Osasuna v Betis game suspended due to a barrier collapsing.

"Injuries sustained" but no word if they're serious.

 

Edit: crowd rush after Osasuna scored, went towards the front barrier and that gave way.

Edit 2: game been restarted now.

 

And they score again immediately.

I get that people might not be keen on Arsenal fans/lack of atmosphere at the Emirates/media overplaying this whole 9 years thing.

 

But success is relative. I can exactly see why fans will be very frustrated with Wenger in recent years, even if his first decade was nothing short of exceptional. Arsenal going 9 years without a trophy is a major failure so it's clearly a headline when they end that drought.

 

The whole "aww look at Arsenal fans not being sad anymore after their 10000000 year wait for a trophy"-style comments, man. Come off it. Going off here, most people get riled when other clubs' fans and media outlets poke fun at/give generalised, potentially inaccurate comments about Newcastle fans (deluded, they should be pleased with what they've got, etc)...... but it's alright to do it the other way round?

It's the whole attitude that stinks. It not just the media saying it's been too long for Arsenal to go without a cup it's their fans as well, they honestly think that. Sorry but no club is automatically entitled to success, no matter how big they are. I myself still don't think Arsenal are the big club people make out, sure they are in the top 4 every year and such, however their fans are the quietest there is. Their last stadium was nicknamed the Library, even by their own fans, they moved to a new stadium that holds 60k which has done nothing to create an atmosphere and they can't even fill the whole stadium. To me both West Ham and Spurs are the biggest clubs in London, Newcastle, Everton, even Leeds, and Forest and others are to me bigger clubs than Arsenal.

 

I used to prefer it when Arsenal won things, it wasn't Man Utd glory hunters, and it wasn't Chelsea's millions, but when I realised their fans never actually cheered their team on and the Wenger 'Always the victim' effect started to become so ingrained with the club I just put them up there with the others.

 

:lol:

 

Absolute maniac.

Mentioned it being tight a few months ago but in the Liga Adelante, only 25 points between Deportivo in 1st, and Hercules in bottom place. (41 points in 39 games)

 

For a 22 team league that's obscenely compact. :lol:
