Oh come on, you know the rules:

Dutch/Germans/Swedes/Scots chanting and signing = Passionate festival of support
English fans chanting and signing = Hooligans

Just realised I put signing, I have been on NSC too long with the sing/sign thing :blush:

Cologne fans throughout the stadium - can't see how this can be played tonight.

And that is down to Arse 'fans' selling on their tickets. And with a mere 3K allocation, as a Kolny, if you could buy you would buy.

Fine or points deduction, I wonder?

BBC Sport text commentary (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/40855029)

"Currently in the home end at Emirates - away section (corner) full and in full voice. Hundreds of people joining in the singing in the adjacent section behind the goal that should be for Arsenal supporters. Can only assume they are Cologne fans."

"Usual seat, clock end upper, surrounded by Germans"

"The Cologne fans are all over the Emirates, they're meant to have the three thousand seats behind one goal but it's become very apparent that they're pretty much in the whole lower tier at that end.

There is a riot police segregation in the middle of that tier but it's Cologne fans either side of it."

"I'm currently sitting in the North Bank, diagonally opposite the away end, yet seem to be surrounded almost entirely by Cologne fans. Not sure how that's been allowed to happen."

Considering the repercussions and the clear message to fans who choose to flog their tickets to away fans, it will be interesting to see how Arsenal deals with the perpetrators. It has to be a ban surely? A few thousand bans even?

Let's face it; there'll be more than a few herberts not happy at the Germans taking liberties & will be looking to save their rep'. You might not want to hear that, but that's how it is. If it doesn't ko inside the crowd, it will for sure outside, during & after. Lot of over time for OB tonight!

Reminds me of when Harlequins played Munster in a European Cup quarter final and Munster fans took over the ground.

There's only one way they can get the tickets.

It will be interesting to hear what Arsenal have to say about how so many tickets in the home end ended up in away fans hands.

To be fair, they did have their towels on the seats at 6 this morning.
