What happened
After Manchester City's 3-0 win over Brentford on May 9, Pep Guardiola left his press conference by crossing his arms above his head and shouting, "Come on you Irons!" The gesture was a public nod to West Ham ahead of Arsenal's May 10 visit to London Stadium. The moment was amplified on social media after Fabrizio Romano posted the clip.
Why it matters
The chant matters because City trail Arsenal by two points with three league matches left, so any Arsenal slip would reshape the Premier League run-in. It also reinforces Guardiola's earlier public appeal to West Ham as the title race tightens entering the final weeks.
