Arsenal won no friends with embarrassing hashtag for Liverpool’s fourth goal

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. https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/764859312917344257

You'd probably guess that it didn't go down too well.

It really annoyed some people.

If you didn't laugh, you'd cry.

Not everyone was lost for words though.

And it only shed more light on yet another depressing transfer window.

We've been here before.

And the outlook is grim.

That hashtag though.

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. Read more Joe.co.uk Snapchat
