Martin Samuel

Pundits are already declaring the Premier League “Arsenal’s to lose” after just nine games, a claim that says far more about the media than the title race itself.

Whether he was serious or not, Martin Samuel’s comments in Tuesday’s Daily Mail are beyond ridiculous, even for their Gammon-in-chief who has already been complaining that the Women’s Super League gets too much coverage.

Just one week ago Martin Samuel complained in the Daily Mail that women’s football just isn’t ‘super enough’ to warrant detailed coverage in national newspapers and this week he got his wish as most of them ignored this weekend’s games altogether.

I don’t often find myself agreeing with the Daily Mail’s Martin Samuel but in his editorial in Tuesday’s paper he hits the nail on the head – would any other top club allow their CEO to prevaricate for so long like Arsenal have with Ivan Gazidis?

The majority of the UK papers criticised the atmosphere at Ashburton Grove on Sunday as they continue to be clueless about what is really going on at Arsenal.

Arsenal are more concerned with making money than winning titles, according to the Sunday Supplement panel on Sky Sports.
