Arsenal v Newcastle United - Preview & MSM Muppet comments

[Ragatino]

Starting with that Junkie Merson. You'd think we were the plucky underdogs from midtable. Forest if you will. No one expected them to be top 4 this season. They have done great and credit to them.

Newcastle United on the other hand played UCL 2 yrs ago. Lost out last season narrowly. Won the Cup this season and absolutely have the chops to make Champions League again. This is the same fat, braindead addict who's always crowing about 50% of our team desperate to sign for the 'Specialists in Failure'.

I guess when you've abused your brain as much as this moron has that his drivel actually makes compete sense. WOW!

The goon form - They've won only 3 of their last 10, drawn 5 & lost 2.
Their Home form is pathetic for the last 5 - D-W-D-L-D


Our form - We've won 7 of our last 10, drawing 1 & losing 2.
Our last 5 away form is pretty decent - W-L-W-D-W

Brighton beat then at the Emirates last home match of theirs.

I'm not gonna suggest this is gonna be an easy match by an stretch of the imagination.
They are total hype jobs but I wouldn't disrespect another club to the levels we get disrespected by their scummy MSM muppets.
To say it's going to be so one sided in the tone of such utter clueless contempt as the sh!t churned out by the Jackie loser Merson.

I can't understand why they let him loose for anyone to listen to him.

He's hardly an authority on any thing, a just slightly above average footballer, a very poor pundit, a purveyor of total biased rubbish on Gooner events.

The only thing he's been good at is being famous as a top junkie. The mind does boggle at why he deserves an audience.

He?s probably on one of those government schemes where they pay the wages to the employer for helping to rehabilitate and reintegrate a junky into society

Clearly his agent is a vey good friend to the people in positions of power at Sky Sports. They'll be Gooners no doubt so they'll take care of him. I doubt he cost much either TBH. I know they get about ?2500-5000 a day depending on their status.

He's a muppet so he'll be on about ?1500 and they bung him an extra oner for washing the cars after the show.

Merson reminds me of a character from Bo Selecta. The Craig David one.

The sheer bias of some pundits is nausating.

We all expect some and in a lot of cases it adds some spice and emotion which is good, but some go way to far and Merson is one of them.

I like passion and opinion. I'm happy to support it from respectful and well thought-out / considered voices. Not a single thing that comes out of Merson's mouth, 90% of the panelists are partisan muppets.

If they did some research, actually looked into the stats, and at least tried to be a little objective, we can have a conversation about why they are wrong and we're right. LOL

However, as we know they basically roll in from sleeping on the floor of the local boozer, get make-up and hair done. Cheeky bump of Sniffo the braindead Ferdinose or one of the show runners and then proceed to sit in front of the camera and spout the same unintelligence drivel they always regurgitate.

There are some really good, balanced and well researched voices on social media who are Cartel fans but still manage to put their own personal allegiance aside to deliver quality coverage with technical break downs and tactical understanding.

Sadly those guys aren't in 'the old boys club' so never get a look-in.

It's one of the major reasons why people are switching their Sky Sports off and cancelling their subscriptions.

...yeah, they are controversial on purpose. They know what they are doing and I dont think they believe any of their own BS. TV bosses are happy with the public reactions/attention good or bad but I think these days its changing, fans have options for football coverage from folks whose opinions fit in with their own views. They switch off these coonts now whereas 20 years ago they couldn't.

Negative reactions are always stronger than positive ones. When it comes to 'opinion' not 'fact' sky love the complaints because it proves 'engagement.'

Why do you think that lizard lipped Gorilla Mitted scumbag Tricky D!ck Keyes is always insulting and disrespecting clubs? It's the only time he's every spoken about.
