And a weeks worth of puff pieces by the media. Honestly they should have directed their focus on how bad we were rather than trying to say it was all down to Arsenal and Arteta.

This is one of my (many) bugbears about the way football is commentated/reported.
Commentators, pundits, journos are often united in their 'Team X were brilliant and Team Y were woeful' narrative.
I always think it can't really be both, surely one takes precedence? In the case of the Derby it was the complete absence of our midfield in the 1st half which enabled the goons to stroll through us with ease looking like peak Brazil.
Even though this was highlighted by pretty much everyone (even Carragher spotted it FFS!) the original narrative sticks.

I think the pundits/reporters are desperate for Arteta to do well because of the way they all hailed the appointment at the start, they want to be proved right and jump on any Arsenal win as though it’s the start of something. It was the same after they beat Utd away last season.
looking at the big picture it’s good that they are not putting him under pressure as I think they are regressing under him compared to even latter day Wenger and Emery, but it’s still annoying to read.

Balls, it’s Qatar, which is pretty much a Scandinavian liberal democracy by regional standards. Nothing to mock there.

Who will be left for us then? Iran? Bahrain?

I’m not quite sure what the gap is between the Sport and the Daily Mash any more.

Arsenal are a dreadful outfit ATM
Our performance was abject especially in the first half.
I can’t remember a more tragic display from us.
