Arsenal fans have gone to bizarre measures to force Gabriel’s red card to be overturned

Strange

Arsenal fans really love campaigns.

The Gunners’ faithful hijacked Match of the Day’s goal of the season competition last season, and voted en masse for Jack Whilshere’s entry that had only been scored a few hours earlier.

While, earlier this season, some Arsenal fans launched a social media campaign to have points awarded for possession.

They may have outdone themselves now though.

Diego Costa has become something of a pantomine villian for Arsenal fans, following his antics during Saturday’s 2-0 loss to Chelsea.

The striker has been charged for violent conduct following an exchange with Laurent Koscielny, and now Arsenal fans want Gabriel’s red card rescinded.

And their plan to force this measure is…

Boycott Costa Coffee.

At this point we should note that Diego Costa has no involvement with Costa Coffee, as far as we know.
