KFC UK and Ireland couldn’t resist taking a dig at London clubs Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur following their recent poor form in the Premier League.
In reply to a comment on its free delivery promo on Twitter following Arsenal’s shock loss at Sheffield United, KFC UK and Ireland joked that its delivery record proved that it was much more reliable than the Gunners.

Despite the positive response from opposing fans, Arsenal supporters were obviously less than pleased.

That goodwill, however, did not last long.
