It's safe to say Michail Antonio has a love/ hate relationship with Arsenal fans.
The West Ham United forward admitted to being annoyed with supporters of the Gunners, particularly his family, friends and agent.
Antonio was recently on a podcast when he joked about how deluded Arsenal fans are.
The Jamaican international talked about how Arsenal fans annoyed him because as soon as they were getting close to winning anything, they acted like they supported the best team in the world.

"It's unbelievable how delusional these people are," he joked.
He explained that his agent, who was an Arsenal supporter, was upset with him for scoring against the Gunners last season when they were topping the table.
Arsenal fans may not be happy with Antonio's comments, but they aren’t the only fanbase he’s had something to say about recently.
As noted by Football London, Antonio apologised to Liverpool’s fans and players after he suggested at the start of the season that the Hammers would finish above the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp’s men are in second place on the Premier League table, while West Ham are only seventh.
"At the beginning of the season I said a comment. It was a bit wild. It was very wild. I said that there was a possibility that West Ham could finish above Liverpool this year. I'm not going to lie, I said it was my chest.

It’s not just Antonio who is annoyed with Arsenal fans and their recent reputation for over-celebrating.
Jamie Carragher previously took issue with the Gunners fanbase, as did Rio Ferdinand, Sports Brief reported.
