‘I love seeing Arsenal and Man Utd collapse, my ties to Chelsea make it sweeter’
Former Chelsea star Wayne Bridge has admitted that he relishes seeing Arsenal and Manchester United falter.
Both the Gunners and the Red Devils have had a shaky start to the season, with Mikel Arteta's team now in fourth place in the Premier League table after Newcastle handed the north London side their second loss of the season on Saturday. Despite being heavily favoured to win the title this season, Arsenal are currently without a win in their last three league matches.
On the other hand, United fans might be feeling more optimistic after the dismissal of Erik ten Hag and the appointment of Ruben Amorim. However, they're currently languishing in 13th place in the table with just three league victories this season – and it could get worse against Chelsea this afternoon.
Despite the struggles of his old adversaries, Bridge has little sympathy for the two clubs. Adding insult to injury for Gunners' supporters, the former England defender also admitted he took pleasure from Arsenal's late collapses in their last two title challenges.
Arteta have been unable to topple Pep Guardiola's supremacy at the top of the Premier League after losing out in consecutive title races to Manchester City. And Bridge gets a major kick out of seeing his old rivals stutter.
