Just like Liverpool last season according to BBC United Mediacity.
Arsenal gave their hopes of beating Manchester City to the Premier League title a psychological boost as they defeated Pep Guardiola's side on penalties to win the Community Shield.
Is this the same psychological boost they got last season after "only" losing 1-0 to us in the fa cup that the same media were insisting was a thing.
You remember, when we played our best eleven and arse played their kids(lol), and arse were already ahead on points.
Honestly, any team that is our nearest/current rivals always get the bbc pandering kiss of death praise.
Wouldnt you think they would know better by now, its just poor, kneejerk, reactionary, biased journalism.
Our once great national broadcaster respected the world over, nothing more than a fanzine now.
