TNT Sports football commentator Martin Keown has been criticised by fans online during the broadcaster's coverage of Aston Villa vs Arsenal.
The English pundit and former professional footballer spent most of his career at Arsenal and remains involved at the club.
Keown was alongside Darren Fletcher, with the pair disagreeing on multiple occasions.
Fans have taken to social media to accuse the former Arsenal defender of being "biased" towards Mikel Arteta's side.
One wrote: "Martin Keown is the worst commentator on television. The level of bias is just absurd."
Another added: "When your main comms is telling Martin Keown to basically shut the f**k up, I think it’s time to get him off.
"Why do we keep letting him get away with such bias?"
A third said: "Martin Keown on commentary for an Arsenal game is far, far worse than anything Carragher and Neville have served up. The bias is embarrassing."
A fourth fumed: "Martin Keown is hands down the most biased commentator when it comes to the team he used to play for. Doesn’t even try and disguise it!"
Keown began his youth career at Arsenal and went on to make over 400 appearances for the club across two spells, winning numerous honours including three Premier League titles and three FA Cups.
He formed a defensive partnership with Tony Adams at both club and international levels.

Now, working for the broadcaster, he regularly features as both a commentator and a pundit.
Viewers' dissatisfaction continued with another writing: "TNT need to get Martin Keown off commentary on Arsenal games. The guys terrible and too biased."
A sixth said: "TNT stop letting Martin Keown comment on football games. He’s absolutely woeful and so one-sided."
Another fan questioned: "Can we not let Martin Keown commentate on Arsenal games?"
The Gunners went to Villa Park five points clear at the top of the table after getting back to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Brentford in midweek.
Villa currently sit in third, having won their last four games.
Fans were treated to a thrilling 4-3 win at Brighton in their latest victory.
Arsenal come into this game with just one recognised centre-back, Piero Hincapie, and one striker, Viktor Gyokeres.
