Their must be 8k Koln fans in the Arsenal ends - they all celebrated when they scored and then the Arsenal fans went mad and started on them and got loads thrown out.

Arsenal will never live this down. Social media has seen their fans complaining about a dirty seat, being scared, all while they have been taken over by the opposition who have got their tickets from Arsenal fans.
Gentrification of the working man's game is complete.
The ramifications of tonight will be interesting.

Arsenal Tarquin's and Rupert's get tough by calling over the stewards :lol:

Before s/t's to watch Arsenal costs £2k, they used to have working class supporters.

We're so uptight in this country. If several thousand home fans prefer to make money than support their team then they shouldn't cry about it when the away fans out think, sing and perhaps even fight Islington's 'finest'. A memorable night, Arsenal are nothing better than a hollow corporate masquerading as a football club and have been well and truly embarrassed tonight. That's all an Inquiry will find - might as well save the cost of!

An Arsenal spokesman explained... "It was a bit confused at first but we became aware of a problem once there was singing in the home end. That doesn't normally happen.."

With no home fans, who's going to wave the giant club-owned plastic flags?

Plastic club, just a money making machine for Kroenke these days.

It has to be said that the Germans do invasions incredibly well, then make a lot of noise and behave badly, but eventually, after a tough battle, the opposistion will pull through and win.

Brighton factually.....
What's all the fuss about there's loads empty fecking seats, easy enough to fit another 17,000.

Listen....

3-1 up and no noise from Arsenal, shameful.

My mate is there supporting his home town of Cologne, they have great support proud passionate nothing more than a few idiots nothing on the scale most English teams can muster abroad to shame the country.

Complete none story

Time for UEFA to ban English clubs from Europe again, obviously. Trouble at an English ground - so we must be the problem. Five years this time?

"20,000 Cologne fans gained entry, the scene was fevered and edgy but largely peaceful as supporters intermingled in the stands. It really could have been so much worse given the numbers involved, and the state of intoxication of the Cologne fans who seemed to have spent most of yesterday drinking high-strength Belgian lager in various spots around central London."

"What could Arsenal have done differently? In the past England fans and media have been critical of police abroad kettling or herding or even lobbing gas canisters. Here the visitors were largely well behaved, the response of police and club sensible, if a little strained, and with a sense of having been taken by surprise, for all the warnings."

Arsenal ST pal of mine said loads of them had got Red Membership (lowest level of club membership) then simply bought tickets online legitimately, hence the away fans being spread all over the ground. Club didn't pick up on the surge of new applications with German names from German ip addresses and no previous purchase history was needed to get a ticket.
