ARSENAL manager Mikel Arteta hailed the speed in which fans protested and forced the six Premier League clubs to back out of the ill-advised European Super League.

A planned protest will take place tonight prior to kick-off between Arsenal and Everton, with the north London club being one of the teams who signed up to the competition — alongside Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham.

Though the club backed out 48 hours after the initial announcement, Arsenal supporters are demanding owner Stan Kroenke leave the club and are voicing their concern at how the club went behind their backs and disregarded their views.
