OMG the media cannot stop trying to make excuses for us beating their precious Liverpool.
So After Klopp's press conference, it has now 'emerged' that Saka may have been in a camera blind spot in the lead up tot our first goal which made it impossible for VAR to draw the line which proved he was offside.
Seriously, can they all just fuck the fuck off!!
Well in the good spirit of the game we should offer to replay the match![]()

Some media commentators give us our just deserts, but you need to remember that stirring up comtroversy sells papers and generates phone calls to radio stations, that's what it's all about
They can all FOAD tbh
I get why it can be annoying, but personally I’ve long passed the point of caring whether a win is deserved or not. And it works both ways, if we draw or lose when we were the better side or have had a decision go against us…it’s materially irrelevant in the sense that you don’t get do overs and whilst it might make for an interesting talking point for bitter has beens and men who spit at children, it really changes nothing. A win will still be a win and a loss still a loss.
The last game I went to was against Brighton, to say I wasn’t pleased that Martinelli’s goal was chalked off was an understatement, but ultimately a game that could and maybe should have ended 2-2 equally can’t come away and complain too much because we were distinctly second best throughout that match. Whether Liverpool can feel hard done by certain decisions doesn’t change the fact that they were distinctly second best and maybe need to do more to look at their own performance.
I don’t listen to sky sports commentary shy of you tube clips of Roy Keane getting into arguments with Jamie Carragher (so watching for the side show rather than any respect for their analysis), I sure as hell don’t listen to Talksport or read the newspapers. The only sports periodical I tend to read because it’s quite interesting is the Athletic.
I don't care.
I don't think there's any inherent anti-Arsenal bias in the media. Certain individuals will have that of course, but Ian Wright is very much the opposite of course.
Fans of any club tend to fixate and moan about the people who are anti their club. But as stated, I don't care. I just enjoy their tears.
With the Liverpool result neither of the two penalty incidents, the one given and the one not, were clear. So those are discussion points. It did feel like they went for us, but there have plenty of times where the reverse has been true so I think, on balance, we'll keep the 3 points thanks.
i hate to be in any way tin-foil-hat about this but actually i do think our players get put under more scrutiny by the media and refs than others, and much of the media have a hard time talking us up compared to Liverpool, Spuds and one or two other teams
for example if K**t played for us he'd be criticised more for his constant cheating and violent conduct - i know it's partly his England captain status but being Spuds captain also helps him
perhaps it's the general right-wing/underlying-racist bias of much the media that's also playing a part here - Arsenal are supported by lots of 'Islington lefties', also our fan base must be one of if not the most diverse in the country
You think that the dislike is political?
Yes we may be based in Islington, but Arsenal has historically been known as the Bank of England club…until Porn Tache bought us…the board was full of Tory blue bloods blue chip business owners.
Plus you have to ask yourself why would they then favour Liverpool or either of the Manchester clubs which are clearly left wing Labour controlled areas….Liverpool especially is a hot bed of socialism.
