Tottenham fans were not at all happy after Laura Woods asked James Maddison a question they slammed as "disrespectful" and "unprofessional".<\/p>\n
Woods and TNT Sports colleague Ally McCoist had a sit-down chat with Spurs' summer arrival Maddison for the broadcaster this week, discussing a range of topics including his \u00a340million exit from Leicester.<\/p>\n
Asking her first question of the interview, Arsenal fan Woods began: \u201cAnother thing that Ally and me I think share is a real joy of watching you play football. <\/p>\n
"It\u2019s not just football; obviously we love your interviews and your personality in general. Which is why, the question, why Spurs? Like why did you decide to go to Spurs? Come on!\u201d<\/p>\n

Maddison turned to McCoist and shook his head before exclaiming: \u201cDidn\u2019t take long! Didn\u2019t take long that, did it? Arsenal fan, Laura, in case we didn\u2019t know.\u201d <\/p>\n
While he said that, Woods added: \u201cCongratulations first and foremost, I\u2019m only jealous because I wanted you to come to us! Honestly, though, congratulations."<\/p>\n
Maddison continued: \u201cListen, you get to\u2026 you didn\u2019t mean that, did you [laughs]?" Before Woods joked: "I did."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
While some saw it as light-hearted banter, other Spurs fans didn't take it as well. One tweeted: "Laura Woods is pathetic. Not only is this childishly bias and unprofessional, it clearly made her guest and co-host uncomfortable."<\/p>\n
"This is so unprofessional and disrespectful to Maddison," similarly argued a second. A third quipped: "Classy as ever from Laura Woods."<\/p>\n

And a fourth sarcastically questioned: "Has Laura ever appeared on camera and not mentioned she\u2019s an Arsenal fan\u2026 so weird."<\/p>\n

Many came to Woods' defence, with one replying: "Mate I'm a Spurs fan and even I can see this is a joke. Life will be more fun if you lighten up a bit." Another added: "Just having a laugh with him why take it so seriously."<\/p>\n
