Jamie Carragher has claimed he can’t ‘escape’ Arsenal fans at the moment while taking another dig at the Gunners for ‘over-celebrating’. 

Mikel Arteta’s side received plenty of criticism following their statement 3-1 win over Liverpool earlier this month.

The Gunners boss was spotted celebrating on the pitch after the win at the Emirates Stadium, while his reaction to Arsenal’s third goal was also a talking point.

Martin Odegaard also came under fire from Jamie Carragher after the Arsenal skipper was spotted taking pictures with the club’s photographer after the game.

The Liverpool legend told Odegaard to ‘get down the tunnel’ and naturally, Carragher has received some backlash from Arsenal fans. 

Now, Carragher has aimed a fresh dig at the Gunners and it’s fair to say that Micah Richards disagrees with his latest claim. 

Carragher makes another claim about Arsenal

Speaking on CBS Sports, Carragher appeared to aim a fresh dig at Arsenal after their ‘over-celebrations’ in recent weeks.  

“I played for the club, I didn’t play for any managers, I let everyone enjoy the glory when they were winning things,” he said.

“I have seen your celebrations when you won the Champions League! They were all in front of the camera,” Richards responded.

“Well, I’m allowed one,” Carragher explained. “I never over-celebrate. There are certain teams in England who do that.”

And Richards fired back after Carragher’s latest swipe at Arteta’s side.

“Oh here we go,” the former Manchester City man said. “Arsenal, again, we’re talking about. Let it go, Jamie.”

“Everywhere I go, Arsenal fans,” Carragher went on. “You’re one of them! There’s no escape from these Gooners is there.”

“Proper club,” Richards responded.

Much has been made of Arsenal’s post-match celebrations after the win over Liverpool.

Gary Neville has warned Arteta’s men about wasting energy by becoming too emotionally invested.

But to Arsenal’s credit, they backed up that win over Liverpool by thrashing West Ham 6-0 last weekend.

Arteta’s side seem to be finding their best form at an ideal time and in our view, they should be able to celebrate their wins as they see fit.
