An Arsenal fan been left red faced after a tweet from January resurfaced when he revealed he had cancelled his family holiday to watch the Gunners win the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta's side have been in pole position to lift the title for the majority of the season, spending 245 days at the top of the table.
However, their form has dipped in recent weeks and their challenge imploded on Sunday as they were beaten 3-0 by Brighton thanks to goals from Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav and Pervis Estupinan.
It leaves the Gunners four points off Manchester City having played a game more, meaning City could win the league next weekend.
Following the defeat, the aforementioned tweet from January 31 resurfaced from the Arsenal supporter which said: '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.'
At the time of the tweet, the Gunners were five points clear of Pep Guardiola's side, having played a game fewer and looked like they would win their first Premier League title since 2004.
However, despite stretching their lead to eight points by the end of March, a dismal April followed which has ultimately cost them.
Despite beating Leeds on April 1, they drew three successive games to Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton, before being thrashed 4-1 by City to hand them the initiative in the title race.
