Things are seriously toxic at Arsenal right now.
A season that promised so much at the Emirates is petering out to nothing, and Sunday’s credible but largely irrelevant 2-2 draw at Manchester City did little to defuse the tensions amongst Arsenal fans.
It seems there’s something of civil war taking place within the Gooner fanbase, with the pro- and anti- Arsene Wenger factions taking out their anger on each other. And it only seems to be getting worse.
We’ve all laughed at the comical rows on YouTube, but now the unhappiness and division is at such a point that fellow Arsenal fans are exchanging blows and partaking in unsavoury scuffles around games.

Following footage of a scrap at the 2-1 home defeat to Watford in the FA Cup, there was further fisticuffs at the game with City at the Etihad Stadium. Lina, or @TurkishortyGoon, uploaded a video of the bother to her Twitter account on Sunday.

It had many Gooners dismayed at the petty behaviour of sections of their support:
@TurkishortyGoon @AFC_Bam Ban the lot of them for life. Putting our great club once again to shame.

It's so disgusting to watch Arsenal fans fighting. Everyone can have their own opinions, but there's no need to use violence. #AFC

There was even a retort from ArsenalFanTV, that some blame for fuelling the escalating rows. With Wenger dividing opinion more than ever, the end of the season is unlikely to dispel the simmering tension.
