It was a heart-wrenching day for Arsenal fans as they watched their team narrowly miss out on the Premier League title in a thrilling race that went down to the final round of games. The Gunners did their part by beating Everton, but their hopes of lifting the trophy were crushed when Manchester City secured a 3-1 victory over West Ham.
To make matters worse, Arsenal supporters were fooled by rumors of a West Ham equalizer at the Etihad. As City's two-goal lead was reduced by Mohammed Kudus, word began to spread that David Moyes' side had leveled the score at 2-2. This sparked massive cheers and celebrations at the Emirates, with one fan even gesturing with their hands that the score was 2-2.
However, it was all in vain as the commentary team on TNT Sports clarified that the rumors were false. "There are rumors going around here, as you can tell from the crowd's reaction, that West Ham have scored again," they said. "I can tell you that isn't the case."
Needless to say, rival supporters had a field day mocking Arsenal fans over the incident. @lfc6775 couldn't resist a dig, saying, "Loooool. And to think, the best Arsenal team in 20 years is currently just [seven points] ahead of a Liverpool team in transition. And yet Arsenal fans are saying they're moving in the right direction."
Meanwhile, @LeeJamescord wondered if all the fans who had left after Arsenal went 1-0 down had made their way back in. And Chelsea fan @Billychapple couldn't help but point out the irony of Arsenal needing their London rivals to do them a favor in order to win the league.
This wasn't the first time Arsenal had experienced heartbreak in the title race, as they also narrowly missed out on the title the previous season after leading the table for a record 248 days. Needless to say, it was a tough pill to swallow for Arsenal fans.
But even in the midst of the disappointment, there were some positives to take away from the season for Arsenal. They had shown great progress and were moving in the right direction, as many fans and experts alike had noted. And with a strong team and determined mindset, they could surely bounce back and compete for the title once again.
Unfortunately, rival fans will always be quick to mock and make fun of their rivals' misfortunes. But as true fans, we must stick by our team through the ups and downs and continue to support them. Who knows, maybe next season will be our year.
