The Media Love Arsenal Again... (well this week)
Thursday, 13 November 08, 11:46 AM · Comments(2)
In terms of the big four clubs this week has been fairly favourable for Arsenal. With a win over Manchester United at the weekend followed by the young guns win on Tuesday night all combined with the other Carling Cup results, we're flavour of the week/day! I'm not sure how journalists get to keep their jobs when the switch and change sides more often than the Italian army. One week Arsene Wenger is on the verge of losing it/his job/the plot and the next he's back to being a genius and Ferguson is suddenly losing it etc...
It would be nice to see a certain level of consistency and you can understand why most managers generally disregard stories in the media and especially the managers of the big four. Journalists (of all media streams) seem to be forever looking for a different angle or story to justify all the different formats they need to support. As a result it becomes harder to find the true gems of a good piece of journalism.
On other fronts many Arsenal blogs are sticking a big two fingers (or similar) to Ray Wilkins for his wonderfully timed comments (see my blog from yesterday) on Arsenal using their kids to "disrespect" the Carling Cup. We saw two things last night that vindicated our approach (not that it needs vindicating) with Chelsea's so called "stars who take the cup seriously" losing to Burnley (a team with Ade Akinbyi of all people) and Liverpool playing their reserves and showing how to truly disrespect the competition by making Spurs look good.
Oh and two other stories to have a chuckle about (even if they are not such pleasant stories) are the one about Chris Morgan (a nasty player who once punched Van Persie and said it was part of the game when he was hit by someone else) who hopefully will be banned after breaking the skull of another player. The second, of course, is a repeat of the Carragher incident at Highbury with Drogba responding to a coin thrown at him last night. Let's see if the FA apply their normal consistency in both cases!
