Tweet Tweet: The Best Twitter Reactions To Nicklas Bendtner's Inclusion In The Arsenal Team

Arsene Wenger sparked controversy this afternoon as he opted to start Nicklas Bendtner ahead of the in-form Olivier Giroud. Both fans of the club and those who were watching from afar reacted to the selection in a different manner of ways, so we selected some of the best.

Bendtner starting is this a joke?

There was one chap, though, who decided to take it further as he claimed that he would spread toothpaste on his mother's eyebrows as she slept if the Denmark striker scored a goal.

If Bendtner scores tonight I will toothpaste my Mums eyebrows whilst she's asleep

Of course, it took just two minutes of football to see Bendtner latch onto a Kieran Gibbs cross and nod past Allan McGregor to score his first goal for the Gunners is over two years. Good to his word, Twitter user MitchGordon1997 then posted a picture with a sleeping woman with said toothpaste on her face.

Excuse the language.

Football is a fickle game and controversial decisions naturally spark debate with fans across all divisions, and there are few things that are more enjoyable to see than when their over exaggerated views come back to bite them!
