As a Gooner, I can't say I'd noticed much media anti City bias but then again, I see anti Arsenal bias all the time.

I know there's been some speculation around allegations of a breach of FFP rules but so far, none are proven. Whether you agree with the rules or not is irrelevant. They may be unfair but we are stuck with them for the time being. Chelsea are currently in the firing line and a 2 transfer window ban will hurt particularly because they're going to have to keep an unhappy Hazard should their appeal fail.

Not everyone is against you and I wouldn't worry about perceived journo bias. I don't think it's personal but journos do like a good muck raking story to sell both newspapers and more importantly, themselves. My advice ? Don't let journos wind you up.

You have a great team, playing wonderful football and believe me, these days won't last. So just enjoy the ride.

For what it's worth, I hope you win the PL and I have no doubt you will.

One last wish, do us Arse' fans a favour and stuff Man Yoo and Spurs on your way to the title. Please?

How would you feel, if you had an owner who had invested in your club, & your club had been punished for that investment previously (after over 100 years of it being perfectly ok to invest what you want) & you had to hand over your books every year to a committie headed by Alan Sugar, who decided whether to punish you some more ?

And every day, your club, not that organisation, got accused of being bent, by multiple media sources ?

There's an old saying which is not unique to us Arse' fans

Young Gooners think winning the Champions League Is most important

Middle age Gooners think winning the League is most important

Old Gooners know the only important thing is to beat Spurs

I'm with the old 'uns...

I understand the frustration but both FIFA and UEFA have had corrupt leadership - nothing I can do about that. I'm just a fan, one of billions whose support the game couldn't thrive without.

We are one of the main clubs this whole corrupt shit was targeting. It was initiated by cheats & scoundrels & backed by clubs whose interests it served.

Being a fan of one of the clubs who strongly supported the targeting, is a lot different to being a fan of the club on the end of it.

Most of us, have had enough. We are fucking sick of it.
 
There's definitely some journos that have it in for us, and take every opportunity to have a go. Increasingly I've noticed the vitriol extends to City supporters and anyone that questions them. Seen a few be particularly insulting towards some prominent City supporters on social media who seem to be fair game nowadays.

I think the club should do something about the most vitriolic. It won't stop them, but neither will ignoring them and hoping they'll go away.

Only there WERE empty seats, plenty on view at the corner of Kemlyn Rd/Anfield Rd stands.

Last stats I looked at - albeit a couple of months back. Liverpool - capacity 54,000 - average attendance 52,800. Us - capacity 55,000 - average attendance 54,100. Those stats will have moved on, but they'll be significantly better than Liverpool. Anfield is more compact than the Etihad and you don't easily notice 10 empty seats. We have the same problem as West Ham. Our stadium was built for all day comfort watching athletics. Every empty seat at the Etihad and Olympic stadium stands out a mile - and West Ham are getting clonking good attendances like us.
