"Can they just admit they don't like Arsenal and would hate it if we won the league."

@johnhorton023 added:

"Macca is right, Arsenal are too good to have to waste time, they are top of the PL and CL, they should be dominating games."

@DavidPeddie said:

"McManaman like many others believe narratives and made up headlines rather than watching us. Keown is great glad we have someone like him sticking up for us. Noone acknowledges how teams set vs us! For years put up with teams defending against us & wasting time."

"Why is McManaman having a say on Arsenal, take him off these games he has absolutely nothing to do with."
