The Reds Vs. The Gunners

one of the most anticipated matches of the Barclays primer league. Liverpool aka the reds are the most decorated club in English football. This is a club that has a magnificent history, and is one of the top football clubs in the world. 18 league titles 5 European cups and 7 FA cups to their name.

Arsenal aka the gunners are also one of the worlds top football clubs. with a brilliant manager that has a brilliant tactical mind. arsenal have a great history that saw them win 15 league titles and 10 F.A cups. the only cup that arsenal have not got there hands on is the European cup, although they do participate in it.

this match has a great history and has produced some brilliant entertainment, and english primer league classic games along the way. last years match up was one of the classic matches. it was a thriller, ending in a 4-4 draw. Andre Arshavin aka the little russian scored all 4 goals for the gunners. while Fernando Torres aka el-nino scored 2 and Yossi Benayoun registered his name on the score sheet with the other 2 goals.

this match is highly anticipated and one of the main reasons it is highly anticipated is because of the amount of media each club gets. this is sometimes positive and other times not so much. the main reason the media is so attracted to these clubs playing against one another is because they have a galaxy of stars who can shine when playing well and create extraordinary entertainment by there use of game intelligence, and skills. all the media attraction can put pressure on these players who might not shine all the time after all they are humans. Because of all the media attraction everybody gets so hyped up and are expecting a really good match. that is not always the case. for example the last game that took place at Emirates stadium (Arsenals home ground) ended in a 1-1 draw with very little to get exited about during the 90 minutes.

the media plays a large part in the match and effects everybody that has access to media who are all of us. it can put an extra strain on the players which in turn will effect their performance. depending the the different players more media would be attracted to them if they are bigger stars. also there performance would depend on their individual ability to handle pressure.
