Gazidis 'over-achievement' claims infuriates Arsenal fans

Arsenal's annual general meeting took place on Thursday and tensions were at boiling point as supporters did not take kindly to comments from the chief executive.

Last season, the Gunners failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in 21 years last season, and they haven't won the Premier League in 13 years, with their only trophies in the last decade being three FA Cup victories.

The club have struggled to replicate the success from Arsene Wenger's first decade in charge at Arsenal, and as such pressure has started to pile on the French coach in recent years, with many fans calling for him to leave.

At the AGM, the board once again backed Wenger to bring improvement and Gazidis made a bizarre claim that Arsenal are overachieving.

He said: "It is very simply to compare team performance by a series of objective metrics, usually league position or points, against expenditure on transfers.

"No club has a perfect record every year under this scrutiny but Arsenal has probably been, of the big clubs certainly, the most consistently over-performing team over time."

These comments certainly irked the supporters who were in attendance at the meeting, and it ended on a sour note with fans booing.
