Paul Merson, that muppet, reckons he knows how Arsenal fans feel after watching their team bottle a two-goal lead against Aston Villa. The Gunners had the chance to close the gap on Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, but instead they crumbled like a house of cards.
Arsenal fans fuming after Villa draw
It's no wonder the Arsenal faithful were losing their minds at the Emirates. They watched their team score twice, only to let Villa peg them back with goals from Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins. Now they're six points behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand. It's a proper kick in the teeth for Mikel Arteta's men.
Merson's verdict on Havertz handball
Merson, who's never been shy about voicing his opinions, couldn't believe that Kai Havertz celebrated a late goal that was rightly disallowed for handball. The former Arsenal man was quick to point out that the rules are clear – if it hits your hand, it's not a goal. Havertz looked like a right mug for running off and celebrating.
Arsenal's title hopes hanging by a thread
With every game that passes, Arsenal's title hopes are looking more and more like a pipe dream. They've got a tough run of fixtures coming up, starting with a home game against Wolves and then a massive test against Manchester City. If Liverpool win their game in hand, they'll be nine points clear at the top. It's hard to see how Arsenal can claw that back.
The beautiful game can be a cruel mistress, and right now Arsenal fans are feeling the full force of her wrath. They'll be hoping that their team can turn things around quickly, but with the way they're playing at the moment, it's hard to see that happening. It's going to be a long, painful season for the Gunners faithful.
