The day social media went too far.
When your team concedes a fourth goal and goes 4-1 down at home, you’re probably best off not using a hashtag to describe your emotions.
When your team refuses to invest in the squad again and watches all around them get stronger again, just don’t say anything. Just go away.
63 minutes into the new season and the Emirates had already seen enough. 63 minutes and they were all booing already. Imagine if those fans at the game watching their team blow a 1-0 lead could see the Arsenal Twitter account responding to goal number four with the hashtag #NoWords.

Nothing seemed to go right for Arsenal, both on and off the pitch.
An injury crisis meant Rob Holding and Calum Chambers were left holding the fort at centre-back, new-boy Granit Xhaka wasn’t ready to start Theo Walcott missed a penalty, and there was even time for Petr Cech to crash his car after full-time.
No wonder there was a significant Arsenal Fan TV backlash.
