Divided Arsenal fans on Tuesday afternoon have been reacting on Twitter to the latest comments made by controversial former player Paul Merson.

Merson made 212 appearances as an attacking midfielder for the Gunners in 12 years after graduating from the academy, scoring 39 goals.

But since, the 50-year-old has been ever-outspoken about his former club and clearly upset some fans with his latest remarks, while others appear to completely agree with him.

Appearing on Sky Sports show The Debate, the ex-England international was quoted as saying, in a dig at the perceived lack of ambition from the owners of the North London club in recent seasons “Manchester United will make an effort to win the league next season. They’ll buy players. Arsenal won’t.”

Opinions from Gooners about the quote have ranged from beliefs that Merson’s stating the obvious to admissions that the pundit’s words should be given about as much thought as he puts into them, none at all! If one thing’s for sure, though, they have certainly split a fan base.
