Jamie Carragher insists Arsenal lack the necessary skills to win the Premier League
Jamie Carragher has claimed that he does not see Arsenal winning the Premier League title because they don't have what it takes.
He wrote on social media as reported by the Sun, “Arsenal’s letter and even the Liverpool statement a few weeks ago (they had a genuine bad one v them) are wrong. Do it privately.
“If I was Howard Webb I would stop apologising to them and get on with it. Managers and players make far more mistakes than refs!”
A furious Arsenal supporter, however, took exception at the two's evaluation and responded, “Arsenal should just tell Sky Sports that both Carragher & Neville are both banned from The Emirates.
"It’s our property so we’ll invite who we want inside it. Thank you very much.”
However, Neville quickly recognized the irony and seized the chance to make light of the fact that Tottenham, Arsenal's neighbours in North London, are now two points ahead of them in second place in the standings.
He replied, “To be fair with Spurs top now we will be coming less anyway.”
If Tottenham defeats Chelsea at home on Monday, they might take back the top spot and move two points ahead of Manchester City.
