The bottling job - Social media users troll Arsenal after losing top spot to Man City in PL title race
L-R William Saliba, Declan Rice, and Jorginho
Some football fans on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) have mocked Arsenal following their defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday, April 14, 2024.
The Gunners' title hopes took a huge hit after a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa at Emirates Stadium.
The defeat means Arsenal, who have led the table for the majority of the season, now sit second, two points behind reigning champions Manchester City with six matches remaining to end the season.
The North London side have 71 points after 32 games, losing five and drawing five games.
Some rival fans believe there is no coming back for Arsenal after losing the top spot to Man City, who are in for a fourth consecutive title.
Others argue that if City win the Premier League for the fourth time in a row, it will settle the debate about the league being overrated.
A few others channelled their trolls at Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, claiming that despite being in charge for five seasons, he has yet to achieve anything substantial or significant.

If Man City wins the EPL again we can all conclude it’s a farmers league and Pep is farming. How can someone win a league 4 times in a row and you want to tell me it’s competitive ????????.

Pep Guardiola won 6 trophies in first season at Barcelona and they said that was in La Liga.

He went to Bayern and had success there, they said it was a farmers league.
Now in the EPL he is about to win it for the fourth straight season.
They can’t seem to say anything now. pic.twitter.com/aSxQHvrlI3
Pep couldn’t win Laliga for 4 consecutive times but look how easy it is for him to do that in the Premier League

Arteta's spent 600m but has only won 1 FA Cup?
— Manchestericonic (@manchestriconic) April 14, 2024
But I thought spending money guaranteed success?
They said Arteta was a better coach than don Xavi Hernandez

Xavi Hernandez that won a league Title for Barca on a limited Budget his first full season as manager of the team.
The disrespect Xavi has received from media is crazy
Xavi Alonso just won a league title unbeaten at Leverkusen. Forgive me if I am not blown away by Arteta's 4 year odyssey of nothingness. https://t.co/nuCb1A6jbX
