Do the media love using Arsenal's pictures?

    Might just be me, but whenever I read a story about another team, that doesn't even involve Arsenal, the picture the media decides to publish, just happens to have Arsenal in it. So if it's a story on say Everton, they'd come up with an image when Everton are playing us.

    Here's another perfect example, this story is about police warning Spurs and West Ham fans from using the word yid:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24388471

    Out of all possible pictures to show, what do they show? You guessed it, Arsenal at WHL, out of all games, it's that 4-1 victory we had over Spurs a couple of seasons back in the Carling Cup!

    We're considered to be a lot more photogenic since we got rid of Nasri.

    Same thing with MOTD or Sky Sports adverts. They always seem to show Arsenal being scored against. Not a coincidence.

    I have noticed that, also noticed it's the exact same with rugby they always show a player scoring against Wales.

    They used that same picture last year for stuff related to the Y word chants. Presumably it's supposed to be for the Tottenham fans but it'll just be some Goon researcher taking the piss by showing a picture of a half empty stand at 4-1 in extra time <grr>

    When you have players like Olivier Giroud and Mikel Arteta, we're obviously going to be used in photo's more. Who would the general public rather look at, a Spaniard with great hair, or an ogre like Andy Carroll?

    Say what you want about Giroud, but no-one can argue against him being dishy as **** :emoticon-0152-heart

    Ramsey's quite handsome too.

    I think United probably have the ugliest looking team, with the likes of Ferdinand, Jones, Rooney, Anderson, Smalling.

    Our team would probably go down as the most handsome-stylish, just look at Giroud, Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky.

    To be fair, i'd rather have a team full of ugly winners than useless male models. Each time Giroud scores i half expect him to do "Blue Steel"

    When Giroud scores with a header, he gets a small mirror out to check if his hair is allright, fixing it and putting it in place.

    Meanwhile in the locker room, the players stand naked around one another as Arteta explains to them how to keep their hair fixed right in place as he does.

    Arteta looks like he has that lego hair that just pulls off
