The FA is looking into Arsenal fans who threw objects at Manchester City’s star player, Kevin De Bruyne, during their recent game at The Emirates. And can we just say, what is it with these Arsenal supporters? Did they forget that they were supposed to be cheering on their team, not throwing bottles at the opposing team?
Despite Manchester City’s convincing 3-1 victory, the game was marred by some disgraceful behavior on the part of some Arsenal fans. They were apparently so upset by their team’s poor performance that they decided to vent their rage on poor De Bruyne. We can only imagine his horror as he avoided flying bottles and plastic cups.
Even in the face of such heinous behavior, De Bruyne maintained his composure. He even had a “satisfied smile,” according to witnesses. We can only assume that this was because he was aware that he had just scored a goal and made another, while the Arsenal players appeared to be playing “hot potato” with the ball.
Later that evening, De Bruyne took to Instagram to make light of the situation. He captioned a photo of a plastic cup whizzing past his shoulder, “Thanks.” We can only imagine what happens when you mess with a player as talented as De Bruyne. He accepts it and then uses it as content for his social media.
Meanwhile, the FA is looking into the matter, and we can only hope that the perpetrators are punished severely. These types of incidents have occurred far too frequently at football stadiums, and it is past time to take action. It’s not fair to the players, the other fans, or the lovely game.
Of course, we can’t help but feel sorry for Arsenal supporters. They must be in a bad mood right now. After all, their once-fantastic team is now a mere shadow of what it once was. They sound like a broken record, playing the same depressing song week after week. It’s like watching a toddler for the first time try to walk, except the toddler has been trying for several years and still can’t seem to get the hang of it.
Meanwhile, Manchester City is growing in strength. They’re the cool kid at school who effortlessly excels at everything. They’re the football equivalent of Beyoncé, perfect and unbeatable. It’s almost unjust how talented they are. We can’t help but admire them for it.
Finally, we hope that the FA takes action against the Arsenal fans who threw objects at De Bruyne as soon as possible. It’s time to put an end to this type of behavior and make football a game that everyone can enjoy without fear of violence or intimidation. Arsenal, on the other hand, might want to spend less time throwing bottles and more time practicing. Just an idea.
