Mark Lawrenson was on classic form on Tuesday as he covered Arsenal's 2-0 win over Bayern Munich for Irish TV station TV3.

As well as being his usual moany self during his co-commentary duties, the BBC pundit made an utterly stupid remark about striker Olivier Giroud. The former Liverpool defender was heard saying: "But he's French so he'll have a big nose, won't he?" It may have been ignored by his colleague, but Twitter doesn't miss a beat, and plenty of people picked up on Lawrenson's faux pas. https://twitter.com/ColmBoohig/status/656566599508492288?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/WicklowGooner/status/656566704689041408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/clonmacart/status/656566810104471552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
