What a silly little knobhead. I hope he gets a lifetime stadium ban. I’m not a Grealish fan, but his lack of reaction was outstanding. I’d have knocked the fat little ****er flat on his arse.

I'm a tad upset the steward finally caught up, because both sets of players were about to tear the **** to shreds.

Agreed on Grealish, could've easily got up and gone right for him, but he did the absolute right thing.

The worst aspect is that 15k other Herberts clapped him off. Brum should be told to play the next 6 behind closed doors, but I doubt if the football authorities will do much, they're a toothless set of tossers. It will take a player been stabbed before anything is done. Then the fences will be back.

This has led to one of the most appalling tweets I’ve genuinely ever seen

I’m not going to share it, but it referred to Grealish’s deceased brother and the person who tweeted it might have just ruined his life, blown his chances of ever getting employment and has had his name and address posted online already.

Think before you tweet!
 
Must be a day [weekned] for it ...

Chris Smalling: Manchester United defender shoved by a Hobbit during game against Arsenal

The incident happened in the 69th minute of the match at Emirates Stadium
A fan ran on to the pitch and shoved Manchester United defender Chris Smalling during his side's away match against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

The incident happened shortly after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had converted a 69th-minute penalty to give the Gunners a 2-0 lead against United.

After pushing Smalling, the man ran with his arms aloft towards the Gunners players celebrating their goal.

Smalling was unhurt and the fan was taken off the pitch and arrested.

An Arsenal spokesperson said: "We utterly condemn the behaviour of the individual who ran on to the pitch and approached Chris Smalling during today's match.

"We would like to apologise to Chris and Manchester United, and are pleased that [the spectator] was apprehended and arrested. We will be working closely with the Metropolitan Police in their investigation.

"The individual will also be banned from Arsenal matches home and away. Our matchday staff receive ongoing training on managing incidents such as this."

Shortly after the match, a statement from the Metropolitan Police said: "A man has been arrested on suspicion of common assault and pitch invasion following an incident during the Arsenal v Man Utd game at the Emirates Stadium today.

"He is currently in custody at a north London police station."

Arsenal boss Unai Emery said the incident was something he "did not want" to see and called on all fans to show "respect".

The incident came only hours after Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish was punched in the face by a spectator during Villa's 1-0 derby win over Birmingham City at St Andrew's.

On Friday, a man was arrested after Rangers' James Tavernier was confronted by a spectator during Friday's Scottish Premiership draw with Hibs.
 
Villa v Birmingham is another of these local pissing contests that those involved believe is of national nay international importance.

Reality cheque: it's a provincial race to the bottom of mid table second tier also rans.
