Arsenal fans showed a lot of class before KO last night

[medwayjon]

In respecting and joining in with the minutes applause for Bobby Smith, a THFC legend who sadly passed away last week the Arsenal fans showed a lot of class.

We did the same at Highbury when Rocastle passed away.

Despite the rivalry and hatred between these 2 clubs, there is an undercurrent of mutual respect when all is said and done.

I thank every gooner there for not spoiling the moment our fans paid tribute to an all-time legend of our club.

A credit to their club, and a credit to football.

Well said. My dad backed up Bobby when he was in the reserves in 1960/61 at Tottenham and speaks very highly of him as a player and a person.

Agree with comments above. Sky repeated the show with Jeff Stelling interviewing the double winning side. They played before my time, but according to my dad who was a Arsenal supporter, they played fantastic football.

And probably the last time they did

Just wait till chelsea get them on the 3rd of Oct..

4-1 is how it will end to the chelsea.

It doesn't reflect well on football fans if fans are praised for respecting something like this.

It should be a given surely?

I was there last nite and there weren't much trouble except 8 women in a corporate box being mouthy, which spurs fans replied with a chant ' you fat slags' I was pissing myself laughing!

I'm an arsenal fan but sat with a spurs fan with the hardcore crew, awkward!

Were you sat in shelf-side if you were near box or Park-Lane looking across?
