Arsenal's Head Groundsman Is Leaving After 13 Years

Arsenal's head groundsman will be leaving the club next week after 13 years.

Reece Watson has been keeping the Emirates pitch in glorious condition since 2006 but will no longer be involved with the Gunners after the visit of Cardiff next week.

And of course in response to the news, there's been so many tweets joking how Watson has decided to call it quits after seeing Jesse Lingard moonwalk on his pitch and turn the turf into a dancefloor.

Not feeling he'd done enough damage by doing the Milly Rock after his goal at the Emirates last season, Lingard channelled his inner Michael Jackson after scoring against Arsenal again and disrespected them further by tagging his location as 'Dancefloor' on Instagram.

Being honest, you can't blame Reece for having enough...
