Thierry Henry clashes with angry Arsenal fan following Swansea defeat

Arsenal striker Thierry Henry was involved in a heated altercation with a teenage supporter, as tensions ran high following the Gunners' 3-2 defeat to Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.

The loss was Arsenal's second in as many Premier League matches, and left disgruntled fans warring with each other on Twitter.

Many were targeting abuse at players including Aaron Ramsey, who despite replays showing he wasn't at fault, was blamed for the collision with Nathan Dyer which saw the Swans given an early penalty.

However, the need to voice frustration was also present in the stadium, as a reported 15-year-old Gunners supporter had a pitch side spat with legendary striker Henry, who told him to 'support your team'.

The exchange came shortly after the full time whistle, when Henry, a 63rd minute substitute, took a section of the players over to the visiting Arsenal fans to thank them for their support and throw shirts into the crowd.

Yet one young fan was not in the mood to share in the embrace, instead questioning Henry and his colleagues commitment, before the 34-year-old Frenchman appeared to invite the fan down to the pitch for a face-to-face showdown.

Henry eventually left the scene exchanging words and making a 'yap yap' gesture with his hand.

In his post match press conference, an official revealed Henry simply told the outraged fan: 'No matter what, you should support your team.'

The spat only added to the frustration Arsenal suffered in Wales, with Gunners boss Wenger so annoyed he only answered three questions in his chat with the media afterwards, with two of his answers given on the way out of the door.

Arsenal, and legendary striker Henry, will hope for better luck when they face Manchester United at the Emirates next weekend.

Welcome back King Thierry

[Drift]

arguing with a 15 year old you know... yout was in primary school when henry was at his peak.

fully justified questioning the commitment of the players though.

[TF S4DK]

TBH Arsenal and particularly Wenger are the makers of their own problems.

While I agree with Henry stance, there comes a point when Wengerneeds to stop lying to himself and riding for man (players & board) that are destroying his legacy.

When the outside questioned our squad in previous years, the Arsenal fans didnt, but know they do and have been for a while.

Theo Arshavin Song Oxlade

Henry RVP

I feel stupid even reading this

Theo Walcott RM Lord have mercy

[Heero Yuy]

Would end up breaking the TV where ever I was watching the game, my house, friends yard, pub etc

[Black Ant]

Arshavin doesn't need to be on the pitch let alone playing CM in a 4 man midfield

[Benicio del Toney]

You would see the real Arshavin again playing central and the pace on the wings would be silly.

Wouldn't just have to rely on RVP either.

[Heero Yuy]

Arshavin's natural position is the second striker role

[Guest whowantswhat]

Arsenal need to go

Theo Arshavin Song Oxlade

Henry RVP

kill yourself please. Arshavin box to box?!!

[TF S4DK]

Arshavin is finished.

[Heero Yuy]

Dunno what's happened to him

Maybe its because the temperatures haven been fairly mildly this winter, he needs like -5 to transform

[Benicio del Toney]

Arshavin's natural position is the second striker role

Yes but he could play just like Scholes in a 2 man midfield.

The same thing that happened to Vela.

You can't play everyone coming from wide, you don't have the players for that system.

[Badman]

Me: you see the penalty yesterday was a blatent dive you think it was a pen?

Man united supporter I work with: yeah looked like it

me: You see the replay?

him: nah not properly

*Pauses*

*Gives benefit of doubt and reserves plain face*

Me: Ok minor let me find some replay footage coz trust me it werent no pen the guy dived

*finds vid of live footage from sky sports on youtube*

Me: yeah this one aint so great but if you look real close you can see Dyer stamping on Ramseys leg

him: hmmm I dunno still think its a pen, you cant deny there wasnt contact, are you trying to say there wasnt any contact by ramsey?

Me: well yeah ok there was a little but only from Ramsey trying to get his leg away, you know what fam hold tight let me find something better

*finds conclusive slow motion replay gif*

Me: ok check this out, this one you can clearly see Dyer stamping on Ramsey

*guy studies footage*

Me: so now what do you think Im not saying the ref got it wrong coz its hard to see it in real time but now that you seen this replay do you think its a penalty?

I understand what your saying in regards to Arshavin not being a wide player but the man can't even shoot anymore, he comes like the ballers in space jam when they lost their powers.

Arshavin's natural position is the second striker role

Yes but he could play just like Scholes in a 2 man midfield.

You realise players in centre midfield have to track back and make tackles ?
