Facebook silence could ease Gunners' pain

This week's Champions League fixtures produced some emphatic winners and, as logic dictates, some chastened losers.

Barcelona, beaten 4-0 by Paris Saint-Germain, and Arsenal, who lost 5-1 at Bayern Munich, both had tough post-match questions to answer - perhaps the most important being: "What's our social media strategy on this?"

There has always been a Pravda-esque quality to football clubs' official communications, whether it's one-eyed match reports on the website or paranoid, post-truth rants masquerading as the chairman's programme notes.
