the only one on sky who never slags us off is mullery he loves spurs thats plain and clear
I think everyone here is being a bit paranoid to be honest. The media doesn't hate us as much as you lot are making out. The problem is that we have been subjected to alot of negative analysis over the years and, let's be honest, we have been shite for a long time until recently.
You have even said that most of the gooners mentioned (Merson, Nicholas, etc) have been very complimentary on the win - so maybe it was just opinion?
Basically, we tend to hold a grudge over a negative comment that is made on the telly and never forget it which is quite ironic given the abuse you get about our players/club on this site at times.
I honestly don't think it's paranoia or imaginary. I honestly think that it's got something to do with our history and us having fallen off the pedastall a little over the last couple of decades. We are probably the biggest team in most ways outside the top4 and that makes us the biggest target. Combine that with the various natural bias from Arsenal/Chelsea/West Ham luvvies in the media & punditary.
I actually think tha Alan (Monosalabic) Smith has always been pretty fair considering. And I think Keown talks alot of sense. I always thought that le Tissier was a spurs fan ? And as for hoddle being a wanker who belittled our achievement, I think you missed alot of the stuff he said. At one point he said something like We thouroughly deserved it, and he was chuffed because of his life long ties with the club. Saying Chelsea didn't turn up is hardly belittling us when taken into context with all the good stuff he said. He is a bit of wally sometimes but he loves this club, of that I have no doubt. You have to remember that he was with chelsea for a few years and they also have a duty to try and be a bit balanced as well.
To be honest, I haven't heard anybody say anything other (TV, Press etc) than we deserved it. Which, for once, is pretty fucking sweet.
I'd like to think that they were rubbish because we were great, and subsequent reviewings of the game seems to support that - every player worked extremely hard, even if they were fresh off the subs bench or had been playing for 120 minutes.
