Ah, to be involved in the North London derby.

Separated by just over four miles, Arsenal and Tottenham is one of the fiercest rivalries in English football.

So when reports came out that Spurs were lining up an offer for Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski, he responded on Twitter with a line that will surely please Gunners’ fans.

The rivalry between these two clubs is so strong that Sol Campbell received the nickname “Judas” when he jumped ship from White Hart Lane to the Emirates back in 2001.

It’s always good to see players loyal to their clubs, especially from a player like Podolski who has seen his playing time drop this season with the arrival of Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck.

Since joining Arsenal in 2012, the German international has scored 19 goals in 56 Premier League appearances, while helping lead Arsenal to the FA Cup title last season.

Gunners’ fans will be hoping Podolski can be as clever on the pitch as he is on Twitter.
