Arsenal Fan TV favourite Claude Callegari may well have been speaking for a number of Gunners fans when demanding for the Cesc Fabregas flag to be taken down from the side of the Emirates Stadium.

Fabregas, who left Arsenal for Barcelona in 2011, has been enjoying an impressive return to English football in the blue of Chelsea, leaving some Gunners fans questioning why his image still adorns the stadium's Ken Friar Bridge.

Known for his Arsenal-related rants, Claude asks: 'I want to know why that is still on the bridge?

'He kissed the badge when they lifted the cup last week. Why is that still on our bridge? It's a disgrace. Take that down.'

Fellow Arsenal Fan TV contributor, Ty, argues: 'It's part of our past. Remember we are civilised.

'We are not like Chelsea. I think Cesc is wrong. If you don't love the badge, why say you love the badge? Just be truthful.'

Fabregas is set to start against his former team on Sunday as Jose Mourinho's side travel to the Emirates in search of three points against their nearest Premier League rivals.

If Chelsea win at the Emirates, they will need just one more victory to officially claim the 2014-15 Premier League title.
