Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
๐ฃ๏ธ โI 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.โ
@Dunphy_Rhonan@TrueGrassroot Great battles mate! Gutted we never got to see you in the yellow and blue of Hoppers, we certainly tried enough times to get you down ๐๐๐
@GroundHoppersFC Cheers brother, that team that ripped up the Met(set so many records) was special, I will never forget you boys.๐๐. โค๏ธโค๏ธ
@TrueGrassroot Thank you mate! True gentleman, not many guys like you left unfortunately! Youโre right about Paul Patten, Absolute legend! The only reason GroundHoppers ever existed! ๐๐
Really sad to see another #SundayLeague team fold, @GroundHoppersFC have called it a day. I have such great memories of them, going back to their Met. League days and the legendary Paul Patten, what a great football person. Will miss you all guys๐ขโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
