Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.
The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.
That tells you everything.
Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.
For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.
Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.
Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.
Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.
The jealousy was obvious.
The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.
That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.
The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”
Chelsea fans were out here celebrating conceding 3 goals to Man City just to sabotage Arsenal’s title hopes, at the expense of their UCL or Europa League qualification. Now their best players are getting dropped from the World Cup, and they’re suddenly complaining😂. First Joao Pedro & Estevao, now Cole Palmer.
Actions have consequences, innit? 😂
Day 2 of waking up as a Champion. Even my dreams last night were different. I don’t know how people can comfortably go to sleep and wake up in the morning knowing their clubs are trophyless. Like what do you even dream about?
Trophyless teams disgust me.
Arsenal fans, if you’re feeling “it’s okay. The celebrations are enough, let’s rest the matter”, just imagine what the entire world would have done to us if we bottled the league this year.
Think about that then start your celebrations afresh.
We appreciate your efforts in trying to tell us how to celebrate but a Lion does not concern himself with the opinions of a sheep.
Know your place in the food chain. Stay guided.
