Mark Clattenburg has included the shameful scenes at the Emirates in his referee's report after Tottenham supporters showered Arsenal's Theo Walcott with coins.

Although it does say that Arsenal may get charged as well. Where's the logic? spuds fans misbehave and ARsenal could get punished.
Hopefully common sense will prevail and that lot will be hit with a hefty fine or have some sort of fan ban. Good job Arsenal followed H&S advice from the Met, imagine what it would have been like with 9,000 spuds.
This is part of the problem with footballing society IMO. Players get disciplined for this stuff because it's likely to incite a riot (or is believed to) so instead of sorting out the thuggish filth who riot over something as minor as a player showing the score, we pussy-foot tip-toe around them and cater to them.
I saw this shit first-hand. Ridiculous reaction. This was nothing like Adebarndoor celebrating for City right in front of us, Walcott doesn't even have any ties to the enemy. It was a casual, calm and cheeky gesture. The appropriate response would've been for them to stick their middle finger up or give him grief, nothing more. What the idiot was doing in the crowd who had to be held back is beyond me. What does he thinks he's going to do? Run on the pitch and attack Walcott.
They're thuggish morons, end of story. Anything is an excuse for violence. They're not even proper football fans IMO, they're just morons who lack an identity of their own and use a club to get that identity.
Chuck them out, ban them for life, and that should be the end of it. Idiots.
Still cannot believe the idiot spud who phoned up 606 last night as well.
