WEST HAM striker Michail Antonio has criticized Arsenal fans, calling them 'delusional' and admitting that they annoy him. Arsenal is currently sitting at the top of the Premier League table after winning their last eight matches and scoring 33 goals.
Antonio speaks out
Michail Antonio has had enough of Arsenal fans thinking they are 'the best team in the world'. Despite West Ham's 2-1 victory over Arsenal in December, Mikel Arteta's side responded with a resounding 6-0 win last month. Additionally, Arsenal secured their spot in the Champions League quarter-finals after defeating Porto 4-2 on penalties.
Antonio's frustrations
Speaking on The Footballer's Football Podcast, Antonio expressed his frustration with Arsenal fans, accusing them of being delusional. He mentioned how the fans quickly proclaim Arsenal as the best team in the world whenever they are performing well, which he finds unbelievable. Antonio also recalled his agent calling him a 'waste man' after West Ham's victory over Arsenal last year.
Reactions from fans
West Ham supporters seemed to agree with Antonio's sentiments, with one describing Arsenal fans as 'the most annoying fan base'. Another fan pointed out that Arsenal's achievements in the past decade have been minimal. However, an Arsenal fan fired back, highlighting Arsenal's dominant performance against West Ham in their recent encounter.
Despite the backlash, it appears that Arsenal fans are still vocal and optimistic about their team's chances for success in both the Premier League and European competitions.
