The Monday newspapers have torn Arsenal to shreds

Arsenal fans, look away now

Ben Kiely

Any Arsenal fans who haven’t gone into full Mugabe media lockdown after the Gunners’ abysmal performance at the weekend might want to reconsider their stance.

Giving away a three-goal lead then losing 2-1 to Swansea isn’t really the ideal preparation for arguably Arsenal’s biggest game of the season against Manchester United. To make matters worse, Arsenal were leading against the Swans courtesy of a second-half goal from Alexis Sanchez before a pair of substitutes pulled the game back eventually won it for the Welsh side.

The Gunners head into the Premier League’s “El Clasico” against the Red Devils in awful form, and the Monday newspapers are unrelenting with their criticism of the North London side. Some of this hits pretty close to the bone, so it would be advisable for all Gooners to look away now.
