Arsenal fans tweet through the tears during Munich horror show

Nooruddean Choudry

What a difference a few weeks makes.

It wasn’t long ago that Arsenal fans were bragging about a famous victory at home over the mighty Bayern Munich.

Well a 5-1 trouncing on Wednesday night to Pep Guardiola’s men was enough to bring even the most giddy Gooner back down to earth.

An early goal from Robert Lewandowski was an ominous start. Arsenal fans agreed that Gabriel was to blame…

Just a matter of seconds later, it looked as if Ozil had equalised! But no – the ref signalled handball and the away fans weren’t happy…

Even though replays showed that the ref was correct…

They continued to be annoyed at the poor official…

Things got worse in the 29th minute when Thomas Muller scored via a deflection…

Moral was low…

And then David Alaba did this…

Some Gooners believed it was inevitable…

But others were more critical…

It got worse in the second half when Arjen Robben came on – and scored with his first touch…

There was a particular scapegoat that was identified…

Whilst others felt most of the team was culpable…

Just a few minutes before Arsenal’s goal, Guess-who came out with this…

Olivier Giroud’s goal had the supporters in sarcastic mood…

Before Thomas Muller rounded off the rout…

5-1. What a terrible night. Still at least rival fans could laugh…
