The Chelsea fan seen in heated conversation with captain Cesar Azpilicueta has explained what he was said between the pair.
Simon Kerr, 53, who described himself as a “die-hard" fan who follows Chelsea home and away, says he cannot believe the attention his spat with Azpilicueta received.
Azpilicueta confronted Simon at the end of Wednesday's shock 4-2 home defeat by Arsenal.
Logistics manager Simon told The Sun: “I just wanted to ask him why we hadn't shown any fight.
"I know I wasn't aggressive or abusive - and you can ask the three people I was standing next to in the crowd and the stewards who were there.
“I didn't berate him at all or shout. All I did was extend my arms asking what had happened and why we hadn't shown any fight in London derby.
“You could see he was angry but I don't think he understood what I was saying, which is why I beckoned him across.
“I've read a load of nonsense about me swearing at him and him swearing at me - and that simply didn't happen.
“But I wanted to ask him, as captain, why there hadn't been any passion or fight in the team - what you'd expect from a Chelsea team in a big game like Arsenal.
“He was a bit aggressive to me and then told me I should get my boots on and play instead - and I said that I'd love to.
“I didn't want it to get out of hand so that's when I raised my hands and gave him the thumbs up, to try to calm everything down.
“But then I got in the car to drive home, turned on talkSPORT and heard lots of stuff about what I'd done - which was just not true."
Simon, though, added the incident had not changed his mind about Chelsea.
He said: “I've been a fan since I was four and that will never change.
“I'll be there for the West Ham game on Sunday and just want to see the fight we didn't show against Arsenal."
