The fallout of Arsenal’s surprising FA Cup quarter-final exit at Southampton on Saturday night has continued, with some of their supporters fearing the worst for the rest of the season.

The Gunners suffered a 2-1 defeat on the south coast with Shea Charles’ 85th-minute winner seeing the Championship side progress to the FA Cup semi-finals.

Arsenal have now suffered back-to-back defeats in all competitions, either side of last month’s international break, having lost 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City at Wembley.

Those results have seen their quadruple dreams halve with the Premier League and Champions League now to play for.

Arsenal remain in the boxseat in the former, as they sit nine points clear of City on 70 points – albeit having played a game more. In the Champions League they travel to Lisbon to take on Sporting in the first leg of their quarter-final on Tuesday night.

But despite going well in the Premier League and Champions League, one of their celebrity supporters believes Arsenal could end the season empty-handed.

Jack Whitehall is among Arsenal fans fearing the worst after their FA Cup exit on Saturday 

After losing 2-1 at Southampton, Whitehall fears that the Gunners may end up empty-handed

Taking to X on Saturday night, comedian and actor Jack Whitehall bluntly wrote: ‘I actually think Arsenal might f*** everything’, with his caption accompanied by an ‘eek’ emoji.

Piers Morgan was another vocal about his beloved club, posting on X at half-time when they were trailing 1-0 at Southampton courtesy of Ross Stewart’s strike: ‘Do you actually want to win any trophies @Arsenal? Such a poor, lacklustre half.’

His mood did improve when Viktor Gyokeres equalised in the second half, but his frustrations came to the fore with the full-time result and then again on Easter Sunday morning.

With the latter, he wrote: ‘Not exactly in a celebratory mood’ in a quote post of Arsenal wishing all of their fans a happy Easter that celebrate it.

His posts have since seen him mocked by rival fans who are revelling in the club’s two most recent results.

One Chelsea supporter shared a video of actor Jim Royle, played by actor Ricky Tomlinson, just laughing from a scene of the hit comedy The Royle Family.

A Manchester City fan mocked up an AI image of an apple crumble rebranded as ‘Arsenal crumble’ too.

It wasn’t just his most recent tweets that Morgan was mocked for though, with Southampton digging up his post from March 9.

Southampton also teased another Arsenal fan on X after their FA Cup quarter-final victory

On that day, Morgan declared it was a ‘Great draw for Arsenal’ in relation to their quarter-final tie and in response on Saturday night, Southampton merely put a picture of Charles’ face celebrating at the full-time whistle.

They also teased another Arsenal fan who labelled their victory as a ‘Fluke win’ by replying back: ‘Enjoy your quadruple, pal’.

Southampton can look forward to a FA Cup semi-final later this month when they’ll face either Chelsea, Liverpool or West Ham United/Leeds United.

Jack Whitehall had a star-studded stag do over the weekend, with a famous group of faces helping him celebrate his upcoming wedding to Roxy Horner. 

The comedian and actor, 37, wore a blow-up crown to designate him as the man of the hour as he and a group of pals gathered at 3pm at the Devonshire pub to get some drinks in before the night’s festivities. 

His pals included former footballer Jamie Redknapp, presenter James Corden, and ex-rugby player Lawrence Dallaglio.

James, 47, and Jamie, 52, worked with Jack on Sky’s sports-comedy panel show A League Of Their Own.

Hollyoaks star Charlie Wernham was also in attendance and posted pictures of the evening to Instagram, including a snap of him posing with Jack, an image of the whole group together, and a video clip of Jack putting during mini-golf.

The group eventually moved to the infamous club in Soho, The Box, which often features cabaret and other naughty entertainment, before ending the evening with a round of mini-golf at Swingers.  

The party ended at the Soho Hotel bar, with the friends getting some more pints in before calling it a night. 

Jack is set to marry fiancee Roxy, 37, in just a matter of weeks. 

The pair went public and made their romance official at the start of lockdown in the UK in 2020 when she moved into his London home.

Jack previously admitted that although the decision to move in together ‘accelerated’ their relationship, they did miss out on doing ordinary things like restaurant and cinema dates.

Speaking on the Couples Quarantine podcast, he said: ‘Weirdly that was quite nice because we spent a lot of time together and it accelerates the relationship in a way.’

In May 2023, Horner announced she and Whitehall were expecting their first child on Instagram. In September of that year, their daughter, Elsie, was born.

‘Well, this just happened!’ Whitehall wrote at the time. ‘Utterly overwhelming and joyous in ways I couldn’t have even imagined. In awe of my partner @roxyhorner who has been amazing throughout this journey and is going to be the greatest mum ever.

‘So excited to have started a family of my own. Having vowed I’ve never be that guy I am now 100% going to be the parent that shows everyone endless pictures of their kid. I also wore sketchers to hospital, I think I must accept I am a full-blown dad now.’

Wedding bells are now ringing for the couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024.

Sharing some sweet snaps from the moment Jack popped the question, the couple look overjoyed after becoming fiancees.

A source told The Sun that the pair were going into Christmas as ‘an engaged couple’. They added: ‘They could not be happier together and are looking forward to planning their wedding.’

Details of their upcoming wedding haven’t been shared by the couple, but Horner sparked rumours that the ceremony could be soon after sharing a video of herself trying on dresses.

In November 2025, the bride-to-be shared a video montage of her trying on numerous wedding gowns, captioning the clip: ‘Come wedding dress shopping with me.’

On a recent appearance on The Jonathan Ross show, Whitehall also couldn’t hide his excitement about tying the knot.

He said: ‘I’m very excited – it’s going to be great. It’s the first time our families are ever coming together. 

‘I’ve met her family, but my family have not met her family. ‘My family, and it will come as no surprise to you, are a bunch of gilet wearing chinless toffs and her family are proper cockney, all West Ham fans, proper salt of the earth.’
