Media discussion - 2024/25

Wow, Sky Sports News trying to feed the line Arsenal were unlucky & hard done too - then Mark Bosnich, summed it up perfectly; both of their goals shouldn’t have been given, Doku not a yellow as passing back to where Oliver was pointing, Trossard definitely a yellow(s) for both the challenge & smashing the ball away! Also City were the better team even before the sending off - well that probably won’t get replayed!

What nobody in the media has mentioned is that Arsenal's obsession with 'the invincibles ' has led them to a state of mind where they are afraid to lose. Even Bernie said something similar. They would rather win 1 and draw 2 than win 2 and lose 1. This is the mentality that will stop them becoming champions

To be fair to them with the team we have they can't afford to lose as we witnessed last season.

The margins from title winners to runners up are tiny.

Certainly not prevented. Much of it may be down to the players (Timber going down a second after someone else (Raya?) had had treatment was absurd - I think that was the one where they failed to put the ball out of play and the medics ran on.

Even the commentators mocked that one.

Referees are absolutely stuck in those circumstances - a player goes down claiming injury, does the ref want to be the one who ignores a real injury?

Last year or the year before, Newcastle and Villa (I think) were picked out as having excessively timewasting keepers. Arsenal won't need to do it in many matches, but it's not going to be missed by viewers. It'll go against them in public opinion.

Rules are if it isn't a head injury you play on

The media can't help themselves. The clear and obvious anti-City aganda continues unabated.

A new angle is how the plucky 10 men Arse managed to stop the best team in the world and the greatest Premier League side ever from winning the game and comparing their one season wonder invincibles with the achievements of Manchester City under Pep.

Trying to justify their teams spoiling tactics from kick-off showed the tarquins to be at least the equals of the rags and dippers in terms of entitlement and jealousy.

Not what I am reading, Roy keane is ripping into Arteta and many are following.

Arsenal have discipline issues and are far too emotional, just like their manager , they won't win a title with those attributes.

They are too emotional. Trossard was a total moron. The foul was a booking before he kicked the ball away. Arteta patted him on the back. Absurd.
