Pastor Compares Devil to Arsenal Fans After Another Trophyless Season

• Arsenal have not won a major trophy since their FA Cup triumph under Mikel Arteta in 2020, despite finishing second in the Premier League in the last two seasons
• A pastor went viral after comparing Arsenal fans to the devil, saying they “make loud noise without a trophy”
• The Gunners’ trophy hopes were dashed this season after exits from the Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup

A pastor has gone viral for making fun of Arsenal supporters during a church sermon, likening them to the devil. He claims they are loud, without real power or reward.

The remarks come in the wake of yet another trophyless season for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta.

The North London club last celebrated major silverware in 2020 when the Spanish tactician guided them to an FA Cup victory.

Arsenal's silverware struggles continue

Since then, the North Londoners have shown signs of progress but have repeatedly fallen short in big moments.

Arsenal finished second in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons (2022/23 and 2023/24), unable to break Manchester City’s or, most recently, Liverpool’s title-winning runs.

Their Champions League hopes were dashed in the semi-finals this season, as they were convincingly beaten by Paris Saint-Germain both home and away.

Domestically, their FA Cup campaign ended in the third round at the hands of Manchester United, while Newcastle United stopped their Carabao Cup journey in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, they could also lose their grip on second place in the league if Newcastle United win their final two games.

What the Pastor said about Arsenal

In a now-viral sermon, the pastor compared Arsenal fans to death and the devil, drawing laughter from his congregation.

“Death and the devil may make loud noise just like Arsenal fans, but without a trophy,” he said, poking fun at the club’s tendency to celebrate progress without silverware to show for it.

Mixed reactions from fans

The video has sparked debate online. Some Arsenal fans were quick to criticise the pastor’s remarks, calling them unfair, while others acknowledged the humour—even if it hit a little too close to home.

"Yeah, we've not won a major trophy in 5 years (we won the community shield in 2023 against Man City), but people are starting to talk about us like we're Tottenham."

@Gorilla23mp added:

"This man should be arrested, he can't disrespect Arsenal and go Scot free."
