Spot a Sheffield United supporter you know in our gallery from Arsenal defeat amid "real fans" debate

Sheffield United's Premier League struggle continues against Arsenal as Chris Wilder hails support

Sheffield United supporters found themselves at the centre of a tedious "real fan" debate last night as their side were hammered 6-0 on the pitch by title-chasing Arsenal. As the Gunners went 3-0 up inside 15 minutes, and 5-0 at the break, some Unitedites had seen enough and left Bramall Lane early.

That drew scorn from BBC pundit Chris Sutton, who said they were "not real fans. Not real fans. Just stick with your team." Chris Wilder, the United boss, saw things differently, hailing those fans who did stay behind until the end but adding that he fully understood why some elected to leave early as Mikel Arteta's side ran riot.

There were few empty seats in the stadium at kick-off but plenty on show as the evening went on, with our photographers on hand as ever to capture as many Blades cheering on their side as possible. Can you spot yourself, or someone you know, in our latest fan gallery?
