According to report gathered, one particularly annoyed Gooner has gone online and created a petition aimed at having Dean barred from taking charge of any future Arsenal games.

The annoyed Gooner said:

“It is time that we get an inquiry to his ability to referee Arsenal games.”

For most clubs, such things might raise a brief laugh and then disappear without trace. Not Arsenal. Arsenal knows how to mobilise their online army – and at the time of writing, nearly 25,000 people had signed the petition.

Recall, three indisputable facts about Arsenal supporters are:

1. They despise Chelsea (and particularly Diego Costa).
2. They are not particularly fond of Mike Dean, the referee whose handling of their 2-0 defeat at Chelsea is why No1 is particularly true at the moment.
3. They love nothing more than using their massive online presence to hijack polls/dominate Twitter/launch an Arsenal-related crusade.

Once you combine these three things, no-one should be in any way surprised by the news ‘Arsenal have launched an anti-Mike Dean petition’.
