Jason Cundy issues official statement after infuriating Arsenal fans with PSG celebrations

Jason Cundy has something he wants to say.

The talkSPORT co-host found himself at the centre of a social media storm over the weekend.

Some considered Cundy’s antics on Saturday night to be in poor taste…

Cundy faced a furious backlash from the Arsenal fanbase after celebrating their defeat in the Champions League final.

Dressed in a PSG shirt alongside Aston Villa legend Gabby Agbonlahor, the ex-Chelsea defender was filmed going ballistic as Gabriel’s decisive penalty sailed over the bar.

To make matters worse, Cundy was then broadcast to millions in a Mikel Arteta mask, mocking everyone associated with the club, including Win The Dog.

Ex-Arsenal winger Perry Groves called him ‘shallow’ live on air, leading a wave of widespread criticism across the Gunners community.

Addressing his actions, Cundy read out an official statement on Monday’s episode of The Sports Bar.

He said: “This is an apology to Arsenal Football Club and their fans. A lot has been made of the celebrations Gabby and I did at the weekend and I know it’s upset a lot of people.

“My best mate’s a Gooner. He messaged me this morning and said, ‘You’ve gone too far, Jase’.

“I think we don’t realise sometimes the platform and the reach we have. It was just a little bit of fun. Didn’t mean to offend, did not mean to upset. That was all it was.

“Me and Gabby got it wrong. We make mistakes and you move on and you learn from it. I know what it’s like.

“I thought at the top of the show, the only right thing to do was to apologise and say sorry…”

OH COME OFF IT NOW

“TO ABSOLUTELY NOBODY! NOBODY!” Cundy screamed, channelling his inner Conor McGregor.

“The double Champions League winners Chels can say what we want!

“Right, get your big boy pants on, you Gooners! I’ve heard you whinging and cringing! ‘Oh, he wore a top to work I didn’t like, oh, he celebrated a goal against our team’.

“You lot moaning like a six-month old with nappy rash. Absolute wet wipes, the lot of you!

“If it happens again tomorrow, I would do it again tomorrow!

“You lot, spitting your dummy out. Whinge and Cring FC. You never fail to disappoint.

“The most universally disliked side in modern memory.”

Cundy then burst into a rendition of his favourite song.

“You’ll never sing that,” he chanted. “You’ll never sing that. Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that.”
