In the first part of his latest column, John Aldridge gives his reaction to the media coverage of Arsenal vs Liverpool and assesses the Gunners' use of the dark arts
One of my biggest takeaways from Liverpool's draw with Arsenal at the weekend was how biased the coverage seemed to be towards Mikel Arteta's team.
I actually think it’s probably a bit unfair that they ask him to do Liverpool games and it's the same for Jamie Carragher when he's asked to cover United, although I think he's less blatant with his bias. To me, it just doesn’t make sense to have people commentating on their direct rivals. Okay, they were without Martin Odegaard and William Saliba but we were without the best goalkeeper in the world in Alisson Becker and probably our best goal scorer in Diogo Jota, and nothing much was said about that. It felt a bit like excuses were being made for Arsenal. But they're a good side so going there and getting a point is never a bad thing.
