottenham fans make shock kit choice as they attend Man City clash that could have handed Arsenal title
TOTTENHAM fans gave another shocking sign they wanted Manchester City to beat their own side on Tuesday night.
Some home supporters took top trolling to new levels by wearing sky blue shirts – as they hoped City denied Arsenal a first Premier League title since 2004.
One viewer responded to the surprising scene by posting: “C’mon Tottenham… north London needs to be blue.”
Keen-eyed observers also pounced on non-playing Spurs midfielder Yves Bissouma wearing a pale-blue tracksuit as he walked by the dugout before City cruised to a 2-0 victory.
“Bissouma got the memo,” joked one fan, who posted a shot of the Mali star strolling casually between the two squads.
And just ahead of Tuesday night’s kick-off, one Tottenham supporter gleefully told Sky Sports he’d be happy whatever the result.
He said: “It’s a win-win! We win, we win, we lose, we win.”
It follows Arsenal legend Paul Merson claiming Spurs fans would CHEER if City scored – because of their bitter rivalry with the Gunners.
He said on Sky Sports: “I’ve played in them games, they aren’t wanting Arsenal to win the league, whatever happens.
“There will get to a stage Tottenham fans will cheer if Man City score.

“They will – the one thing they don’t want is Arsenal to win the league.”
Spurs fans had been captured on camera at the weekend preparing a chant suggesting they were switching allegiance to Pep Guardiola’s men for the rest of the season.
A man on a guitar belted out a full rendition in a clip that some supporters called “shameful”.
He got on a mini-stage to sing: “I am City till July! I am City till July!
“I know I am, I’m sure I am, I’m City till July.”
