'This is stupid!' - Arsenal fans react to Premier League decision on potential title deciders

Arsenal are at the centre of one of the most exciting Premier League title races in recent years. Mikel Arteta is going toe-to-toe with his former colleague Pep Guardiola as the Gunners lead the way at the top of the table, two points clear of Manchester City.

The reigning champions finally moved above the north Londoners in the table last week as they picked up a 3-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium. City slipped up just days later as the title race took another twist with Guardiola's side drawing 1-1 to Nottingham Forest after Arsenal had beaten Aston Villa.

This leaves the Gunners two points clear with a game in hand that could be crucial as to who wins the title come May. With plenty of big fixtures still to come Arsenal's way in the coming weeks, fans are shocked that the next three Premier League fixtures for the north London outfit have not been selected to be televised in the UK.
