Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski was the target of abuse on social media site Twitter after posting a message about the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Gunners team-mate Per Mertesacker was subjected to abuse after posting about the anniversary of Robert Enke's death, but Podoloski was earlier abused, somewhat bizarrely for marking the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The wall fell 25 years ago on Sunday, but some Arsenal fans were not impressed that the German international was tweeting about the occasion, rather than the 2-1 defeat the club had just suffered to Swansea.
