Shearer speaks out over Match of the Day bias complaints
Alan Shearer has responded to claims Match of the Day are bias against Arsenal with a brutal message to Arsenal fans.
Gooners took to Twitter over the wekeend to complain about the supposed bias against their side on ‘MOTD’ following Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester United.
It was a game in which Arsenal had the majority of possession and tried their luck at goal 33 times, but failed to overcome the in-form David De Gea.
Shearer took to Twitter to post the following message: “This is my last word on #ARSMNU. It’s pretty simple. 33 shots & 1 goal is a terrible return. Your forwards were not good enough. Conceded 3 goals at home. Your defence & keeper had a very bad day. Still you’re saying how great @Arsenal were. Do me a favour man! No bias. Fact.”

Arsenal legend Ian Wright also weighed in by criticising his former side. “Why am I seeing so much blame being attached to @BBCMOTD pundits about Arsenal not getting credit for 33 shots and 70 odd % possession! What are we supposed to say about 5 players rushing to close down Pogba, leaving Valencia free ? Just asking . Maybe the refs fault”

The Gunners have remained in the top four, but the 3-1 defeat has left them 15 points adrift of league leaders Manchester City.
