OUR top team of writers give you big opinions that matter. But what about the little questions? Sun Bets went along to quiz Arsenal legend Ian Wright.
How chuffed were you after Arsenal beat Spurs?
EVEN I had Tottenham as favourites last weekend. And without taking anything away from Arsenal, Kane and Alli weren’t fit.
But Arsenal were superb. Shkodran Mustafi was my man of the match, he was brilliant.
I sent a lot of messages in my whatsapp group to my Spurs mates that night. I tweeted it out, but after the win it was like I had a glazed vision, everything I saw was red.
How do you address Arsene Wenger when you see him?
BOSS. I owe him for the last few years of my career.
Do you ever wear your England caps?
DON’T be daft man. No way you can’t wear your England caps!
What is the most you ever laughed on a football pitch?
YOU can’t really repeat what they called him, but it has to be the Teddy Sheringham song.
Arsenal fans have a wicked eye for irony and they were relentless with Teddy after he won the treble at United.
Who was your favourite team-mate?
LEE DIXON, we always got on really well on and off the pitch and even to this day we are great friends.
Ray Parlour was also a very funny man, always a laugh!
Who never got a round in?
SNITCHES get stitches, don’t they? Everyone got a round in!
Who WASN’T great at training but always turned up for games?
I HAVE to say old square head, Alan Shearer when we were on England duty. You’d just know he’d score in the game though. Great player.
How much did Michael Thomas go on about that goal he scored at Liverpool?
NOT ENOUGH! That Aguero moment was obviously special but Manchester City were massive favourites to win that game against QPR.
Arsenal not only beat the best team in the country at that time, they beat them in their own backyard.
The Arsenal lads genuinely thought they were going to get battered 4-0.
Would you rather have David Seaman’s moustache . . . or Olivier Giroud’s hair?
SEAMAN. What a specimen.
And does he give a good cuddle?
COURSE he does! Big bear.
What’s your funniest memory of him?
WHEN the ponytail made its debut. Everybody was scared to say, “What are you doing with that on your head?!”. Fantastic goalkeeper though.
Why didn’t Paul Merson ever win a Ballon d’Or?
SOMETIMES true genius just isn’t appreciated.
Whether it was you or someone else, what’s the best prank you ever saw?
THIS wasn’t funny for me, but I just always loved scaring people and got a bit known for it as I thought it was hilarious.
However, at the Arsenal training ground once I was hiding in the corridor waiting to scare the next one who came round the corner — and just my luck, it was the boss.
Everyone else loved it but he was not a happy man. He got very serious with me for a few days after that.
Would you take Sean Dyche at Arsenal?
SEAN has done an unbelievable job with Burnley and certainly deserves a shot at a more established club.
Knowing them, they’ll probably beat us tomorrow, too.
Who’d win in a fight, Sean Dyche or Patrick Vieira?
SEAN DYCHE, every single day of the week!!
Would you rather Spurs won the title . . . or Daniel Levy was your dad?
DANIEL LEVY as my dad and my grandad!
