CHELSEA FANS were in hysterics after witnessing another Arsenal horror show from their former defender David Luiz.
The Brazilian, who won the Premier League and Champions League with the Blues, has been a calamity alongside Sokratis at the back for the Gunners this season.

And with Chelsea in fourth position and TEN points above managerless Arsenal, jubilant fans were quick to thank their curly-haired former stalwart for his awful performances.
One Blues fan posted: “Selling David Luiz for 8m has to be one of the best bits of business we’ve done in recent times. Mans cost them so many games this season and people actually thought he was going to improve them when he’s actually made them worse”.
Another laughed: “My God David Luiz is such a liability in defense. Gets beaten in so many different ways. He’s a complete defender from that aspect. Full arsenal of ways to allow a goal.”
One gushed: “Thank you @DavidLuiz_4 you’ve made Chelsea so much money in transfers to PSG n @Arsenal respectively..you left my club for anothef rival thinking you were going a step forward..instead you’ve made football better with your expect defensive play..enjoy getting relegated”.
Another added: “Thanks mate @DavidLuiz_4 Chelsea legend!”
Even non Chelsea fans were laughing at the badly out-of-form Gunners: “Yo who remembers when Arsenal fans acted like they were gonna win the league when they signed Pepe and David Luiz?”
“Chelsea really did Arsenal dirty by selling them David Luiz”, another said.
The Gunners brought Luiz in to improve on a leaky defence that conceded 51 goals in the Premier League last season.
But they have already managed to ship 23 in 15 games this season, and have not won a league match since October 6.
Boss Unai Emery paid the price with his job.
But interim manager and club legend Freddie Ljungberg has been unable to halt the slump, having picked up a measly one point from two games against Norwich and Brighton.
There is currently no clear favourite for the job, but the likes of Brendan Rodgers, Massimiliano Allegri and Patrick Vieira have all been linked.
