‘Arsenal fans live in La La Land’ – Simon Jordan rips into Gunners supporters over treatment of Granit Xhaka

https://ift.tt/2WhqNdW

Simon Jordan has claimed Arsenal fans have a false sense of entitlement following their treatment of captain Granit Xhaka on Sunday.

The Gunners midfielder reacted furiously to being booed off by large sections of the Emirates faithful during the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

And while many have condemned Xhaka’s response, in which he cupped his ear and swore at fans, the supporters have also been criticised for their treatment of one of their own.

Xhaka hit back at Arsenal fans for booing him

And former Palace chairman Jordan believes the attitude of some Arsenal fans stems from unrealistic expectations.

The talkSPORT host said: “Arsenal are suffering from a situation which is that they cannot compete with clubs like Manchester City and they cannot compete with Liverpool.

“They’re being judged by those standards now because they were once there.

“If you close your eyes and really think about what Arsenal are, what they’re spending and how they’re investing their money, I think Arsenal fans are living in La La Land now.

“Just because they had it ten/fifteen years ago, doesn’t mean they’re entitled to it now.

Xhaka’s outburst at the Emirates Stadium made all the headlines

“When they talk about flakiness, some of their fans are flaky.

“Every time Arsenal play, this switchboard lights up like a pinball machine. It’s like watching something from Tommy.

“Arsenal fans and Arsenal Fan TV seem to take the most delight from being as vitriolic and as damning of their side, when five days ago they could’ve been third in the league.

“There is an element and a section of Arsenal fans that are equally as flaky as those players on the pitch.”

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
