Arsenal faced German club, FC Cologne, in the European Cup on Thursday night, and although it was a home game for the Gunners, the stadium was flooded with German fans, who caused wreckage and even invaded the home side's seating section, did you see the footage?
It's Thursday night football for Arsenal fans now that their team have been demoted to the European League and it looks as though things are not off to a good start for the North London team, despite them winning the game 3-1.
The home side section was vacant at Arsenal, in comparison to usual games, and up until the FC Koln fans starting invading and taking over the opposition's section. In addition, scenes from just outside the stadium show the German team's fans causing chaos and kicking over barricades in an attempt to enter the stadium.
It is believed that the drama ensued soon after the dejected Gunners fans decided that selling tickets to FC Cologne fans would be a great way to make a quick buck, as many of them weren't interested in this particular competition.

Famous Arsenal supporter, Claude Callegari, told Arsenal Fan T.V. that the reason fans did not show up to cheer the team on was because they would rather watch scheduled television programming that see their players go up against clubs they have never even heard of.
Like it or not however, this is Arsenal's new reality and fans better get used it.
Do you think the travelling fans should be reprimanded for this behaviour?
