Piers Morgan joined ecstatic Arsenal fans in declaring that the Gunners can win the Premier League despite Manchester City’s “bubble bursting.” Their 1-0 triumph at Leeds was followed by City’s 1-0 loss at Liverpool, as both Premier League matches were marred by drama and controversy.
And, while famous Gunners supporter Morgan claims to be “trying to keep cool” about their championship hopes, he definitely isn’t. It is their ninth victory in 10 Premier League games this season extended their lead at the top, while second-placed City lost for the first time.
Fans Reaction to Piers Morgan tweet after Arsenal’s win against Leeds
Piers tweeted, “OMG. Four points clear… City’s bubble bursting“. “I’m trying to stay calm, and I know it’s still early days… but ARSENAL MAY ACTUALLY WIN THE BLOODY PREMIER LEAGUE”. A City follower replied, “We lose at Anfield every year. No bubble is bursting”.
The Gunners fans were displeased with his comments and raged him in twitter. However, Morgan’s upbeat answer caused scepticism among many admirers online, with others claiming it was far too soon to be thrilled.
One fan said, “You didn’t support the boys the last 18 months. You pushed a dirty agenda to get Arteta out & failed. You may be an Arsenal supporter in your head but you’ll NEVER be one of us you“.
Another tweeted, “Proving yet again how poor your judgement is”.
A third said, “Thought arteta was a fraud and get him out?”
