Jamie O’Hara threatened to leave the talkSPORT studio after Jason Cundy hilariously teased him over Tottenham’s defeat to Arsenal.
The Sports Bar co-hosts were reacting to the Gunners’ 1-0 win over Spurs in the north London derby on Sunday afternoon.
As with any big result, Cundy opened Monday night’s show with his classic ‘Has anyone seen?!’ jibe, this time aimed at the derby’s losers.
“Your boys took one hell of a beating!” he said alongside former Spurs man O’Hara whilst jokingly taking aim people and places related to the club.
The presenting duo eventually got down to discussing the match, with O’Hara stating his only positives from a disappointing day.
“I like [Pedro] Porro, I really like him. I think him, [Mickey] Van de Ven… that’s it really from the weekend. The rest of them mate, not good enough, really poor, really poor, Solanke…
“Say well done Arsenal,” Cundy teasingly replied, but O’Hara was not happy and responded: “I’m not going to say, ‘Well done Arsenal’ J, shut up mate, honestly.”
Cundy kept insisting on his co-host praising his rivals, but O’Hara was still having none of it.
“I don’t come here and do this to you with Chelsea. You say… listen, I’m not having it, no, no, no, I’m not having it, no, no. Don’t give it all when we’re on-air, right?
“You do this all the time, right? When Chelsea play, you hate it, I can’t even celebrate when Chelsea get beat in there [points to green room] because you kick-off.
“And then I come on-air and I give you a little bit of stick but come on, don’t start sitting there saying, ‘Well done Arsenal.’ Like, come on mate, don’t be an idiot.”
Cundy poke further fun at him by reading out Spurs’ motto: “‘To dare is to do’. Just say, ‘Well done Arsenal’, then you are daring.”

“Cundy, do you want to do this show on your own? I’m quite happy to go,” O’Hara said with a very slight grin.
But Cundy added: “Listen, you said you’re going to give them a whooping, you didn’t. Just say, ‘Sorry,’ and say, ‘Well done Gooners, you deserved it.'”
The hilarious interaction between the pair concluded by O’Hara telling his co-host to: “Shut up.”
Cundy continued to giggle having realised he successfully wound up O’Hara, who was despondent after Spurs’ defeat.
He’ll hope to be a much happier presenter on Wednesday night’s Sports Bar after his beloved club’s Carabao Cup third round tie against Coventry City, which is live on talkSPORT 2.
The duo will also be dissecting all the latest Champions League news as the competition returns in its new format.
Across the week, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City and Aston Villa are all in action.
Meanwhile, England superstars Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane should be in action for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, respectively.
