Ryanair troll Spurs with Arsenal chant after Antonio Conte spotted on flight

Ryanair Spurs Conte

‘What do we think of Tottenham?’

Ryanair poked fun at Tottenham Hotspur on social media after their manager Antonio Conte was seen on one of the budget airline’s flights.

A video of the Italian coach on a Ryanair plane was uploaded onto Twitter on Monday, and it has since been viewed more than 1.5m times.

It remains unclear when the video was actually recorded, but it is thought that Conte was flying back from Turin. The former Chelsea boss was back in north London for the first day of pre-season on Monday.

The tweet – posted by @PhilippePaull – was captioned: “I knew Spurs were tight b******* but getting Conte to fly Ryanair is insane.”

Unsurprisingly, given their social media presence, Ryanair were quick to respond to the initial post after it caught the attention of the budget airline.

Their Twitter account shared the video and said: “What do we think of Tottenham?”

The reply will undoubtedly have brought a smile to the faces of Arsenal fans as it is the start of one of their infamous chants… with the reply usually ending with, ‘s***’.

Ryanair mocked Spurs after Mourinho was appointed Roma manager

It’s not the first time that Ryanair have made a dig at Spurs, with the Irish airline making a not so subtle insult to the north London club when their former manager Jose Mourinho was appointed Roma boss.

They tweeted: “Jose will be happy to know that we currently fly London to Rome from only £14.99.

“Due to his lack of trophies at Spurs, we expect a carry-on bag will suffice for this trip.”
