Arsenal Fans Pounce on #AskBacary Twitter Q&A and Abuse Their Former Right-Back

Sean SwabySep 25, 2014

It's only a matter of time before it's figured out that these Twitter question-and-answer sessions typically end in horrendous fashion.ย 

Especially when the player in question has recently joined the club under imperfect circumstances. Exhibit A: Tom Cleverley.ย 

So when Manchester City snatched up former Arsenal man Bacary Sagna with some hefty wagesย to go from the no-brainer right-back at Arsenal to playing behind the favoured Pablo Zabaleta at City, the Manchester club's ploy to have Sagna engage with his new fans never stood a chance.ย

The Arsenal vultures circled the #AskBacary hashtag and predictably destroyed their former man. There were bench jokesโ€”oh, were there bench jokes.ย
