Former Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel, has claimed that if Arsenal fails to win the Premier League this season, it would be the biggest disaster in the history of the competition for the Gunners.
Obi Mikel stated this while warning Arsenal about “bottling” the Premier League title this term.
The former Super Eagles captain was speaking on the Obi One podcast after Arsenal on Monday after Arsenal suffered a major blow in their Premier League title race with Manchester City at the weekend.
Recall that Arsenal suffered a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth at home as Man City thrashed Chelsea 3-0 to cut the Gunners’ lead at the top of the table to six points.
“These Arsenal players, they have to understand that this is their probably, if they don’t win it (Premier League) this season. It’s probably going to be the biggest disaster in the history of the Premier League for them,” Obi Mikel said.
“It’s going to be the biggest disaster for them because right now, if they had won that game [against Bournemouth] on Saturday. It will be 12 points.
“They took their foot off the gas over the weekend, and Man City came right back, and right now it is 6 points.”
