Arsenal Fans Mock John Terry After Carabao Cup Drama

Arsenal fans wasted no time mocking Chelsea legend John Terry after he shared a video of himself watching the tense finish of the Carabao Cup semi-final. The clip, meant to capture a potential Chelsea comeback, instead went viral for all the wrong reasons when former Blue Kai Havertz sealed Arsenal’s 4-2 aggregate win, sending the Gunners to Wembley and delighting their supporters.

Arsenal Fans Revel in John Terry’s Misfortune

John Terry, a Chelsea icon and former captain, took to TikTok on Tuesday night, filming himself in the closing moments of Chelsea’s battle against Arsenal. With the Blues trailing 3-2 on aggregate during stoppage time at the Emirates, Terry set up his camera, fervently hoping for a last-minute equaliser. But instead of jubilation, the video immortalized Terry’s stunned reaction as Arsenal broke away and Havertz netted a dramatic goal in the 97th minute, effectively ending Chelsea’s Carabao Cup run.

‘Full Kit W*nker’ Jibes Flood Social Media

While Terry explained in his caption that he had just returned from coaching Chelsea’s youth team against PSV, fans couldn’t resist poking fun at his decision to lounge at home in full Chelsea tracksuit. Arsenal fans quickly dubbed him a “full kit w*nker,” a phrase that trended as supporters shared footage and memes lampooning Terry’s disappointment.

On Twitter, the mood was summed up by @TKohHock: “John Terry is a full kit wanker.” Another Arsenal fan, @flourish007, wrote, “I had mad respect for Terry until tonight. He really thought Chelsea could pull off a miracle—then Havertz shattered his dreams. Now? I love him even more for that priceless reaction!” Many enjoyed seeing a Chelsea legend visibly deflated by Arsenal’s late-game heroics.

John Terry’s Reaction: Hope Turns to Disbelief

In the viral video, Terry is visibly anxious as he cheers on Chelsea, urging, “Just over a minute to go… come on lads!” When Havertz scores, Terry’s face drops. Clinging to hope, he insists, “He’s offside… surely he’s offside?”—but the reality quickly sets in. As social media users replayed his anguish, one joked, “Rumour has it, John Terry is still wondering if it was offside.”

Chelsea’s Defeat Ends Winning Streak

The loss to Arsenal snapped Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior’s five-game winning run. The Blues must now refocus as they prepare for a crucial Premier League fixture against Wolves. A top-four finish remains in sight, but the Carabao Cup exit stings for club and fans alike.

Arsenal, meanwhile, advance to the final and are keeping a close eye on the ongoing semi-final between Manchester City and Newcastle. City, holding a 2-0 first-leg lead, are favorites to join the Gunners at Wembley, promising an exciting cup finale.
