ANY ONE HEAR FIREWORKS TODAY

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Pathetic in my view - that sort of salute (which is essentially what it was) should be for fallen soldiers and no-one else!

I disagree with GoonerJim's comments.

Anyway, I don't think it was any kind of salute. I think it was some people setting fireworks off to disturb the silence.

god forbid if Arsenal had a similar incident pray god they dont! but I think tributes like Man USA done where a nice touch. and so what if they wasnt soilders footballers determine how good a weekend you have if Arsenal lose thats it dont talk to me about going out. and football is a religion to me with Arsene being my god

It's a real shame, but let's face it - something like this was always going to happen.

That brings up a joke:

Man City fans were quiet for 1 minute

Man Utd fans were quiet for 90 minutes
