An AFTV star has claimed Mikel Arteta is into the 'final weeks' of his Arsenal reign after their Premier League title hopes were dented by a 2-1 home defeat by Bournemouth.
Arsenal fans had booed at the final whistle at the Emirates after Mikel Arteta's side slipped up at home, with nerves growing as they aim for a first league title since 2004.
The Gunners could have gone 12 points clear at the top with a victory, which would have piled pressure on their closest challengers Manchester City.
Their lead remains at nine points, but Man City have two games in hand and meet Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium next week.
Despite still being in a strong position, well-known Arsenal fans have raged following the setback as fear grows that they could finish as runners-up for a fourth straight season.
Well known AFTV star Lee Judges furiously claimed on the fan channel post-match that Arteta's time at the club is coming to an end, despite suggestions this week that contract talks are heading in a positive direction.
'We are now in the last few weeks of Arteta,' Judges claimed to host Robbie Lyle. 'I have spoken to one of the most positive fans around and he said "he's gone".
'I don't really know where to go from that. The team set-up is wrong, I don't see how you can keep rewarding players for performances and still play.
'I couldn't stand it no more Rob, I had to walk away. I didn't go out of the ground and there were thousands, thousands walking out.
'You are at home against Bournemouth going for a title, God has come down to you and said "You've had it hard for 20 years, i'll give you a gift of Newcastle at home, Bournemouth at home.
'By the time we play Newcastle, guess how many points were will probably be clear... none.
'If City win tomorrow it has gone mate.'
Arsenal fans fears have grown following a disastrous couple of weeks, with Arteta's side first losing the Carabao Cup final to Man City to end dreams of a quadruple.
The Gunners returned from the international break in the FA Cup, but suffered a shock quarter-final exit to Championship side Southampton.
Arsenal bounced back by earning a 1-0 win over Sporting Lisbon in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, but defeat to Bournemouth has set the nerves jangling again.
Troopz (real name Aumar Hamilton), formerly one of AFTV's stars, exploded with rage on his own YouTube channel after the Gunners fell 2-1 behind in the second half.
'Oh my days man, f*** off,' Troopz was heard shouting on his live stream as he jumped off his chair in anger at conceding.
'We are getting opened like a tin of beans on the f***ing pitch,' he added, while taking aim at several Arsenal stars for apparent mistakes in the build-up to the goal.
Oasis singer Liam Gallagher, one of Man City's most well-known fans, poked fun at Arsenal as he highlighted the growing pressure on the Gunners.
Gallagher shared a meme featuring a child with an Arsenal badge superimposed over them attempting to run away from their shadow, featuring the Man City badge, before stumbling over.
Man City will have the chance to close the gap to six points on Sunday when Pep Guardiola's side face Chelsea.
Arsenal will then travel to the Etihad next to face Man City in a potentially pivotal match in the title race.

Arteta has done his best but the players themselves they don't have that hunger for winning or fighting. and this style of playing from the back is no more working at all, it is only Gabriel that is active at the back and in midfield no one is taking the ball forward like always they all keep on passing it back again and again.
Arteta,,ought to have replaced white sharply,, mosquera would have done better,,Raya greatly contributed to winning goal today,,is like arsenal doesn't have a leader on d pitch. slow build up from the back is no longer working,,zubimendi does not no what to do anytime he gets the ball( confused).

arteta is the weakest coach in the premier league..his style of is weak, he don't play attacking football. even those teams in the relegation zone they play attacking football, their team's just don't have quality players. it's time for arteta to go somewhere even though he win the league or not. they bought player's for him but his still using those old players that cause him the league 3 time. i think the club is big for him and he don't have experience .
we should sack him

For me, I think Artera is the best coach in the premier league after Guardiola. People forgot that Arteta is still young in coaching, he did not spend the way United, City, Chelsea or Tottenham had did since Arteta joined Arsenal. As we are speaking, Arsenal is the team that hold most valuable players by Transfer Market. I personally, I would have Arteta another chance even if he bottle again this season. Further more, why Arsenal fan are so furious with Arteta, how many years Arsenal didn't touch the EPL trophy or even came cross as a second runner before Arteta joined? Arteta is the closest coach after all those years, be thankful. You will never know what position Arsenal will have after Arteta, its not that Arsenal is Bayern, Real M or City, so calm down. And get this, am a United fan, and I appreciate Arteta.
you're not an arsenal fan please 🙏. This pigheaded coach

Arsenal fans are in panic mode when they’re up they’re up and when they’re down they’re down and soon they will be only half way up then they’ll be neither up nor down

stupid Arteta, havertz in midfield is big big big mistake
Replacing Xhaka in his best season with Havertz is a big mistake it cost us 2 titles replacing Partey with Zubimendi too is a bad decision only an amateur and stubborn coach does that

Another mistake again in his set-up, why you start with Martinel he's always good coming as a sub, Havertz instead starting with Eze , Ben White not good enough to win big games..
it ain't that straight forward. Players too need to step up and deliver if the coach trusted you to start a game. Even the subs made no difference

Fans are right to express their frustration but they should still support the team till the end. I know the tone will change if Arsenal beat city at the Etihad and I think that's the most probable way the team can redeem itself. Sporting return leg at the Emirate? I don't think fans care more about that as much as winning the EPL.
