It's how they say it that counts, not what they say!

Excellent quote by Bob Wilson back there

I miss the days of Bob and Frank McLintock being on TV.. Frank was so biased towards us it almost evened out all the shit the other commentators were saying.

There was an article on BBC sport yesterday about how Spurs were now "genuine" top four contenders, because they drew at Villa. FFS. I seem to remember our draw at Villa last season being a death knoll for our Champions League future.

It's a combination of most of the things mentioned on here plus our "dubious" entrance to the old 1st division ahead of the scum and their stupid fucking parrot has never been forgotten or forgiven!

Also George Graham did us no favours when he banned the media from the training ground.

It should also be remembered that before we won the title in 1930 - becoming the first southern team to do so - football was dominated by teams from the North. The biased media at the time didn't like the fact that some 'Southern Softies' had dared to gate-crash their party.

Up to then, Arsenal were a club going nowhere fast. Herbert Chapman changed all that - ironically by doing a Chelsea and spending huge transfer amounts on getting top players, thus the 'Bank of England' tag we used to have - and started the run that made the 1930's Arsenal sides into the foremost club in the country. Thereafter, a hatred of all things Arsenal began.

Also, I know from experience - and I've mentioned this before - that most of the football journalists are West Ham, Man United and Spurs fans.

Agree with most of the reasons given. Plus the fact that we just donâ€™t have any players that these pundits are all a bit too chummy with.

Hansen burps just so he can taste Stevie Gâ€™s nuts all over again & Andy Grayâ€™s farts probably smell of Rooneyâ€™s balls. Doesnâ€™t matter if youâ€™re talking about Lawrenson, or Shearer, Thompson, Redknapp with his incestuous fetish for â€œLampsyâ€

Just to add more fuel to the fire, the only one of our group games being shown on free to air TV is the Olympiacos game and only because the beloved bindippers pissed their group games away and even the most diehard scouser doesn't give 2 shits if they win a meaningless game.

It gives ITV the chance to say Oh how pretty, shame they won't win anything this season.Wonder how many times the commentator will mention us losing to the rest of the top 4 or how few English players there are on show.

Off all the smug c***s on sky, it's Minto that I hate the most most. The prick almost has a smug look on his face anytime he talks us down. Actually fuck almost, he's practically a cheshire fucking cat when he's doing it. WANKER

I donâ€™t really blame ITV for showing the Mancs/Scousers ahead of us to be honest. Theyâ€™re a business that relies on advertising income so theyâ€™re obviously always gonna show the game thatâ€™s most likely to bring in the biggest audience cos bigger viewing figures = better ad revenue. Theyâ€™re probably practically obliged to on behalf of their shareholders. And nationwide both Ushtd/Lvrcnts have bigger fanbases than us - probably by some distance as well. We may bring in a few more neutral viewers cos of our style of play but nowhere near enough to bridge that gap.

Perhaps ITV could have at least shown us on ITV1 in the London region back when they still had 2 CL games on the same night, but even then there's probably as many "Mancs" & "Scousers" in London as Gooners & they only have 1 game now anyway. Fuck ITV anyhow, Andy Townsend is a twunt.

I can actually appreciate when Hansen and Gray have a pop at us, but when it comes from *word censored* like Minto, Sherwood, Redknapp, etc who won fuck all in their shitty career, it is just a pisstake.

Was that the knoll where the 3rd gunman (maybe) was in Dallas in 1963...

They do love a 'Galactico'. Not sure how much they hated us in 03/04, but I've never picked up on it til I've seen it mentioned here. The fact United and the Mugsmashers have far more supporters will have something to do with it. And they totally believe Terry and Lampard's shit doesn't stink. Probably want City or someone else to break the big four cos ratings are going down what with the league being so predictable at the top. More non-big 4 supporters would watch games if they thought someone new could get in the Champs League I reckon.

Anti Arsenal media?

Olympiacos away
