I left my wife RAGING after cancelling luxury holiday to Mauritius to watch Arsenal win Premier League… now we won’t
AN ARSENAL fan has gone viral for leaving his wife RAGING and cancelling the holiday of a lifetime to watch his side win the Premier League – only for it to backfire spectacularly.
Sunday’s shock 3-0 home defeat to Brighton has left the North London club’s title dream in tatters.
Manchester City will be crowned champions if the Gunners lose their next game at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Even if Arsenal win their two remaining games, City will still win the league if they win at home to Chelsea next Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s side have been in top spot for the majority of the campaign and even had an eight-point lead just weeks ago.
And that left one supporter so confident that his team would become champions for the first time since 2004 that he cancelled a family holiday in order to witness it.
The Gooner took to Twitter way back on January 31 and wrote: “About a year ago, my wife & I booked a family holiday to Mauritius, leaving 26 May.
“I recently found out our final home game is Wolves on 28 May. I had to cancel our holiday.
“MY WIFE IS RAGING. Too scared to go home.
“We better win the league. Pray for me.”
That tweet has now resurfaced following the recent collapse in form by Arsenal handing the advantage to City.

And fans have been showing little sympathy, with one responding: “Hope you inserted a buy back clause on that holiday mate.”
Another tweeted: “This aged badly.”
A fellow supporter said: “A moment of silence for our fallen man.”
While another joked: “My prayers are with you, hope the divorce goes smoothly.”
