Shameful scenes

Are you Luis Suarez in disguise?

It’s bad enough that Arsenal have reached 2009/10 season levels of throwing away the league while it was there for the taking without the fans bringing shame to the club.

The Gunners’ poor form continued on Sunday as they drew 1-1 with 16th place Crystal Palace at the Emirates.

Following the lacklustre performance, a video of an Arsenal supporter having an altercation with some stewards has been gathering momentum. The uploader of the video claims that fan being filmed bit the steward during the confrontation, while there have been several reports on social media that at least one Arsenal fan was arrested outside the stadium after the match.

The alleged biting incident happened as some Arsenal fans clashed with security in a tunnel in the North Bank of the Emirates Stadium. As shameful as the scene is, we can’t help but crack a smile over the one Gooner who quickly gave up trying to intervene and looked away from the kerfuffle with an expression on his face that said “Really, this shit again?”
