- Twitter users were left divided after Arsenal tweeted this video, showing a young mascot getting a shirt signed by players and manager Mikel Arteta.
Some fans were outraged as seemingly none of the Arsenal players appeared to acknowledge the girl, while others defended the team, who are chasing the Premier League title.
"Maybe less headphones and more interaction with the wee girl - fans like her are the ones that keep you where you are as a player who in the media team thought this video was positive??!!", said one user.
"A team in the midst of a title race are asked to sign a shirt moments before a London derby vital to winning a 1st league title in 19 years, without being told why, and politely oblige. But 2023 Twitter is crying because they didn’t pat the mascot on the head. Grow up", said another.

Broke my heart seeing that. Poor girl. I hope they make it up to her. ❤️
Well they signed her shirt what else can u ask for
They deserve what they’re getting , NOTHING.
I love how people are defending the players. It's called common courtesy, respect and manners. Take out your earphones/headphones and say "Hello, how are you?" It's not difficult. Millionaires who forget where they have come from and the fans who pay their wages.
They had a whole family day for the fans. They did talk to her, just not at the moment of signing. This is a non story.
Girls lucky to be getting this. It’s ridiculous to criticize the players
@@bhargav5346 lucky?😂😂 why? will the sheer presence of these gods now give her superpowers or something? lmao you absolute clown grow up.
@@bhargav5346 id rather not if they couldnt be bothered to take the headphones off
Why o why did they give this child the silent treatment ? 😢
They didn't. They talked to her before, just not at the part that's in the video. This is a non-story.
It was sad to watch that lil girl face full of joy and looking at them so excited while not even one of them smiled to her. That was freaking sad. If they had interacted with her before or after doesn't matter, this video is cold af, especially watching her face .
Okay....so a little girl had the entire Arsenal squad line up and sign a shirt for her. You'd swear they all showed middle finger to her as they passed when you read about it. People are looking for something to be mad at all the time on the internet what the hell.
How do people even know this was the only interaction she had. What if there was a player who greeted her and talked to her before the video? Social media is a poison.
Bro it's just weird. People really need to get a life I swear. This is a non story.
Even the father has come out to defend the team saying that she spoke to the players before and after the game- she even walked out with Ødegaard onto the pitch.
That's bloody awful. Her little face just wanted ONE acknowledgement. One "Hi" , one ruffle of the hair, anything. Arrogance personified.
Arsenal fans: I dont see anything Wrong with it.
Every other Human being that watch this Video: Could've atleast said "hi" to the little girl who was happy at her moment meeting those players, who couldnt Care less about her.
Arsenal fans: A 60 second clip is representative of the mascot experience, look at the other videos of her day and you’ll realise there’s no issue at all
Ignorant mouthbreathers: ThEyRe So RuDe OmG
@@RRR-vr7cd It’s irrelevant to your agenda sure. But signing a shirt and then spoiling her all before KO (for completely free) does not fit in with “rude, overpaid, obnoxious football players” does it…bellend
This is why you should never meet your heroes 😢
The sadest thing i have seen for a long time.
Good of them to sign the invisible girls shirt.
Some people are BIG MAD💀💀💀💀
This about sums up this generation of football players today, no time for them.
All signing the shirt because they feel obliged to. Not one acknowledging her
Only Gab Fabio And Martinelli smiled atleast..Zinni too
Saka and white too
What a great experience for her 😮
Horrible side, over the top celebrations, (disrespectful)and manager always way out of the tech area. This was heartbreaking.
The lack of awareness and basic decency is staggering here. Her little face looking up for one of them to say hello. I guarantee every one of them knew she was looking but they are too engrossed in their own pathetic, prima Donna entitled little world. What a bad look for Arsenal this is. I’m routing for Man City all the way now.
Overeating much? Her father said she had a great time. She probably interacted with them later
I wouldn't worry, I'd say the jersey is probably in the bin at this stage🤣
Under worked and over paid prima donnas.
You can see her lose more and more hope as it goes on 😞
The majority of them forget who pays their wage.
It would not kill the players just to say hello to a little girl.
lol . they had spent time with her before they signed...stop being such emotional clowns
@@stivsterzigler2677 ikr
Arsenal player braincells: + + = = . End.
I love Arsenal I’m loving the season but this actually annoyed me at least acknowledge the little girl is there actually disappointed with it
Less than a 2min video made you reach that conclusion without knowing the full context first? Must be nice how quick you are to decide things
Too busy thinking about what their next car will be. Oh it's a little girl
How does your presence here benefit ME?
Storm in a tea cup
This is genuinely bizarre behaviour, wankers
Crazy how the girls facial expression changes the longer the video goes on ...
I'm a Spurs fan and I see nothing wrong here.
1:09 who is this guy ?
It must be SOOOO tough being a millionaire footballer having to put up with this autograph-signing hassle. Look at her little face? How could ANY one ignore her? ALL professional footballers should see this, and their coaches, and be given some compulsory public relations training. Disgusting conduct by those players. Just disgusting. Hope they don't win the league after that.
even just a little hair ruffle or something man c'mon... Weird behaviour honestly.
The one season wonder team arsenal
See if they do anything next season
We all know they won't do anything next season. Bottle jobs
Relevance? Nowt
Not good! 😠
We signed a girl's shirt, what girl what shirt ?
What
Maybe a “hello” or a smile
Not a good look at all!!!
At leased we don't have players slapping tshirts or phones out of fans hands they probably signed about 100 shirts just walking in
SAD
they should sign mason greenwopd, he would defo show an interest.
Nobody else in the comments looks at that little girl and their mind goes there. You are a pervert!
That makes no sense...
@@jameswhite6561 he is a nonce. does it make sense now columbo ?
you have to be careful saying hello to a little girl today...you never know what you can be accused of !
I'm pretty sure it's difficult holding a t-shirt with both hands, and having someone shake you hand, or rub his hand over your head or something. I think it may have been different, if she wasnt holding the tshirt with both hands.
It's not hard to look up and look her in the eyes and smile or something though, Jesus christ, don't enable this kind of out of touch behaviour
Exactly what I was thinking it’s no exactly the opportunity for a chit chat there filming holding the shirt there’s a line for signing it how can people moan
?????????? Gotta be an Arsenal fan lol. They can't say Hi because her hands aren't free??
It’s amazing how such badness can make someone feel good. I kinda feel better about being a spurs fan now
What about now>
If you look at the video, it was edited and just showed the players signing, she had lots of other great moments as well as walking out with the team, and her father said she had a great time. Arsenal is a very classy club and does a lot for our supporters and has brought the fanbase back to loving this team. a crap story.
They even had all the reporters camped outside her house afterward, which is a lot more stressful for her, that would have ruined her experience more
she is very cute
I don’t understand the headline about this gesture “ Dividing opinions “?what’s the problem?i think it’s fantastic for the young lady,something she will treasure hopefully for a very long time👍COYG
Disgraceful, disgusting, entitled, Manchester United would never treat people this way
I’m a United fan but I don’t understand what exactly people are complaining about here.
@@MAC_ABC no need to understand just complain
Ur right ur players would just assault them 🤣🤣
@@GhengisGoon have to admit I forgot about that 🤦
mostly black players ignoring her... imagine of this was white players with black mascot... now I now it isn't racist however im just showing how easy this would have been spun vice versa...
Literally everyone ignored her, only a weirdo notices the skin colour
I think this is rude, depressing, and predictable. Bollocks to the lot of them. Full of their own imagined self-importance.
Give the players a break. They all signed the shirt with proper autograph instead of scribbles and moved along because the next players was signing it and probably had to be somewhere
where is the disappointment in her eyes or face? She just looks to the next player as if she doesn't want to miss any. This is so different to the Leeds video. I'm not an Arsenal supporter & think the critical reaction to this is way over the top
They signed the damn shirt, be thankful for that..... most athletes in America would not have stopped to take pictures or sign something unless they are being payed... baseball players are the worst from my experience
It's part of their contract lol
I would be happy if any arsenal player signed my shirt
Why?????
@@LC-gs6qv would you not want your shirt to be signed by some of the most promising players
Cant see the issue.They all signed the shirt.
What is the problem, LMAO
What’s the problem besides people hating Arsenal
All the more reason to laugh out loud when they choke and lose out on the premier league title to man city. Just a little bit of a brief warm acknowledgment would have been nice.
And don't get of started with excuses like ' they were in the zone '. Too busy thinking about the next big sports car and the bimbo they will be roasting that night. And if actually a family man more shame them as they should know how a child feels
What
Bitter Spuds fan? Maybe you're a plastic Chelsea mong, down in tenth place with Fat Frank being crap for a second time around. Or perhaps you're United, the so-called worlds biggest club, still in 'transition' a decade after your golden goose retired. It doesn't matter, you're all shite compared to us. #Gooners
The arsenal players having no issue with playing alongside a serial r**ist Thomas Partey was all we needed to know about their morals
arsenal fans : WE ARE THE BEST FANS
arsenal players : GUNNERS THE BEST
this video : 🤨🤨🤨🤨
People who came here from 442oons?
👇
COME ON YOU GUNNERS ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
Negative minds will always look for negativity .... Even when the positive greatly outweighs the negative.... Take a chill pill...
So wait she a chance in life time to get shirt signed by all those players and this is an issue. Sensitive world get over it.
Terrible club
Where is the news here , over sensitive humans now days making an issue about everything even where there is none
Agreed
A lot of daft, wet comments on here. Grow up you lot. You have no idea of the context, the day, what was happening off-camera, they clearly were heading into the changing room with a queue of players lining up behind them…not the time or place for a chat etc. According to her dad, she had a great day.
No time of a smile or a wink, something literally anyone else would do without even thinking?
@@SMlFFY85 how do you know they didn’t? The camera angle won’t show it
Arsenal have done nothing wrong and bad at all and the girl is jumping and smiling and the dad said after he and his daughter enjoyed it
Jesus Christ man
Somebody told you you were gonna sign a girl's shirt
you were aware of this
you might as well have just faked a smile if you weren't in the mood
Ah yes the scumbag atnsral players
Conte was right about Spurs
Well done lads, taking time to sign a girls jersey while at work, does everyone here acknowledge every child while at work??
@Sue Burgess I'm sure you take your job very seriously just like these arsenal players
We don't have jobs where people idolise us mate, get a grip.
Many of them greeted before or after…you’ll notice the girls’ attention away from the signing from time to time. Why should Arsenal fans allow detractors to try derail us from our objectives now?
Derail? Try? Arsenal already did that mate, the title isn't in your hands.
Real bit of class there.
