Í leik kvöldsins heyrðist greinilega í stuðningsfólki í kringum völlinn þó stúkur Emirates-vallarins væru tómar. Þannig var mál með vexti að stuðningsfólk félagsins var mætt til að mótmæla Stan Kroenke, eiganda félagsins.
Ástæðan er ákvörðun Kroenke að ætla í „ofurdeild Evrópu.“ Var það ekki eitthvað sem stuðningsfólk félagsins var par sátt með og lét það skoðun sína í ljós í kvöld.

Incredible. How did American Premier League owners misread their own fans this badly? What combination of arrogance, greed or self-interest can blind you to this level of passion, commitment and depth of connection? pic.twitter.com/l79xhD8Vau

Many wishing football fans would be as animated about serious issues and not just sport. But as smarter people than me will note, at core of this are issues of globalism, anti-capitalism and this particular political moment. Deeply emotional to witness pic.twitter.com/OThn0wePWH
