How the BBC and Guardian love to mislead the public over Arsenal « Untold Arsenal: Arsenal News, supporting the club, the players and the manager

By Tony Attwood

A simple and short post, but one that rather makes a point.

  • Radio Times, page 53.  Chelsea v Arsenal.  Ashley Cole will get an earful from the home fans on his return to Arsenal.
  • Radio Times, page 61.  The Blues have started the season bullishly while the Gunners have be misfiring.

And just to add to the mix, The Guardian web site

  • Chelsea form guide Form guide LWWWLW
  • Arsenal form guide Form guide WWLWLW

Match pointers:

Arsenal have won none of their last eight away matches, their worst run since 1992

Err Udinese?  Marseille?

Of course we can work out what these guys mean, but it is just the sheer sloppy stupidness of it all that gets me.  Chelsea lost to QPR, Arsenal have won three of the last four league games, and six out of the last seven. The form guide of both clubs is identical over the last six league matches, and yet they can’t admit it.

I know as well as you that stats and records don’t mean we are going to win or lose, but really… why does the media do this?  Goodness knows what they will say next as they come to take in Mr Wenger’s attack on them at the AGM.
