WHAT IAN WRIGHT SAID
Speaking on the , the ex-Gunners player said, "Ben White’s s***housery was beautiful. He’s the thinking man’s s***house, that’s the best way I can put it. The way Vicario got upset was f*****g brilliant, he went straight to 100 and all he did was try to undo his gloves. Vicarious was so f*****g angry!
"Ben White is a thinking man’s s***house. There are three games left now so everyone should know Ben White is going to go on the opposition goalkeeper and f**k around with him. For Tottenham to concede two goals with no one marking our s***house is poor, it’s poor. It’s poor from Tottenham and that definitely cost them."
