Gareth Bale has infuriated Tottenham fans by wishing Arsenal pair Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey good luck ahead of today's FA Cup final.

The Real Madrid player spent six years with Arsenal's fierce rivals Spurs before switching to the Bernabeu.

However it seems former team-mates rank higher in his thoughts than the legion of Tottenham supporters.

Bale played with Walcott at Southampton whilst Ramsey is an international team-mate with Wales.

Unsurprisingly, Tottenham fans have reacted furiously on Twitter.
