It’s meltdown in North London — and Michael Owen isn’t holding back.
The former England striker has launched a brutal, no-holds-barred attack on Arsenal after their title dreams were left in tatters by Manchester City.
And his verdict? Total collapse.
“I’d be fuming if I was an Arsenal fan,” Owen blasted. “You lead the league for most of the season, then when it really matters… you vanish. That’s bottling it. Simple.”
In a season where Arsenal looked destined to finally end their long wait for Premier League glory, the script has flipped in dramatic fashion — with City lurking, striking, and now ready to snatch the crown yet again.
Owen didn’t stop there.
He ripped into Mikel Arteta and his squad, accusing them of crumbling under pressure when the spotlight burned brightest.
“To put in a performance like that in the biggest game of your lives? Spineless. Absolutely unacceptable,” he fired.
And then came the knockout blow.
“Second place again? That’s not progress — that’s embarrassing. Four times? Come on.”
Owen even took aim at Arsenal’s growing reputation off the pitch, branding them “Netflix FC” — a team heavy on hype, but missing the killer instinct when it counts.
“Plenty of drama, plenty of cameras… but where are the trophies?” he sneered.
As Manchester City edge closer to yet another title triumph, the heat on Arteta and his players is reaching boiling point — and the “nearly men” tag is sticking harder than ever.
North London is burning — and Arsenal fans have heard it all before.
