Anti Gunners Media Agenda? Or Simply Arsenal Fans Paranoia as Club merely gets the treatment it deserves?
There is no agenda by the media. Enough of the paranoia The media aren’t stealing your thoughts. No need for the tin foil hat. Look, there is no “media agenda” against us.

Well, that went a bit better, didn’t it? A convincing win at home, some breathtaking football and a clean sheet on top. Yummy. Of course we have to take a toothless Bournemouth into account.
