Arsenal Fan TV's Robbie Lyle gave a rousing 'Captain America speech' before Arsenal's thrashing at Manchester City - it's not aged well.
Ahead of Arsenal's crunch game at the Eithad, Robbie spoke about the belief of earning a result in their pursuit of the Premier League title.
He told Arsenal fans not to lose their faith as he called on them to get 'behind the boys' while referencing their title-winning victories at Old Trafford, White Hart Lane and Anfield over the years.
But Mikel Arteta's outfit succumbed to Pep Guardiola's side on Wednesday as they lost the league encounter 4-1.
