Piers Morgan made an audacious joke yesterday about Arsenal’s future. After the Gunners lost the Carabao Cup final 2-0 to Manchester City, the Arsenal superfan delivered a shocking twist on the quadruple dream.
🔥 Quick Facts
- Arsenal’s Loss: Manchester City defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final on March 22
- Morgan’s Joke: Proposed a new quadruple: Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Tottenham relegated
- Spurs Crisis: Tottenham lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest on the same day, deepening relegation fears
- Current Status: Arsenal leads Premier League by 9 points but trophies are still months away
The New Quadruple Is Born From Ashes
Piers Morgan attempted to lighten the mood after Arsenal’s heartbreaking cup exit. While the traditional quadruple became mathematically impossible, the broadcaster reimagined what success could mean for the Gunners. His proposal included winning the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup while simultaneously watching Tottenham experience relegation. The idea went viral across social media within hours of his announcement.
Arsenal fans at the Bobby Moore Room at Wembley had already shown their desire for this outcome. Whenever Nottingham Forest scored against Tottenham later that evening, loud cheers erupted. When Forest secured their 3-0 victory, Morgan reported an almost standing ovation occurred.

Arsenal Still Hold Premier League Title Race
Despite the Carabao Cup loss, Arsenal’s league position remains commanding. Manager Mikel Arteta‘s side sits 9 points clear atop the Premier League standings. Manchester City trails but has games in hand, meaning the gap could narrow to just 6 points with 7 matches remaining. This would be Arsenal’s first title since their legendary “Invincibles” campaign in 2003/04.
Arteta has steered the club to consistent title challenges but has endured 6 seasons without winning a major trophy since taking over. The Premier League represents the most realistic path to breaking this drought in 2026.
The Road To European Glory And Cup Final Glory
| Competition | Status | Next Fixture |
| Champions League | Last 8 vs Sporting CP | April 2026 |
| FA Cup | Quarter-finals | TBA |
| Premier League | 9 points clear | 7 matches left |
Arsenal faces Portuguese side Sporting in the Champions League quarter-finals. European glory has eluded the club for 23 years, though they reached the Europa League final in 2019. In the FA Cup, the Gunners advanced to the quarter-finals and will face Southampton from the Championship.
Arsenal’s last major trophy came in May 2020 when they won the FA Cup. The Premier League goal remains elusive for this generation of players.
“My dream of the quintuple has sadly collapsed. Now, we can only settle for the quadruple: winning the Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup, and Tottenham getting relegated from the Premier League. Let us rally together, let’s rally, go forward and win.”
— Piers Morgan, Arsenal supporter and broadcaster
Tottenham’s Nightmare Scenario Becomes Real Possibility
Tottenham Hotspur faces unprecedented pressure at the bottom of the table. Igor Tudor’s side currently occupies 17th place with 30 points, just 1 point above 18th-placed West Ham United. The club last experienced relegation in 1977, nearly 50 years ago. Arsenal fans would celebrate such a historic moment for their longest rivals.
The remaining fixtures for Spurs are daunting. Three of their final 7 matches are against teams currently in the top eight competing for European spots. Leeds United, another relegation-battling side, awaits on their fixture list. Odds on Tottenham relegation have been boosted to 25-1 by betting operators.
Will The Ultimate Arsenal Fantasy Really Come True?
Piers Morgan‘s joke carries a kernel of possibility but remains highly unlikely. While Arsenal’s three trophy hopes are realistic, Tottenham’s mathematical chance of going down exists but requires catastrophic collapse. Many Premier League insiders dismiss Spurs’ relegation as improbable, though stranger things have happened in football. Arsenal fans must focus on their own ambitions before dreaming of rivals’ demise.
Whether Morgan’s quadruple becomes reality depends on Arteta’s players delivering in April, May, and beyond. The real test starts now with Champions League football and Premier League title pressure mounting simultaneously.
