# Arsenal: Fans lambaste fellow supporters for poor atmosphere during loss to Olympiakos

**Arsenal fans have been lambasting their fellow supporters for failing to create an atmosphere during their loss to Olympiakos in the Europa League last night.**

The Gunners lost 2-1 after a 119th-minute winner from the Greek giants sent Mikel Arteta’s side crashing out of Europe’s second-tier competition. Furthermore, one supporter named [Paul McG AFC](https://twitter.com/Afcpmg/status/1233158323425468419) claimed the Emirates Stadium faithful did nothing to help the team in their quest to win the fixture.

Indeed, it’s been said that Arsenal have had [poor atmosphere for a number of years](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/822823-arsenal-fc-5-ways-to-improve-the-emirates-atmosphere) and a fan group even revealed plans to help create a better one at the start of this season [(via Ashburton Army)](https://twitter.com/ChantsFc/status/1161689228402667522?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportbible.com%2Ffootball%2Fnews-reactions-arsenal-fan-group-plans-to-trial-an-atmosphere-improvement-20190815). The north London outfit is also known to regularly overstate the number of fans that have attended a match, showing the poor following [(via BBC)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45158878). Supporters lashed out at those who attended the tie last night as they reacted to the tweet calling out the crowd. Here are a selection of tweets:
