Viewers swoon over ‘wonderful’ Laura Woods but Spurs fans convinced ITV are trolling them with pundits for FA Cup clash

LAURA WOODS wowed viewers during ITV’s FA Cup coverage – but except for Arsenal fans.

The armchair audience for Tottenham’s home clash with Burnley was split between swooners and Gooners – with most observers admiring “wonderful” Laura but some complaining Arsenal were being trolled.

Laura Woods was ‘trying hard not to laugh’ when discussing Spurs, according to one viewer of ITV’s FA Cup coverage[/caption]

ITV’s Friday night panel included Gunners’ fan Woods – plus legendary ex-Arsenal footballers Ian Wright and Karen Carney.

One fan posted: “Literally put ITV on and Laura Woods is on there trying her hardest not to laugh when asking Ian Wright about Spurs. Why do they do this knowing full well she f***ing hates Spurs.

Another wrote: “Spurs vs Burnley in the FA Cup, who shall we get in the studio for balance? Shall we go for Arsenal fan Laura Woods, ex Arsenal Karen Carney and ex Arsenal Ian Wright? Yep, sounds good”

A third commented: “So let me get this right. Spurs on tele and ITV have Laura Woods, renowned Arsenal fan, Ian Wright, Arsenal legend and Karen Carney, Arsenal legend. I’m surprised they didn’t include Ty from AFTV.”

And a fourth warmed to the theme: “Ian Wright- Gooner. Lee Dixon – Gooner. Nice impartial punditry tonight then.”

Some apparently neutral observers were amused by the situation.

One said:” Omg ITV really giving it to the Spurs fans by having a panel full of Arsenal players and supporter Laura Woods. More than a coincidence? Spurs fans are fuming lol.”
