Chelsea legend sparks online debate with trophy-laden throwback and cheeky caption. John Terry has ignited fresh banter between Chelsea and Arsenal fans after posting a sly dig on social media aimed at the Gunners’ iconic Invincibles squad.
On Saturday, the former Chelsea captain shared a photo of himself lifting the Premier League trophy, cheekily captioned: “Normal Saturday afternoon for me”.
While he didn’t mention Arsenal by name, football fans instantly picked up on the reference — a clear jab at the North London club’s unbeaten 2003–04 season.
The Invincibles vs. Consistency Debate
Arsenal’s Invincibles remain the only team in Premier League history to go an entire campaign without a single loss. It’s a feat that’s celebrated regularly by Gunners supporters, especially as the club marks the 20th anniversary of that legendary season.
But Terry, never one to shy away from a bit of football banter, seemed to suggest that winning the title multiple times, as he did, speaks louder than going unbeaten once.
Terry captained Chelsea to five Premier League titles during his career, helping the Blues dominate English football for much of the 2000s and 2010s. And while Arsenal fans proudly cling to their Invincibles status, Chelsea supporters were quick to back their skipper.
“Five titles > one unbeaten season,” wrote one fan in the comments. Another added, “Levels, mate. Absolute levels.”
Arsenal fans, on the other hand, were quick to defend their historic run, calling it a unique and unmatched accomplishment. The post sparked heated debate across platforms, with fans arguing over which is more impressive: sustained dominance or unbeaten glory.
Terry’s post might have been just another trip down memory lane for him, but its timing, humour, and subtlety reignited one of the Premier League’s classic rivalries.
It was just a “normal Saturday afternoon” for John Terry, but for football fans, it was anything but.
