Win, lose or draw - this North London Derby is a victory for all
LAYTH YOUSIF explains how the North London Derby near sell-out is a moment to celebrate for all those involved
IT USED to be a running joke between myself and the former Arsenal Women’s manager, Joe Montemurro.
There was a spell, when, during every post-match interview he gave as boss, I’d purposely ask him when his team would play regularly at the men’s stadium.
Joe, a likeable Aussie that I had huge respect for, led the Gunners’ female arm for four years between 2017 and 2021. Yet, he was always polite, but non-committal in his answers on that subject.
