A section of Arsenal fans have attributed their failure to lift the EPL trophy to the ‘Kim Kardashian’ curse.

Some Gunners fans have said Kim Kardashian is to blame for their failure to usurp Manchester City from the Premier League title.

Many Arsenal fans believed the Gunners would finally end their 19-year wait for a first Premier League title since they last won it in the 2003/2004 season.

Arsenal Title collapse

Despite leading the title race and staying in pole position for about 248 days, the Gunners could not maintain that ascendency.

A poor run of form towards the tail-end of the season, coupled with Manchester City’s rich vein of form, saw the league title elude the Emirate clubside.

When they lost 1-0 away to Nottingham Forest courtesy of a Taiwo Awoniyi strike, it ended Arsenal’s glimmer of hope and handed the league title to Pep Guardiola’s team.

It was the third time in a row and five times in the last six years that Manchester City have been crowned champions of England.

The social media influencer, 42 was at the Emirate in March to watch the Gunners take on Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League.

Sadly, after a 1-1 draw and extra-time, the Portuguese outfit knocked Arsenal out on penalties winning 5-3.

Furthermore, since then, the Gunners have drawn three and lost three matches in the ten games following her visit.

Social Media fans react

Following her visit, the Gunners dropped crucial points, which ultimately culminated in Arsenal surrendering the Premier League title to Manchester City. 

One fan said: “The fall of Arsenal started when she visited the Emirates, I’ll never forgive you Kim Kardashian.”

Another added: “Since the day Kim Kardashian went to the Emirates Stadium to watch Arsenal, I knew they would crash out of the Europa League and bottle the Premier League. The Kardashian curse!”

A third fan tweeted: "Arsenal would’ve lifted the prem by now if it wasn’t for Kim Kardashian."
