We all know that Spurs haven’t won anything under Maruricio Pochettio but it seems, sometimes, as if that message hasn’t quite reached the media just yet.
For some reason, known only to him, Gary Lineker decided to tweet about Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs record and then compare it to Arsene Wenger’s.

He did try to clarify that he wasn’t having a dig at Arsene Wenger and I tend to believe him. I like Lineker, he’s not a s**t-stirrer like many others in the media.

That being said, it was too late to save himself from the onslaught.
Arsenal fans were, of course, quick to point out that Arsene Wenger won a league title in his first set of games in charge of Arsenal, before going on to win two more.
Here are some of the best responses to Lineker’s tweet from Arsenal fans:
By the time Arsene had won 100 league games at Arsenal, it was nearly 40 years since Spurs last won the league.
By the time Pochettino won 100 league games at Spurs, it was nearly 60 years since Spurs last won the league.

Arsene Wenger won the Premier League title after 53 games. Put some respect on his name.
