An Arsenal tweet from 13 years ago has sent social media into meltdown.

Back when things were a bit wilder on Twitter, the Gunners posted their starting XI online.

But the way it was worded has caused some reaction online - with many not believing just how ‘amateur’ it looks.

The tweet is from 2010 when the side had the likes of Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Eboue among their ranks.

But fans could not get over how it was written and the lack of grammar involved.

Team: fab, sag, djourou, squill, clichy, song, cesc, jack, arsh, nasri, Cham. Subs: Ros, rvp, wal, den, eboue, Gibbs, szcz

It was made just a couple of years after the company became a huge part of football for online supporters.

And some of the reaction to it has been golden.

Amazed this tweet still exists

Arsenal held by Liverpool

Arsenal played to a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday evening. The Gunners, who are looking for their first Premier League title since 2004 were held to just a point by the Reds, who clawed back after going behind.

The game was marred with controversy after it looked as though Andy Robertson was hit in the face by the linesman during the game.

In any case, Arsenal will not be best pleased with the result, knowing that they need to keep most of their remaining games to keep Manchester City at bay.
