State of the streets

Just been down Upper Street/Highbury & Islington streets are still such a state. Smashed bottles and glass everywhere...

Club and the fans should really be doing more to clean the streets...

They’ve planned the parade alongside Islington council. Paid for the clean up and contribute millions of pounds towards the local community both directly and indirectly.

What and how would you like them to be held accountable for?

They'll never think about it again by this time next week. It's just a lot of people that like to complain for the sake of it.

It took a few days to set up, it will take a few days to clean up. Imagine the complaining if they'd locked down the roads again today just to clean everything up?

Spoken like a true non-resident

I absolutely am a resident, and was penned in living on a road that was closed during the parade. I also don't care for Arsenal at all. The one thing that is relevant is that I'm not a mard arse
