Pastor Compares Death, Devil To Arsenal Fans: Much Noise But No Trophy (Video)

A pastor has created online controversy after likening Arsenal Football Club supporters to death and the devil during a recent sermon, drawing mixed reactions from netizens and football fans alike.

In a now-viral video circulating on social media, the unnamed preacher is seen delivering a fiery message to his congregation when he made a surprising analogy. He said, “Death and the devil may be loud and boastful like Arsenal fans, but they still end up with nothing to show—no trophy.”

The unexpected reference to the Premier League club drew laughter from his congregation, but online, the clip has triggered a wave of reactions. Many saw it as an unprovoked jab at Arsenal fans, who are known for their passionate support despite the club’s recent struggles to clinch major silverware.

Arsenal, though competitive in recent seasons, has faced repeated heartbreaks in its bid to lift the Premier and Champions League title, often falling short despite strong starts. The pastor’s comment appears to tap into this narrative, portraying the team’s efforts as ultimately fruitless—much like, in his words, the efforts of death and the devil.

While some social media users found the sermon humorous, others—especially Arsenal supporters—accused the pastor of using the pulpit for football banter.

As the clip continues to trend, many are debating whether such comparisons belong in a religious setting or are simply harmless humor. Either way, it’s clear the pastor’s message has reached far beyond his church walls.
