West Ham United forward Michail Antonio has mocked Arsenal fans for their over-the-top delusion about their team, despite his agent, family, and friends being members of the Gunners’ fanbase.
The 33-year-old, in a recent interview with the BBC, described how Arsenal supporters annoyed him by being too quick to lavish praise on their team.
Antonio decried the “unbelievable” levels of delusion among Arsenal fans, whom he believed went overboard in their assessment of their club.
“Arsenal fans…They annoy me. I’m talking about my agent, my family and friends. Because as soon as they are tiptoeing close to anything, they’re ‘the best team in the world’ – it’s actually unbelievable how delusional these people are,” he said.
