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.”
And people hyping Naman Dhir have to calm down a bit coz he has just flattered to deceive. No match winning knock throughout the IPL and a lot of dropped catches which have hurt the team badly.
Look at DDP in RCB! Those are the guys who deserve hype.
Desr lord. Thank you for making me a rational fan of these absolute legends of Indian cricket..and not a blind fan.
How can the same set of people that had an issue with Dhoni not shaking hands in 2024 (which was also wrong) now suddenly are trying to validate kohli-head issue.
I am the last person in this country who will take Head's side given how much trauma he has given me as a fan. But for me it is plain simple..if you give it on the field...take it back..and then it should all be put aside when the 40 overs are done.
All this rage should have been sjown on 19th November when we were too soft to him when he was playing and missing 10000 times.
Millions look up to you..you had such a beautiful interview of late where you gave perspective on your test future and all that..the whole country is with you.
To then do something so petty is pretty hard to defend. Whole over when Venky was hitting sixes, you basically gestured head to either come and bowl or impact sub himself out.
Do you expect an aussie to keep quiet then? The same aussie who produced the innings of a lifetime under extreme pressure with 1 lakh 50 thousand Indians baying for blood at 47/3?
Never in my life did I think I will habe to highlight Travis Head's perspective.
Those who think i have an issue or agenda with Virat Kohli can please go and check my pinned post.
Role models of Indian cricket should certainly do better. I absolutely love a fired up kohli but when 40 overs are done..the gentleman has to be out.
Millions even billions get influenced by what you do. Head can only dream of the kind of influence you can have on a whole country.
Once again, Thank you lord for giving me that perspective always to call out the wrong, no matter then whoever did it or however big the name is.
Playoff between these 2 sides will definitely give us more perspective.
