Are arsenal fashionable

it may jus be me but hey might not.
has anybody else noticed that we never seem to get a lot of coverage on the tele, i dont mean games covered by sky sports but the seamingly minute sections we get on MOTD i dont recall us being one of the main games on MOTD yet even though we are joint top of the EPL with a game in hand over chavs an scum, and arguable play the most atractive football.
so is it no longer fashionable to watch arsenal anymore, or are we all forced to watch mind numbingly borin football from the chavs

alot of the bbc journalists editors and ones for the main print mediums are allegedly (notice how i use newspaper slang!) tottenham supporters or not fans of arsenal, hence the anti arsenal bias. having said that we were on sky for most of last season, but i certainly feel we dont get the credit we deserve

I like the fact were kinda "under-the-radar" so to say these days.
I love all the idiots expecting nothing of us before the season started...and who's talking now(I'll remain silent for now, but the naysayers just have to shut up because they're wrong!!)

As far as coverage goes I'm in Canada so I always see the Arse highlites at least(no MOTD here)

so far tottenshite have been on 3 outta 4 games *i think* arsenal have been on live once......i think wat it is we play too much attractive football, our play thruout 90 minutes is good *minus a 2 minute panic session from the arse* that its just too much too show

and such good football to hard to choose our best 5 minutes *or so* as we are soooo good

I've noticed that our coverage on Sky and MOTD has been woeful.

I endured the chavs versus Liverpool to get a glimpse of the Arsenal Blackburn game.

After the shite, they showed the Mancs derby from the day before and the disallowed Fulham goal. They didn't even show our game, even though it had been played same day (unless I blinked and missed it).

Then again, it spared me cursing Lehman for a few hours until MOTD2.

They did show our game but they missed the Cesc clearance off the land/handball and pretty much any foul not connected to sending off.

Im glad that were not fasionable. Think about it...
If we aren't fashionable then all the business blokes with sticks up their arses wont want to bother goin to the grove.
That means that more Real/active supporters will come instead of the day goers. This means that we will get a better atmosphere, AG will become a fortress and we'll win the championship

So come on BBC keep hireing yidds.

Burns - If you live within commuting distance of Finsbury Park there are several pubs that show all of Arsenal's games on foreign satellite channel.

I'm kinda glad that were not on Sky as many times as last because it feels like a big event to get yourself down to Arsenalville and watch something the vast majority can't see, a bit underground in a pirate radio kinda way.

I hope the North London Constabulry don't decide to crack down on it. I can't see a reason why they ever should, when you consider the crowd control benefits it has, in that it would keep people from hanging around the ground trying to score tickets off a tout. I would also think they would and should have bigger fish to fry, like those two knocking shops in the area. Above all they don't get ART Sports, but some German channel. Surely preventing them showing that would be a restraint of trade contrary to EU law.

I don't like referring to it by name online Stearmaster. Although it's unlikely that they will crack down on it, I don't want the authorities to spoil my fun.

There were a right bunch of wankers down there against Man City, singing 'Spurs are on their way to Belsen/Hitler's gonna gas 'em again' and some anti-IRA songs (totally irrelevant to Arsenal and a deleberate provocation to the publicans, nice way of rewarding there efforts to see something we otherwise wouldn't).

One nob even decided to throw a bottle at the screen because Arsenal were missing a few chances, very clever that I'm sure it gave Arsenal enough motivation for the second half! It lead to the nice Irish girl behind the bar threatening to turn the screen off.

I hope those wankers sleep in next saturday or think it's on Setanta, sparing us the pleasure of their company.

That's the first real bother I've seen there, throughout last season there was no trouble there at all, even with half the place being away fans.

people like that can't read so i think we're safe on that count, the price of success is that that type start supporting your team (although i doubt they've ever actually spent their dole money going to a game) to paraphrase mr hill wood; we don't want their sort supporting our club.

that sort of chanting makes me really angry, i don't like the **** stuff but at least people are mainly using the word without any real malice, but overt references to concentration camps are just fucking disgusting.

i don't know, our taxes paying for people like that to exist, reproduce and spout racist remarks... if only there were some sort of camp we could put them in.*

* just getting carried away there, wouldn't wish it on anyone, even scum like that.
