Tensions Flare as Keown and City Fan Clash Over Brighton Rout
Arsenal legend Martin Keown found himself in a heated exchange with a Manchester City fan on talkSPORT’s White & Jordan Show.
Keown Criticizes Brighton’s Performance
Keown took aim at Brighton following their 4-0 defeat to City, suggesting they “rolled over” with a lackluster performance.
Manchester City Fan Defends His Team
This criticism sparked outrage among Manchester City fans, with one supporter, Anthony, calling in to express his disagreement. “Normally I agree with you completely,” Anthony began, “but you sound ridiculous today!”
Keown Defends His Viewpoint
Despite acknowledging City’s quality, Keown maintained his stance. “Look, I take nothing away from Manchester City,” he said. “But what were you really up against last night? Honestly, how naive were Brighton?”
The Conversation Heats Up
Anthony challenged Keown, suggesting bias towards Arsenal. “Have you got your dummy out of sorts? Does this happen with Arsenal when they win?”
The conversation escalated further when co-host Jim White asked the City fan about the title race. “Seems inevitable,” the fan replied, prompting a strong reaction from Keown.
Keown Accuses City Fan of Arrogance
“Arrogance!” Keown exclaimed. “Don’t forget the struggles when you weren’t winning everything. Have some respect for the competition! I applaud City’s football, but this reeks of arrogance.”
While tensions ran high, the exchange ultimately highlighted the passionate nature of Premier League fandom.
