Female presenter reacts strongly to criticism of Arsenal.

TV host Laura Woods criticized Alan Pardew's statement when the former Premier League manager suggested that Arsenal's style of play would be unconvincing if they won the championship.

Laura Woods called talkSPORT directly to express her frustration.

Arsenal continued to consolidate their lead in the Premier League after matchday 29 with a 1-0 victory away at Brighton on March 5th, while Man City were held to a 2-2 draw by Nottingham Forest. These results give the Gunners a 7-point lead in the standings, although Man City still have a game in hand.

However, Arsenal's performance became a topic of debate on talkSPORT . Former Newcastle United and West Ham manager Alan Pardew argued that Mikel Arteta's team was playing a pragmatic style and lacked excitement.

The 64-year-old former manager even said that if Arsenal won the title, their trophy would have an "asterisk" because of their lack of aesthetic appeal. This statement quickly drew a reaction from Laura Woods, a talkSPORT presenter and Arsenal fan.

The female host called directly into the show to refute Pardew's statement. "Alan, I really like you, but that's the most disrespectful thing I've ever heard," Woods said.

She argued that criticizing Arsenal for exploiting set pieces like free kicks or corners was unreasonable. According to Woods, Arsenal fans don't care how the team wins as long as they get closer to the championship.

Woods also recalled that Arsenal had been criticized in the past for playing beautiful football but failing to achieve results. Therefore, she argued that the current complaints were contradictory.

The debate reflects differing viewpoints on Arsenal's playing style this season. Nevertheless, with their leading position and significant gap in the table, Arteta's team is still very close to achieving their biggest goal of the season.
