Rachel: "In the Emirates as a home fan. Ashamed of Arsenal right now. All the warnings about turning away fans away and they've done nothing. No stewards to be seen. Feeling so intimidated."

Ade: "Currently inside the Emirates, thousands upon thousands of German fans everywhere around us. Horrible tense atmosphere. Tens of thousands of fans being made to feel very unsafe, including very young children.

"Not sure how this has happened. Has to be said if the roles were reversed and I was a British fan doing this in a German city, I'd be hanging my head in shame."

Foz: "Got to my usual seats in Club level with my 11-year-old son. Surrounded by Cologne fans. So unsafe we have been moved to the other side of the ground. Worst feeling at football in 40 years of watching home and away."

Chris: "Currently in the home end at Emirates - away section (corner) full and in full voice. Hundreds of people joining in the singing in the adjacent section behind the goal that should be for Arsenal supporters. Can only assume they are Cologne fans."

Steve: "Don't feel safe inside and won't feel safe outside. Should be called off and the Cologne fans sent packing. Arsenal fans who sold their tickets should be banned."

Marco: "What's the problem? Apart from the odd small scuffle amongst themselves the Cologne fans haven't caused any trouble and just want to support their team."

Some quotes from Arsenal fans on the BBC website there. To me they sound ridiculously pampered. Once inside the stadium if those Cologne fans were there to support their team then just get on with it.
 
Lol at the Arsenal Tarquins. Football in the 70's was like that every week. "Match Day Experience" in those days didn't involve padded seats, Tofu, Nick Hornby or Piers Morgan.
I was at Arsenal v Chelsea game in January 1970 that between 2.15pm and 5.30pm seemed like a re enactment of the battle of Angincourt and then we had to deal with the tube craziness as United had been at West Ham the same afternoon.

They're like the Arsenal of fanbases.
 
Arsenal and the MET couldn't run a bath. I don't remember any trouble for our fans getting into Lille's stadium when we bought tickets for the home end. Seemed like they were prepared for it unlike that shambles last night.
