Football FanCast columnist Billy Pearson is fed up with the constant media intrusion at Arsenal football club and wonders where they get their motivation.

What is with the media and Arsenal at this moment? Every given day, somebody wants a pop at us, devalue us or try to unsettle the harmony of the club - it is growing increasingly annoying and you kind of wonder where they get their motivation from.

Whether it is an attack on our apparent prudency, linking star's elsewhere or simply a dig at Wenger, they simply can't get enough and it is certainly something that we as Arsenal fans aren't use to. This sort of media intrusion is more common place up Seven Sisters Rd, but it is clear they are to be spared this summer and we are there to be shot at both barrels.

So where is this all stemming from? Arsenal as a football club has always been the most professional of organisations. No stone is unturned and the club has strong values and principles that they adhere to. They conduct their business behind closed doors and don't use underhand tactics, or use the media to get what they want. They are very much a closed shop and yet Fleet St are there, crowbars in hand, just waiting to force it open.

I personally cannot put my finger on it and why we have become their latest plaything. Talking to some of the boys at the ‘Bank of Friendship' suggested it is just the English loving media wanting to see the club fail, due to its foreign policy. Is it really as simple as that, or is there something more sinister behind the move to unsettle the club? I see in the paper today that the Nasri deal is being delayed until after the Euros, no doubt the hacks are sharpening their pencils as we speak, with their interpretations of it - I for one just wish they would give us a break.

Who said there is no such thing as the beautiful game?
