Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to react after Newcastle announced that Craig Pawson would be overseeing their game against Southampton on Saturday.

There haven’t been many complaints about the latter’s dismissal, as nobody can argue that the German handled the ball outside his area.

However, the incident involving David Luiz, in which he didn’t actually make contact with Willian Jose, has been clouded in controversy.

It seems silly, although the Arsenal fans are clearly holding a grudge against Pawson and believe he has an agenda against Mikel Arteta’s side.

Hopefully, if Willock does make his debut against the Saints, he impresses his new colleagues.
