Proof if it was needed of yet more of the anti Arsenal bias in the media. Celebrating a point away against the champions is seen as amusing....and then a dig at how we are not contenders. Imagine if Spurs or Liverpool got the same result and played the same way. Brendan Rogers would have been hailed as the new messiah! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...port-Laurent-Koscielny-secures-equaliser.html
Standard tripe. I'd say a last-minute equaliser at the home of the champions who beat almost everyone at home, after dominating the game and deserving to win is definitely worth celebrating. It stripped them of 2 points and provided Arsenal not only with a vital one, but also with the belief that they DESERVE to compete once again.
If you read the article you would see that that is literally one line in a massive article. The rest of it is pretty fair and quite a good description of the game. Think you are needlessly blowing this out of proportion.
Without the silly paragraph about Arsenal celebrating the goal i don't think there is anything wrong with the match report.I've been to home games where we've taken the piss out of away teams/fans for celebrating a draw though.
His appraisal of Mertesacker's performance is ludicrous too: 'ungainly and unable to use his height to his advantage', what a bellend, Mert was many people's man of the match!
Heck, Ive heard Manchester United fans celebrating our draw at Manchester City! I don't see why we shouldn't celebrate it!
I'm surprised anyone takes any notice of what's in the papers, each rag has about 10 sports pages to fill and they can generally only do this with lies, exageration and nonsense. Anyone who has a copy of a paper from the Summer will probably read how we've agreed a £16m deal for M'Vila, RVP intends signing a new improved 4 year contract and Wenger has been given until Christmas to save his job....
Actually theres a lot of truth the above statement. I've always felt that there's far too many news outlets and way too many journalists....so much so that they inevitably end having to write rubbish to fill the pages. This doesn't just apply to sport.
I personally love it when a team has "a 10 man pile up" when they score a last minute equaliser/winner. For me it's a sign of a strong team spirit and shows how much it means to the players. Nothing worse than scoring a goal and only 1 or 2 players celebrating, I always assume when this happens there must be cliques in the team etc.
It's not that there's too many journalists. In comparison to other industries, there's hardly any journalists. There's just an abundance of people willing to read crap stories and talk about them (like we're proving right now). News, like everything else, works on supply and demand. We demand transfer gossip, they give it to us.
The fact is most of "journalism" nowadays is utter pointless crap. We shouldn't be afraid to call it that for fear of being accused of encouraging it. There's no need for half the stuff that's written in most newspapers and magazines these days. On a serious note it's sensationalist journalists who are partly responsible for creating economic bubbles (eg creating hype around house prices) and recessions (by constant mind numbing negativity)
