To be fair, that happened a lot!

But yes, I was there but recorded the game for later and it was all Ranieri, LCFC & Arsenal rather than how our game plan thwarted and beat them.

I imagine had the Chelsea game been televised on Sky then it would have been the same story. Unfortunately, with their virtual monopoly I don't see that changing.

“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky."

Good! Don't want our tactics being dissected for all future teams to counteract.
It's the kind of thing i've learned to accept at this stage, no matter how well we play against big teams it'll always come down to how this affects them rather than how big it is for us.

The First 90 Minutes Are The Most Important!

Just been watching some of it. The Nigerian guy who sat in the palace end and was humiliated.. hahaha

When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

I don't think Sky deserve singling out for that criticism. The entire narrative in the press has been the decline of Wenger and Arsenal, as opposed to much positive outside of comments about Zaha (which is only being used to reinforce points they made about the FA/Southgate last week).

And the Leicester stuff was because Ranieri was giving his first proper interview since being sacked and I suspect they knew he was going to say someone stabbed him in the back and so they wanted to draw attention to it.

I did find the coverage (across all the media) frustrating because personally I think Arsenal's realistic top 4 challenge was already done before yesterday, while our season still had (and does have) significant amounts to play out. But that is the nature of the beast - Arsenal are a bigger club and their story is deemed to be "bigger".

I don't think it is an anti-Palace thing. Had Arsenal been playing Burnley or Soton and lost three-nil I think the stories would have been the same. Certainly after West Brom thumped them 3-1, the majority of the narrative was about how poor Arsenal were, rather than particular praise for Pulis et al.

Would also say I think the coverage would have been different had it been Spurs we beat 3-0, or Liverpool. It all adds to the story about the decline and fall of Wenger that the press/media really want to tell.

It is the way of the world.

Not saying it is right but the people interested in Arsenal is massive compared to us hence the skewed coverage.

Very good post, altough I do understand where the OP is coming from. I couldn't make the game last night because of a back injury, so had to make do with Sky Sports.

Not sure who I struggled to understand more, Ranieri or Carragher !!
