Chelsea legend John Terry has mocked Arsenal for their over-the-top celebrations after their win in the Carabao Cup semi-final this week.
The Gunners beat the Blues 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium to secure a 4-2 aggregate victory and book their place in this season’s Carabao Cup final.
Terry, however, has hit out at the way some of the Arsenal players celebrated at the end of the game, reminding them that it’s not like they’ve made it to the Champions League final.
The former Chelsea captain also fired a warning that it looks like Arsenal are showing some signs of nerves with that kind of reaction, with Liam Rosenior’s side actually arguably out-playing them in their meetings this season.
John Terry hits out at Arsenal on social media
Posting on his TikTok account, as quoted by the Metro, Terry played down Arsenal’s achievements and suggested they could still slip up if they really are feeling the pressure.
“I just want to talk on Arsenal’s celebrations after… let’s not forget, it’s the Carabao Cup, it’s not the Champions League final,” Terry said.
“They celebrated far too much for me, I think that showed the pressure that’s on them at the moment.
“I’ve said it before, Arsenal are looking the best team by far in the Premier League so far and I think they’ve got the best squad in the Premier League so far.
“They’ve got a lot of strength in depth and I think they’ve been the best, but also, it certainly wasn’t the Champions League final that they’ve qualified to, it’s the Carabao Cup final.
“Yes, it’s the first competition you can win, I think it’s really important, but that just showed me where the Arsenal team are at at the moment.
“They can feel the nerves and I know every Arsenal fan out there is feeling what I’m feeling, that there’s still a chance.”
Can Arsenal win the lot this season?
Arsenal fans probably won’t care too much about what Terry thinks right now, with their club riding high on all fronts.
Mikel Arteta’s men are six points clear at the top of the Premier League, in the Carabao Cup final, and still in the Champions League and FA Cup.
At this point, there seems a very good chance of Arsenal winning both the Premier League title and the Carabao Cup, and some fans will be dreaming of lifting those other two remaining trophies as well.
Realistically, AFC probably don’t quite have the squad depth for that, given their injury record in the last couple of years, but it’s also hard to see them slipping up like they have in the past, so there will surely be at least one major trophy heading to the Emirates in the months ahead.
Of course cheating John Terry would say that as he is now also part of the celebration police. I saw him celebrate a league win that had not implications on the league like they won the champions league. But now he tells others how to celebrate. Go back to cheating John you good at it
John Terry will even be more frustrated after Arsenal beat Sunderland to go 9 clear. That’s how people lose respect. I didn’t know this highly respected personality could go this low. It’s a shame!!!
Ah! John Terry….
another member of the Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd “over the hill” gang.
A group of has been’s who make their money by running down Arsenal!
I disregard what these “pundits” say, because it is nearly always detrimental, with nothing more than the pundits bias opinions.
John Terry is the worst of a very poor bunch. He can’t even get a job as a coach, let alone a manager, so what does he really know…..
I seem to remember, each of the last three seasons, when we played beautiful football, we were pilloried for not being pragmatic enough.
This season we are pilloried for being too pragmatic
So, the bottom line is
“They are just Jealous”
