The international break is almost over, so it’s time for punchy Bukayo Saka opinions, brutal putdowns and Zinedine Zidane mischief in a North London-centric midweek Mediawatch…
Going for Gold
Mediawatch woke up this morning pretty sure that Arsenal have more than six fans but we must hold our hands up and admit we were wrong. Every day is a school day, and today we’ve learned that Arsenal have precisely six fans.
Because The Sun have announced that ‘Arsenal fans all have the same concern about their potential new home shirt after it was ‘leaked’ online’ and they can only say this because they have tweets from all six of them to prove it.
And the concern they all apparently have is that the purported leaked kit has a bit of gold trim. And all the supporters – all six of them – fear that will only work if Arsenal win the league and have gold Premier League badges to go with the gold trim.
Here’s what they said, look.
One tweeted: ‘Only put gold on our kit if we win the league – otherwise we don’t deserve it!’
A second wrote: ‘The gold looks awful.’
A third declared: ‘We have to win this title such that the Adidas gold design would match the Premier League gold logo next season.’
A fourth commented: ‘Not gonna lie didn’t rate the original leaks but these with gold winners patches could look.’
A fifth said: ‘This literally only works if we win the league.’
While a sixth added: ‘Hope it has the gold colour lion crest for champions.’
But this comprehensive round-up of all six Arsenal fans doesn’t even quite reveal the unanimous verdict promised, does it? It’s actually two-thirds of Arsenal fans who think this kit only works if they win the league, one sixth of Arsenal fans who think it looks awful regardless and one sixth who merely hope they win the league.
Weird how this wasn’t a thing when Leicester had gold trim on their 2019/20 adidas shirts. But maybe their six fans didn’t all have the same concern. And what about Wolves? Hmm?
Language barrier
‘Zinedine Zidane comments on managing in England as he’s ‘named’ on Tottenham shortlist’ is one of those Mirror headlines where you already know it’s going to be disingenuous, and the only question is precisely how disingenuous.
So, were these Zidane comments on ‘managing in England’ issued ‘as’ he was named on Tottenham’s shortlist? Obviously not. They were from last summer, which actually wasn’t quite as bad as we’d…
