  9. An Arsenal fan claimed when he was in Copenhagen during the final match him and friends was giving support from a Danish bus driver, congratulating the Arsenal fans for fighting the Galatasaray fans. The reason the bus driver alleged that many in the Turkish community, especially in Copenhagen are quite problematic to most of the Danish society.

  18. The galatasary 'men' trying to beat the Arsenal fans and their allies with the weapons they would normally beat their wives with. Then there is the Gooner throwing a bike at the savages, because it was all that he could defend himself with. I'm glad that I reside in a civilised society.

  21. Respect to Arsenal Hooligans fight without knifes or weapons… That is why turkish "Hooligans" have to respect world wide cause they cant fight without knives…
