    Jack the lad is putting up £3k to his charity if Arsenal finish below Spurs and asks that all Spurs fans that follow his Twitter donate £1 to his charity if Arsenal finish above Spurs.

    Wenger says Wilshere will be out 'til late January, by the way.

    He earns about £60k a week, right? I'd have thought he'd have put up more money than that if he was as confident as he Tweets. Anyway it's a good bit of fun and a marked improvement from his usual Tweets.

    This is a multiboard so lets try and keep this civil. I'm sure we all have our opinions about whether multiboards work but stick to the subject matter and lets see if we can finally have one that works.

    Why would any Spurs fan follow that thug on Twitter?

    Good cause though.

    I follow him, mainly to give him some abuse over his comments on Modric. Enjoyed reposting them to him when the Fab and Nasri stories hit.

    Fair enough.

    I can't stand him so only ever his tweets when fellow Spurs fans retweet them.

    It is a pretty small amount of money considering what Wilshere earns.

    Though the same could be said for THudd and his Huddlefro campaign - he has set a target of £75,000 but only donated £500 himself.

    £3k is a pretty weak bet for him, isn't it?
    Especially as it's for charity.

    Good on him for putting something on the line though, I guess.

    It's a good point but I believe he said at the time that it was simply a kickstart for it.

    Also, i'd imagine he's having to spend a lot more on hair products.

    I think Bennys hair deserved about 50k on it's own last night.

    It's an Arsenal player obsessing about Spurs, if anything.

    Yes, and in the first reply a Spurs fan calls him a thug. What a start.
