A bit about you
Name: Tim Payton (@timpayton)
Current home town: London
Birthplace: London
How long have you supported your team? 37 years
Overview of your club:
Favourite thing about your home ground? It scores highly for functionality but lacks atmosphere
Favourite match played by your team & why? Winning the league at White Hart Lane
Favourite player of all time who played for your club? Robert Pires
About our forthcoming match against you:
Your favourite current player in your squad and why? Aaron Ramsey – when fit and on form he transforms what our midfield and team can do
Player in your squad we should most fear and why? Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – a natural goalscorer
Player in our squad you most fear and why? Jamie Vardy – Pace will always challenge Arsenal’s defenders
Up and coming prospect in your squad? Ainsley Maitland-Niles
How do you think you'll do against us? Arsenal haven’t won a point away in 2018 – but I think the ‘dead rubber’ element will see them get at least a point
General Questions:
Last August where did you think you'd finish this season? 4th
Which teams did you honestly think would go down? Huddersfield Town and Brighton – and they have done amazingly well
Describe your season in less than 15 words? The worst in 22years leading to the departure of Arsene Wenger
At the start of the season did you think Man City would win the league and if not who did you think would? Yes – they have the best squad and the best manager
If you could change 3 things at your club what would they be? A more effective and representative Board; safe standing; and better ticket arrangements to fill the empty seats
