Rumble at the Emirates

Rumble at the Emirates

Tension boiled over at the Emirates yesterday as some Arsenal fans exchanged blows over anti-Arsene Wenger protests.

A VIDEO posted on Twitter during Arsenal’s home match with Manchester City yesterday appeared to show Gunners supporters fighting amongst themselves.

The video was accompanied by the words “More fans fighting at the game” with sleeping emoticons, indicating how such scenes have become depressingly common for Arsenal fans so far.

About 1,000 Arsenal fans joined an anti-Wenger march before the game, the biggest such protests against the Frenchman.

Earlier in the day, Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis admitted the team’s slump in the last six weeks had been a “catalyst for change” at the club.

Although the match finished 2-2, Arsenal fans took to Twitter to express their displeasure at their team’s form.
