I'm sick and tired of the anti-Arsenal crap in most of the papers, so can anyone tell me what they think is the best read in the morning??

It doesn't have to be pro-Arsenal, just one without an obvious bias against us!!

Goonermc,

As I have suggested on another thread, read The Times for good football writing without the speculative bollocks and built in anti-Arsenal bias. It's especially good on a Monday with it's football pull-out called The Game.

Although it has the reputation for being - and indeed used to be - a 'posh person's paper' and very high-brow, The Times is easy enough to read nowdays and, as well as excellent football coverage, has informative and in-depth articles about all different sports.

Give it a try for a week; or at the very least buy it on a Monday. I'm sure you won't regret it

Cheers ECD, i'll certainly take your advice and give the Times a try, they may even give us some credit for tonight's result.

Well I can't promise that Goonermc, but they are normally much more balanced than the tabloids and don't go in for all the hysterical 'Arsenal in Crisis' head-lines.

They certainly won't be pro-Arsenal, and will write the occassional critical piece about below-par performances, but they won't write total shit about us either!

I must say i hate the Sun but i couldn't help but giggle at there piece about the scum today, it read: Champions league, more like CHUMPions league!!

The Sun is good if you want a quick 10 minute read (normally in the toilet) or a bit of light-hearted fun. It is certainly not a newspaper to be taken too seriously as far as news or sport is concerned.

ECD, how do you know i keep the Sun in the toilet??

Obviously it's there in case of a lack of bog roll.

The guardian is also excellent ... don't care much about their socialist slant, but love the sports coverage. in-depth, balanced, and without crud .. at some times, it even actively appears pro-arsenal ...
