PREJUDICE is in the eye of the TV viewer and the ear of the listener on the radio.

But I was taken aback by the perception of keyboard warriors, four hours’ flying time from Moscow, that I have an antiArsenal agenda. I was delighted for Arsene Wenger they reached the Europa League semi-finals. His substitution of Jack Wilshere for Calum Chambers was a brave call – but it was vindicated by their late fightback to close out the tie.

If my commentary on BT Sport was critical in parts, what did the fans back home expect me to say when Arsenal were 2-0 down, playing poorly, and it looked as if they might go out of Europe?
