Well, that was... something. Former Man United defender Patrice Evra has gone off teh deep end again with another one of his unhinged social media rants. This time, the 43-year-old Frenchman decided Arsenal's Champions League semi-final defeat to PSG was the perfect moment to compare their failure to interrupted sex. Yes, you read that correctly.
I watched the match last night with my Arsenal-supporting mate who's still not answering my texts this morning. Poor bloke. The Gunners crashed out 3-1 on aggregate after losing 2-1 in Paris, and within minutes, Evra was already recording another one of his infamous videos.
What the hell was he thinking?
Evra started off reasonably enough, expressing sympathy for his "good friend" Arteta and the Arsenal players. But then... God. The man just couldn't help himself.
He launched into this absolutely wild metaphor about Arsenal fans being like someone having sex who gets interrupted right before "putting some seed" (his words, not mine) and getting "really frustrated because you want to make a Premier League or Champions League baby."
Just let that sink in for a moment.
The Netflix Joke That Won't Die
Of course, he also trotted out his tired "Netflix" jibe again - you know, the one about Arsenal fans always waiting for "next season" like it's the next episode of their favorite show. He's been flogging that dead horse since 2022, and apparently thinks it's still comedy gold.
I actually met Evra at a charity event back in 2019. Seemed perfectly normal then. What happened?
Donnarumma: Arsenal's Nightmare
Lost in all this bizarre commentary is the actual match itself. Arsenal weren't terrible - Donnarumma just decided to transform into prime Buffon for 90 minutes. The Italian keeper made save after save, including some genuinely world-class stops that had me jumping off my couch (and spilling £4 worth of takeaway curry on my carpet... still trying to get that stain out).
Fabian Ruiz and Hakimi scored for PSG, while Saka managed a consolation goal for Arsenal before blazing a golden opportunity over the bar that could've made for an interesting final few minutes.
Arteta's Delusion Level: 100
In typical fashion, Arteta somehow claimed Arsenal were "the best team in the competition so far" despite, you know, literally being eliminated. His exact words: "I don't think there has been a better team in the competition so far."
My colleague who covers Arsenal regularly texted me after that press conference: "Is he watching the same matches as the rest of us?"
The defeat means Arteta's trophy drought will extend beyond five years since that 2020 FA Cup win. But hey, there's always next season, right?
Rio's Hospital Bed Response
Even Rio Ferdinand, who missed covering the game for TNT Sports after being hospitalized (hope you're feeling better, Rio!), found enough energy to comment on Evra's unhinged video with a simple "Broooooo" and some laughing emojis.
The video has already racked up 1.9 million views. Because of course it has.
Listen. I'm all for banter and rivalry, but Evra's metaphors are getting increasingly... uncomfortable. Like that weird uncle at family gatherings who doesn't realize when he's crossed a line.
And yet I still find myself watching every single one of his videos. What does that say about me?
What's Next For Arsenal?
For Arsenal, it's back to focusing on the Premier League title race - their last chance at silverware this season. Though if they bottle that too, I can only imagine what bizarre bodily function Evra will compare it to next.
As for Evra himself? The former defender is apparently preparing for an MMA debut. Perhaps getting punched in the head professionally might actually make his analogies more coherent.
I'm kidding. Sort of.
Frequently Asked Questions
How has the Premier League evolved since its creation?
The Premier League's evolution has been significant since its creation in 1993. It started with a breakaway of the Football League for a lucrative TV rights deal.

What makes up the Premier League?
The Premier League is distinguished from other European leagues by several factors, including its global appeal, financial strength, and competitive depth. The league has a vast international audience and lucrative television rights deals. Premier League games are also unpredictable. Lower-ranked teams may have a chance to beat top sides on any given gameday. The intensity of the stadium atmosphere and the fast pace of the game also contribute to its unique identity.
Is there a financial regulation in place for the Premier League?

These rules require that clubs limit their losses and make sure they do not outspend their revenues from football activities.

What is Premier League?
Premier League is a top-tier English football league. It's also one of most popular and highly competitive domestic leagues. It is played by twenty teams and follows a system of promotion/relegation in conjunction with the English Football League. The teams compete annually, with each team playing 38 matches (home and away), and the season typically running from August to May. The Premier League has a global following and is known for high-quality football.
How does the Premier League determine its winner?
The Premier League's winner is the club that accumulates the greatest number of points during the season of 38 games. A team receives three points if they win, one for a draw and zero for losing. If both teams end the season on the same number points, the champion will be determined based on the goal differential and if required, by the number of goals. If the teams remain level, they may use a match at a neutral stadium to decide the championship. This scenario has never been seen in Premier League.
