Man City fans think Arsenal are copying them as they spot detail on training ground wall

talksport.com, 16 August 2023, 09:55
Eagle-eyed Manchester City fans have noticed a familiar-looking display on the wall at Premier League rivals Arsenal's training ground.

The Gunners completed the loan signing of Brentford goalkeeper David Raya on Tuesday, with the club giving the fans an insight into their new glovesman's arrival at Colney.

But whilst Arsenal fans were swooning over the Spaniard holding a red and white shirt, their Man City counterparts were distracted by something in the background.

Last season, Jack Grealish's BeReal post revealed Pep Guardiola's side had an image of the Champions League trophy - a piece of silverware they went on to win - on the wall at their training ground.

'Our Goal.' was also written about the photo, showing the image was used to motivate the players ahead of their bid to win the treble.

Now, fans have spotted Arsenal have a very similar-looking poster on their wall at the training ground.

Through the window of Arteta and Edu's office is images of the FA Cup, the Premier League and the Champions League trophies - all honours the Gunners will be aiming to pip Man City to this season.

But Man City fans are now cracking jokes about the display, stating the Gunners 'want to be them'.

"They're a cringe version of us," one fan replied.

"They have no shame!" another said.
