A model dubbed ‘Arsenal’s biggest female fan’ is vying for a spot on the team’s newly-announced dating show to match up with fellow Gooners.
Despite attending almost every match and boasting millions of followers, Arabella Mia says men think she’s “too hot” to be a football expert.
But with the upcoming launch of ‘The Big Match’ – which will see single Arsenal fans enjoy blind dates at the Emirates stadium – the 27-year-old is determined to prove men wrong and hopefully find love in the process.
She has taken to TikTok to share the reasons why she should be selected for the show.
“Arsenal needs me on that dating show way more than they need a striker right now,” said Arabella, who boasts over 361K followers on Instagram @greengirlbellauk, and has a dedicated Arsenal Tiktok page @arsenalbellauk.
“I literally go to Arsenal games to get laid.
“Not only that, I think I’ve proven my point that I know everything about Arsenal.
“I literally go there every single week.
“I can literally go from talking football tactics, to calling out and roasting your biggest icks in seconds.
“I feel like I’m fun.
“Also, pretty much every Arsenal fan has already seen me naked, so they don’t even need to wonder what’s underneath my clothes.”
The Premier League club’s docu-style series ‘The Big Match’ will pair up fans on blind dates that revolve around Arsenal games.
The concept will be to see if any strong connections are made over the course of the 90-minute matches.
In her future Mr Right, Arabella is set on finding a fellow football lover but she anticipates some heated discussions.
Arabella said: “Women are never really taken seriously as football fans but it’s even worse when men find you attractive.
“Men often think I’m too hot to be a proper fan.
“But I have followed Arsenal closely for years and my knowledge is just as good as – if not better – than any man’s.
“Getting on the show will be my chance to prove once and for all that I’m a legitimate fan.
“But I hope to find love, too.
“Although, dating a fellow Gooner is definitely going to result in some heated debates!”
Although the model says Gooners are the “sexiest” football fans, she won’t shoot down a potential love interest who supports another team.
Except for Tottenham fans, that is – the Spurs are a no-go due to the long-standing rivalry.
She said: “I’ve been to loads of home and away games for different teams, and I would say that Arsenal has the most attractive fan base that I’ve seen.
“I can’t count the amount of times I’ve been at the stadium and had to do a double take when I’ve seen someone hot.
“Outside of the stadium, before a match, you can often find me filming for my Arsenal Instagram page, and I approach guys that I like the look of to get their number.
“It works 99% of the time – unless they have a girlfriend, obviously.
“So I definitely have a preference for Arsenal fans.”
Arabella also finds Gooners more trustworthy as they have had to “prove their loyalty” while supporting the team during rocky seasons.
She added: “With Arsenal fans more than any other team, you really do need to have a very strong sense of loyalty to be able to support them.
“And you’ve got to be able to deal with stress, because that’s all they’ve given us for the last 10 years or so!
“So Arsenal fans already have those elements that make a good relationship – I know I can trust them.”
