Arsenal host Tottenham this Sunday in the season’s first North London Derby and the war of words have already begun.

First, it was Harry Winks who claimed that his team can easily beat the Gunners this weekend and then it was Hugo Lloris who said the North London Derby is more than just a game.

And up until now, the rivalry seemed to be going in the right direction.




But now a former Spurs manager has hit rock bottom with his recent actions.




We are talking about Tim Sherwood who managed the Lilywhites during the 2013-14 season and his last job as manager was with Aston Villa in 2015.

Sherwood while talking to Sky Sports revealed his combined XI and his choice has sent angry vibes amongst the Arsenal fanbase.




The 49-year-old chose a team which consisted of only Spurs players meaning as per him not a single Arsenal player was good enough to get into the first eleven.



And this was especially embarrassing for the Gunners fans since Paul Merson who also gave his predictions gave a perfectly balanced first Xi.




Yes, Paul Merson, a person who is famous for his outrageous comments had the sensibility to act like a pundit but not Tim Sherwood.

Here’s how the Arsenal fans reacted:











Arsenal are currently fifth on the league table and with a win, the Gunners will make to overtake Spurs based on goal difference.
