As one of the most famous Arsenal fans in the UK, Piers Morgan now finds himself in an uncomfortable spot. Recent results have changed the mood quickly.
However, things looked very different just a few weeks ago. Fans spoke about a possible quadruple with full confidence. Also, the belief around the club felt strong and steady.
But that optimism has now taken a serious hit. Arsenal first lost the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City. The performance in that game raised a few early concerns.
Meanwhile, the situation became worse over the weekend. Mikel Arteta’s side suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat to Southampton. That result knocked them out of the FA Cup in the quarter-finals.
As a result, the mood around the club is shifting sharply. Now, the confidence is turning into doubt. Many fans now feel uneasy at a crucial stage of the season.
At the same time, Arsenal still sit nine points clear at the top of the Premier League. There are only seven games left to play.
However, Manchester City still have a game in hand. They will also host Arsenal at the Etihad on April 19 and that fixture could decide everything.
Transfer News Live already reported that Manchester City are planning something unique with their stadium to prepare for the final few games of the season including the game against Arsenal.
Meanwhile, City carry strong momentum after their League Cup win. On the other hand, Arsenal seem to be losing control at the wrong moment.
Now, the red half of north London will face Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday.
Earlier in the season, some fans believed Arsenal had benefited from favourable draws. However, the loss to Southampton has ended that argument.
Amid all this pressure, Piers Morgan got an invitation to appear on talkSPORT to speak about Arsenal’s current form during a Monday morning show.
However, his response said everything about the situation at Arsenal. Morgan replied:
“I’d rather shoot myself.”
That single line perfectly sums up the growing frustration. If Arsenal cannot get their form back, their wait for a trophy may be extended further.
