"It’s a f***ing weird take" - Former Premier League star slams Tottenham fans for stance on Arsenal

Former Watford striker Troy Deeney has asserted that any Tottenham Hotspur fan hoping that the club loses to Manchester City in their game on May 14 (Tuesday) to deprive Arsenal of the Premier League title is 'f****** weird'.

Manchester City defeated Fulham on Saturday, May 11, while Arsenal will travel to Old Trafford to play against Manchester United.

If Mikel Arteta's side beat United, City's clash against Tottenham Hotspur could prove to be crucial in the title race. Should the Cityzens lose to Spurs, the Gunners would just need to beat Everton at home on the final day to claim their first Premier League title in over two decades.

Deeney has slammed fans hoping that Spurs lose to ensure that City win their fourth consecutive title. Here's what he wrote for The Sun:

"I know a few Tottenham fans who have told me they would love to see Ange Postecoglou put the kids out to face Manchester City on Tuesday night, so Arsenal can’t win the league. I have to be honest — it’s a f***ing weird take. I’m getting to a point where, as a football fan, I want a different team to win the league. Not because City are terrible but it just gets boring."

Deeney stated that he wants Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs to keep fighting for wins until the end of the season.
