ARSENAL’s club photographer has brilliantly summed up fan reaction to Jose Mourinho becoming the new Spurs boss.
The Special One is still loathed by sections of the Gunners faithful for his fractured relationship with the club’s legendary manager Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal’s club photographer has taken aim at rivals Spurs after hiring Jose Mourinho as manager
The pair were often at each other’s throats when they competed at the biggest Prem clubs.
Former Arsenal boss Wenger famously pushed Mourinho on the Stamford Bridge touchline during his second stint in charge of Chelsea.
While the Portuguese famously dubbed his French counterpart a “specialist in failure” and a “voyeur” in the media.
Mourinho has now committed the cardinal sin of joining Arsenal’s arch-rivals Spurs, after agreeing a three-and-a-half-year deal to replace Mauricio Pochettino.
Gunners chief photographer Stuart MacFarlane summed up the feelings on the red side of North London by tweeting: “And when you thought you couldn’t dislike them anymore.”
One fan replied: “They could sign Shawcross in January to complete it”, referencing the Stoke City defender’s leg breaker on Aaron Ramsey.
Another said: “Double reason to hate them”, with someone else adding: “John Terry assistant coach. First signing, Troy Deeney. That would do it.”
User Agim Ymeri tweeted: “Time for Pochettino to do a Sol?”
Others clamoured for Stuart to be given a pay rise and hailed Arsenal as Stuart MacFarlane FC.
Ironically, Arsenal fans were only clamouring for Mourinho to replace struggling Unai Emery at the Emirates last month.
While it’s Spurs supporters who have been divided by his appoinment – with some welcoming the arrival and others “crying”.
But one thing to excite fans is Mourinho’s incredible trophy record, with Tottenham yet to lift a piece of silverware since the 2008 League Cup.
