Television broadcaster Piers Morgan took to Twitter after the Transfer deadline day to send a message to Chelsea supporters. In a tweet, Morgan reminded the Chelsea fans that their club is currently 10th in the league and 21 points behind leaders Arsenal.

The media personality said on his timeline, “Reminder to Chelsea fans: we’re top of the League, you’re 10th, and we’re 21pts ahead of you with a game in hand. “So spend all the gazillions you want but what you REALLY need to buy is a telescope to look up at Arsenal.”

Piers Morgan’s tweet was to criticise the recent spending spree by Chelsea during the winter transfer window. The Blues broke transfer records by spending more than £320 million to bring in some of the top prospects from around the world.

However, despite all their spending, Morgan’s tweet reminds Chelsea fans that their team is still far from the top of the league and that they will need to do more if they want to catch up with Arsenal. He suggests they need to buy a telescope to look up at Arsenal, highlighting the gap between the two teams.

The SUN news anchor’s tweet has created a buzz on social media and has sparked discussions about the current state of the league and the two teams involved. Whether one is are a fan of Arsenal or Chelsea, one thing is for sure – this tweet is sure to be a talking point for a while.

John Terry, former Chelsea Captain, had the perfect response to Piers Morgan’s Twitter dig. The 42-year-old, known for his sharp wit, fired back by saying “You have gone missing for 20 years! And you still have a long way to go… I have won more trophies since I retired playing golf than Arsenal have.”

The British journalist however was not one to back down as he replied to Terry’s tweet by saying “Pipe down ‘Tiger’ Terry… it was only 18 years ago that Arsenal went unbeaten in a whole League season (incl stuffing Chelsea, led by you, home & away…). So the only thing that’s ‘missing’ is the word Invincible’ on your CV….”

The Former Aston Villa assistant manager, who retired from professional football in 2018, has since turned to golf and has been making waves on the putting green. He has won several amateur tournaments and has even represented England in international competitions.

Banter has been part of the beautiful game since its inception and jokes between fans indeed show love for their respective clubs. However, all sets of fans will have to agree on one thing – the transfer window spending by Chelsea has certainly set the bar high for the rest of the season. Whether the new signings will live up to the hype remains to be seen.
