Spurs boss Harry Redknapp calls stewards in to deal with abusive Arsenal fan
Harry Redknapp was forced to ask stewards to intervene yesterday at the Emirates Stadium after a group of Arsenal fans sat behind the Tottenham dugout subjected him to sustained abuse in the first half. [LNB]Redknapp, who has spoken out about the intolerable insults directed at players and managers, reacted to one persistent offender in the Arsenal crowd and pointed him out to the stewards, who then spoke to the man about his behaviour. [LNB]'It was just one guy,' said Redknapp. [LNB] Not happy: Harry watched his side get thoroughly beaten[LNB] 'He was swearing in front of kids. Yeah, I think he was swearing at me. [LNB]'He couldn't behave himself and I don't like swearing like that in front of children. I spoke with the stewards about him and they spoke with him.' [LNB]Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger displayed a rare moment of anger in the second half, hurling his jacket to the ground after some sloppy defending, despite the fact his side were 3-0 in the lead. [LNB] Hear me now: Wenger reacts angrily to his team's defending[LNB] 'I have done it before,' he claimed, smiling as he reflected on his moment of anger and alluding light-heartedly to the impressive volume of the crowd support, which belied the accusation that Arsenal fans fail to support vocally. [LNB]'I couldn't communicate because of the noise and I'm not used to that,' said Wenger. [LNB]'I felt it was important not to concede because, with what has happened recently, one goal can cause a panic. [LNB]'But it has been a fantastic week for the club. We have beaten Liverpool and Tottenham and both the teams we put out have produced convincing performances with the kind of style we like to play at the club.' [LNB]As for a title challenge, he added: [LNB]'I said at the start of the season that I think we have a chance. I think we have the quality, the spirit and attitude in the squad to do it.'[LNB] GARY LINEKER: Harry Redknapp still has a big job to transform SpursArsenal 3 Tottenham 0: Van Persie and Fabregas highlight gulf in classSpurs in our class?
