We couldn't see the paper! Cazorla apologises to Spurs fans after appearing to mock club in 's***' jibe with Pires



Santi Cazorla has apologised to Tottenham supporters after he was pictured appearing to mock Arsenal's arch rivals alongside club legend Robert Pires.

The duo, who were appearing on French TV on Sunday night, were snapped with a female fan of Arsene Wenger's side holding a piece of paper containing the terrace song: 'What do we think of Tottenham? S***! What do we think of s***? Tottenham!'

The unnamed supporter then posted the image to social networking site Twitter. It has since been retweeted more than 1,400 times.

Cazorla took to social media on Monday afternoon to apologise to Spurs fans.

'Our apoligizes to the Totenham fans, we couldn't see the paper. #alwaysfootballalwaysrespect,' the midfielder tweeted.

Pires, who regularly trains with his old side to keep fit, and Spaniard Cazorla follow in the footsteps of Theo Walcott and Wojciech Szczesny, who have also angered Spurs fans in recent weeks.

Walcott teased Tottenham's travelling support during an FA Cup tie at the Emirates earlier this month, making a gesture to indicate the 2-0 scoreline while being carried off injured on a stretcher.

Gunners keeper Szczesny has also got in on the act, taking to his official Facebook page in late November to post the message 'Wonderful scenes at the Etihad..' during Manchester City's 6-0 demolition of Spurs.
