Arshavin

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Nah, the boos were a carry on of the initial "booing", which was broken by a brief cheer for AOC. It just co-insided with his name being called out. It was followed by the fans singing "We Love You Arsenal" and the a section singing "You don't know what you're doing".

None of it was aimed at Arshavin, and the reaction would have been completely different if it had been Walcott coming off.

The fans could see that bringing AOC off was the wrong move. As he was having an impact. It was out of disbelief at a mad decision to bring off our most effective player.

NOTHING to do with Arshavin. Because if he had been bought on in place of Walcott, or Ramsey or Rosicky...not much would have been said. Normal sub, normal polite applause.

I agree with that, however if it was henry that came on for AOC would there have been boos?

I think yes, because it was Ox coming off that was being booed. There might have been some applause for Henry too, but what are the fans going to make the effort for Arshavin when he gives nothing back in return?

True, i know if theo came off there would have been no boo's and i know they were not booing the fat russian, just hope he did and his confidence is not dented tbh.

Good point actually.

Annoyingly so.
