As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
The Liverpool cocksucking sessions that used to go on during MOTD when Alan "No, you tackle MichaelThomas" Hansen ( ) and the old drag queen Lawrenson were on it actually stopped me watching it and I never went back.
I loved when the media hated us in the 80's/90's. I remember seeing that great clip of GG after the Old Shatford brawl and the 2 point deduction in 91 and he was driving that home to the players. Loved seeing him tell them; "Everyone hates us. Fuck them. Backs to the wall. Ferguson is a cúnt."
It's slightly amusing ( ) to see Van Gaal being slated for exactly the same shit that TOF does - Dull possession play, no shots, no penetration.
I could never stand Hansen or that snide cunnt Lineker on MOTD. Lawrenson's lethargic-yet-contemptuous attitude on Football Focus is a disgrace (semi-decent as a radio pundit though when he's not trying to crowbar in some shit 'dry' humour). Mark 'Shit Nickname' Chapman is trying to be the oldest hipster in Britain, by the looks of things and as for Robbie Cunnting Savage and his lackey 'Fletch'...
I suppose MOTD is a bit better now they are mixing it up a bit. I record the programme then only watch our match, balls to the rest. I'm just relieved that Michael 'Dull Cunnt' Owen isn't on the BBC tit as well.
Always class when Keown and Wrighty are on though (and we're missing Dixon)
There does seem to be a media bias against us, but it's rather selective. For example, the same journalists who slag us off, will then question why Wenger was shouted at in the train station in Stoke, or why fans had the audacity to hold up a Wenger banner last season.

Lost count of the number of journalists who would bleat on about X years without a trophy and laugh at how hopelessly soft-centred we were, but when any Arsenal fans complained about the same they would turn and accuse us of being fickle given that we always finish top 4 and get to watch such great football.
Likewise after the loss at home to Villa in August 2013 Phil McNulty made a huge deal of criticising Wenger and suggesting it might well be time to go. Two months later the same prick - supposedly BbCs best football writer - ended every piece on Arsenal with how Wenger was ridiculing all those fans who had questioned him at the start of the year.
On another note, I wonder whether Sky would ignore fans of every other club dishing out constant abuse to a player for getting a horrendous leg break? As much as I like to dish out stick to Spurs and Liverpool fans I don't know any other fans who would behave in anything like the same way as Stoke fans do. It's disgusting and gutless of Sky and BBC to ignore it - they'd definitely both have made several wry references to it if an ex-player was getting that sort of treatment.

Much as I can't stand the git, Alan Green dug them out for it in his radio 5 commentary.

Yep BBC mentioned that on their live text - after 40 minutes.
I guess it's a bit harder to ignore it when you're commentating over the radio and have to explain to your listeners why you're being drowned out.

Also, used to irritate the shit out of me to hear the "all those Arsenal fans that boo'd or doubted Arsene, where are they now?" comment when we'd beat relegation fodder 5-0 at home to claim The Glorious VT on the last day of the season.

Indeed. The sheer hypocrisy the media have over The Old Fraud and his repetitive failures is nauseating, as is the lack of condemnation of the booing and chanting against Ramsey
