Terrible substitution and understandable reaction from the fans, but a lot of boos where definitely directed at Arshavin. Where I sit (east lower) the frustrations and borderline hatred directed towards Arshavin has been reaching boiling point for a number of weeks now and it finally tipped yesterday. Plenty of boos were directed at Arshavin when he came on, along with other such helpful shouts such as “fuck off Arshavin” and “get that shit Russian off the pitch”…..before he’d actually got on the pitch!!

But yeah, I’m pretty sure we can all agree it was a terrible substitution!

And speaking of terrible substitutions; it was interesting that Park was brought on for his premier league debut yesterday. I wonder if he’ll actually play again in the league this season or if his one and only run out just happens to be against the most marketable team in Asia!
