Yeah I do agree tbf they weren’t booing people like aubamayeng or lokongo
Not that I think it’s ok but it was clearly the penalty miss rather than his skin colour

It's nice when fans applaud Saka but it shouldn't be a requirement, I don't have a problem with Chelsea fans booing him given the rivalry between them and Arsenal.

Just find it a weird reaction - nobody is expecting him to be applauded and I'd actually prefer if it now stopped. But to outright boo him is just strange.

I don’t think it really is that strange. It is what it is and I wouldn’t do it myself but rightly or wrongly there are gonna be people out there who blame him alongside the other penalty missers for us not winning the euros. Chelsea fans aren’t the brightest by and large so if anyone’s going to be vocal in their annoyance is probably gonna be them.

The likes of Waddle, Pearce, Southgate, Rooney and Beckham got pelters after missing penos/getting sent off at Euro/World Cups for England.

That doesn’t mean booing him now is racist though so it’s very much a null point in the context of the football match yesterday

This is just why I found it strange. I don't think fans are booing him because of his race but I do think it's more than just that he missed a penalty given the reaction he's got around the rest of the country.
I get that football is tribal and Chelsea fans more than most love to be provocative but one of the best things about this summer was that there were no scapegoats - everyone put their arms around a young lad who had just suffered the worst moment of his professional career and supported him. It was nice to see.

But given the high profile racism storm that surrounded it you must be well aware how it looks if you’re doing it

Yeah I absolutely get that but I also think if it was inherently a racist crowd/section of the crowd other arsenal players would have been getting the same thing
