What do you guys think about the media coverage of Arsenal?
Sky seem fairly pro-Arsenal with guys like Frank McLintock, Charlie Nicholas, Alan Smith, George Graham and Brian Marwood. Even Andy Gray is beginning to appreciate us a bit!
BBC seem to be a home for retired Liverpool players with Hansen and Lawrenson - and with SchMeichel, Lineker and Crooks seem to be pretty anti-Arsenal.
Over on ITV the coverage is fairly neutral although Big Ron, Gary Newbon et al always make sure Manchester United get a mention - after Arsenal's win in Milan: 'this was a United like performance', for example.
BBC Radio Five Live seem pretty pro-Arsenal too, expecially with the introduction of the brilliant Jonathan Pearce. Taksport are Arsenal haters though - particularly Durham, Alvin Martin, Brazil and Porky.
The press seem pretty mixed. Those like the Daily Telegraph's Sports News Correspondent Mihir Bose and Sports Writer Sue Mott are clearly ****, but Smudger and Dixon also write excellently for the Telegraph. Harry Harris has now jumped ship to the Daily Express, and also it seems to Chelsea and Roman.
The Sun is pretty biased as well (no doubt Rupert's connections coming into play), while The Mirror is pretty pro-Arsenal, hardly suprising with the poshest ever Gooner, Piers Morgan, as editor.
As for the representation the club get through its website - well to me it seems pretty appalling. Match reports are fine, although any significant news is hidden away, with no unbiased comment offered. arsenal-mania.com do a fine job, with unbiased accounts are a world class forum available - keep it up!
Appreciate any thoughts?
