“West Ham”, one could say, was one of the reasons why “Arsenal” didn't triumph in the Premier League last year.
“Hammers” striker Michail Antonio recalled on his website a situation when he was criticized even by his own agent, who is an “Arsenal” supporter.
M. Antonio said: “Arsenal” fans... they annoy me. I'm talking even about my agent, family, and friends.
I say this because as soon as they are close to some title, they become the “best team in the world”. Sometimes it's unbelievable how much they can be dreamers.
Last year, when we beat “Arsenal”, they were at the top of the table. My agent, who has been with me for 19 years, called me and called me a traitor! He said to me: “Why did you have to do this to me? We have been waiting for this for a long time.”
