It's been a rough day/year/decade for Arsenal FC and their fans.

Arsenal Fans Throw A Banana On The Pitch
It's being reported as a banana thrown at Gareth Bale, but that does not really make much sense.

Today's Arsenal-Aston Villa match from Ashburton Grove got off to a violent start as Gunners defender Johan Djourou took Emile Heskey's elbow straight to the beak—though Djourou was as much responsible for propelling his face into Heskey as much as anything.
