Wise strikes me as one of those bitter ****s who rembebes you didn’t buy him a pint 20 years ago.

Is that a new word?
It's all about the micro bububbles.Is that a new word?
No way is Wrighty a Spurs fan.
I remember him going mental in the studio when we beat them 2-3 at the Emirates. He hated it. I also remember many games where he goaded Spurs fans after scoring, especially in a 1-1 draw at the Lane in the mid 90's. He scored a penalty to level it and stuck his fingers up at the crowd.
But we played Chelsea, not Arsenal. Different scenario. If it was Arsenal we beat on Sunday instead of his favourite team, would Wise be as scathing of us?What about Ian Wright and Martin Keown? They are both Arsenal through and through. But they are professional enough to praise Spurs and remain unbiased.
Yeah I must say that I do have a lot of time for Wrighty whereas the others just seem to feel obliged to parrot the 'how long can Spurs hold onto.....' line. It's almost like a reflex mechanism.What sets the likes of Wrighty apart from the likes of Wise is that Dennis Wise is clearly just parroting whatever lazy narrative he's heard/read elsewhere in the media. Therefore, if challenged, he'd struggle to provide a constructive argument to move the discussion forwards in support of his view, because its not really his view. Wright, like Gary Neville, Danny Murphy and Jermaine Jenas, are able to sound much more constructive in their views of a club/player because they are an honest reflection of their own views, and there is much more depth to the opinions they espouse. When people like Wise, Cascarino and Dean Saunders (to name a few) spout their hollow bullshit, you often wonder how much they are actually watching football and forming their own opinions, as opposed to simply talking to others and repeating the cliched views of others.
Chris Sutton is an odd one, in that he talks a lot of rubbish but at least it often sounds like its his rubbish that he's thought about and arrived at after following a lot of games.

Wrighty is just a proper heart on the sleeve person who will have a bit of banter with Spurs fans, but also give credit where credit's due. Absolute travesty that he's not involved with Arsenal in some way. They should be utilising his passion and enthusiasm, mostly probably within their academy. But thankfully it's their loss.
