Sounded like fat **** to me

Fair enough, seems a lot of people seem to think that.

Edit - turning it up loud, I'd have to agree the guy said fat.

Did anyone else see the guy outside the gates at the northern end of the east stand completely losing his shit because the stewards wouldn't let him back in to go to the loo? Truly bizarre.

Saw some stupid fuck-head in the West Stand (North end) get kicked out of the ground because he tried to get to Ozil at a corner they had around the 30-35 minute mark I think.

I was pretty sure I saw a coin go in Özil's general direction from Block 30 or 31 when he came over to take a corner, but they didn't say anything about it on MoTD so I must have been mistaken.

Coins were thrown. Whoever did it should be banned for life.

Shame. There're some right fucktards around.

On the 40 sec video posted you can hear some one call him a "black ****".

That's the only thing I picked up on. One individual as opposed to a group. (Not trying to defend that person however, poor form).

I've heard it said that what was said was "fat" and not "black". That's not to say we don't have racists amongst our fan base, because to say otherwise would be gormless.

She's not wrong!

Watched on it the box yesterday, it was SO loud, the best atmosphere I've ever heard at The Lane! Well done to all those that went, you did us proud!

COYS

I was so happy for the fans in the stadium yesterday (and a little jealous). It was obviously sensational to be a part of so much more than a celebration.

I'm disappointed.

We embarrassed them yesterday. 2-0 was kind to them.

We should have humiliated them and won by about 6.

Yeah I agree. Just seen this stat:

By the end of the game, Cech had made nine saves. No Arsenal goalkeeper has made more in a Premier League game since 2003.

Throw enough mud and some of its gonna stick unfortunately
Robbie was abused I can agree with that was he racially abused? the evidence is inconclusive fat black it's difficult to make out guess it depends if on what side of the fence you sit some say black others fat.
Personally think it was fat but it wouldn't overly surprise me if it was black, you're gonna get the odd idiot in a crowd
I heard people say they heard monkey noises but it weren't it was the who let the yids out song.
But again more mud thrown.
Women and children being assaulted that's gotta be bollocks with absolutely no proof as far as I know.
Unless it's picture taken during the carling cup final v Leicester where some bloke appears to be fighting a woman but I've never heard of it
Anyone hitting hitting a woman or a child would get a good hiding themselves I woulda thought.
More mud though
Interestingly Robbie didn't mention the arsenal fans racially abusing their own players the other week I think after they got gubbed by palace?
I'm not making excuses but the claims that are being made require better evidence than just hearsay
Imo

The more people post Youtube links to these clowns, the more money you generate for them. They're lapping it up.

I know what you mean and I am sorry but it's worth letting them make some cash because its so entertaining. To see them complaining, moaning and crying just makes my day. I always watch it after and Arsenal defeat and send the links to my Arsenal mates.

The striking thing about yesterday was Wenger took his Arsenal team to WHL to defend and try not to lose.

Sums up where the two clubs currently are, and long may it continue.

i wasn't there so can't judge, but i don't think because people cant hear it on footage shot from a mobile phone, that its conclusive.

I wasn't there either. We have Robbie in the middle of a melee with a lot of noise and chaos around him. He has to be specific about what he thought he heard. He stated that Arsenal fans don't engage in racist behaviour when Spurs visit The Emirates, but we have video evidence of some of their fans engaging in just such behaviour singing anti-Semitic songs.

So you weren't there, yet u can say quite categorically 'There was no racism.'
Bit odd tbh.

What an epic day yesterday. I really didn't enjoy the first half all that much, everyone was deflated after the Chelsea game in the pub and our fans were in poor voice. I don't remember ever getting outsang during the NLD when the scores are still level, but that happened yesterday and at one point the Arsenal fans starting singing "Is this the Emirates" LOL.

Once we scored though it was completely different. Even the West Stand was rocking. Singing "Theo what's the score" and "Arsene Wenger we want you to stay". It felt good. There was a girl crying tears of joy at the end of the game behind me. I don't care if people call us small time or whatever, I was seven years old the last time we finished above Arsenal and I barely remember it, for over twenty years I've had constant abuse from their lot about how superior they are. Well now it's official. We're better than them. And to do it by deservedly beating them on the pitch in the last NLD at the Lane made it all the sweeter.

Every player was an absolute hero, not a bad performance amongst them. Tough call between Wanyama and Vertonghen for MOTM. Shambolic from their side too - I can't believe Giroud is still starting games up front for them five years after signing. People in our fan base used to moan that Eriksen goes missing sometimes, well I don't know how you'd put up with Ozil as he was completely anonymous, I saw him at the end and he looked like a broken man. Sanchez was their only player who genuinely looked lively for them - I would not stick around if I was him.

And as for this Robbie stuff - I got caught up right in the middle of it all and saw him. It doesn't mean it didn't happen but I didn't hear any racism myself - the videos that have gone viral are clearly a guy calling him a "fat ****" and singing "who who who let the yids out" not a monkey noise. At the end of the day, he's become a well known character and was obviously going to get a lot of abuse from us - and as always, if you don't wear colours and keep your head down when walking down Seven Sisters Road you've got absolutely nothing to worry about as an away fan.

Woah lol the post match interview of Wenger from SkySports was absolutely brutal
