I am so BORED.
Yep, I’m one of those children this week. Someone tap me out of international week. What a waste of fucking time. The fact a team as ‘ok’ as England hadn’t lost a qualifier in 10 years until last week tells you what a total nonsense having an ‘everyone can compete’ qualifier is.
Anyway, AMN, fresh from bitching about playing in the wrong position / taking a red card to end the experiment… is talking about how bloody marv Freddie Ljungberg is as a coach.
“There’s quite a few things [I have learnt] really,”
“He knows me as a winger, so attacking-wise he’s helped my game a lot. Defensively, I go to someone else to help me because they’re two different styles that I have to play.
“Him personally, he’s pulled me to the side a lot and has shown me different techniques and ways of beating players, ways of crossing the ball and shooting. It’s helping me and I’m happy to have him around because he’s such a big figure in the team.”
If this is the first piece of evidence in the deep state conspiracy to overthrow Emery, the comments Raul made about Freddie are the makings of case, with David Ornstein’s puff piece on the man being the smoking gun.
You don’t need me to punch the numbers into your pocket calculator… I am not going to be vaccinated. Simple as that my friends. #FreddieIn
The pinch of ‘hmmm’ you have to take with these stories: Does Freddie look so damn good against Emery because he can do the basics really well… you know, like speak the language? Mad piece of intel is he’s learning Spanish so he can talk to the Emery. How mad is that?
It’s also not difficult to see who has more sauce unless you’re a weirdo on the sauce spectrum. He’s literally a legend in the eyes of those kids. They’ll have grown up on his partnership with Bergkamp, the flash of red hair, and all the trophies.
I remain sceptical, but it’s hard to when you keep hearing kid after kid going out of their way to talk about how incredible he is.
If I were Emery, I’d get on the double sessions of Rosetta Stone, because outsourcing communications is a sure-fire way to lose authority… I just pray he never loses that ‘good ebening’ opener.
In other news, can everyone jump online and celebrate this elite piece of journalism penned by the mighty Rob Smyth?
He works for a paper that truly believes Twitter is a barometer for what’s really going on in culture, if we create enough noise around this story, maybe The Guardian will rally around a ‘Save OGS’ agenda.
That’s something I could live with. #SaveOGSHeDeservesRespectAndLongDeal.
Right, that’s me done. See you in the comments. Listen to my podcast. Sound is a bit off for the first 9mins, but then it gets better because I fix the mic problem (turned it on).

Let it go FFS.

I bet Ozil has a tiny, thin little winkle. Like a tuba from the ocean that feeds next to thermal vents.

You really are setting yourself up for a major fall. Emery’s reputation is currently in the mix and it’s nothing to do with Ozil. Sanllehi’s rep is fantastic after the summer he gave us.
Sanllehi will be here long after Ozil’s gone.
Guns
Surely Labour and the Lib Dems have got to realise if they vote the deal down the public is going to blame them. Johnson’s almost on to a win win here. When there’s an election he’s the guy who got the deal done or he’ll just pitch it as Parliament vs the people and he’s on the side of the people.
Anyway enough politics for today let’s find new ways of calling Ozil inadequate.
GOH
Nope
Too many discrepancies in what they are saying.
If he has been training ok as Emery confirmed today , then he should be either on the bench or playing v Leige to gain match fitness .
Obviously Emery is lying as to why he hasn’t made the squads .

If he is what you say then why dont they come out and tell the truth instead of hodong behind this facade.

It’s because none of us like him.

Everybody knows what the truth is. Emery has a bad personal relationship with Özil. He does not like nor trust him. Özil does not respect him as a coach. Raul on the other hand views Özil as a depreciating asset. If the current coach is unwilling to use him, then we better get rid of him. Let’s try to make it as financially neutral to Arsenal. Emery and Raul need to realise that Özil and his Media team are expert. Unless something drastic happen, they will always lose the PR battle. Attempting to play games will always backfire.

A sad indictment when the highest paid player decides to win PR battles rather than focusing on delivering on the pitch
Also sad most of you are pretending Ozil’s lack of tangible contribution to the club started with Emery, revisionism at it’s finest.

And he probably has SAUCE on his beef.

I prefer your plan though.
RH
It started at birth.
Thing there is though, we’ve not been particularly playing well so like it or not, it gives the noise that Ozil should at least have played more so far a bit more weight. We look short of ideas going foward so while not his biggest fan, don’t see what the harm would be in giving the German more game time especially as we’re not exactly tearing up tress with our football at the moment
Batiste ta
Under normal circumstances I would agree with you.
I would prefer to give the youngsters a go rather than see Ozil’s miserable face ruining it for everyone.
Most normal folk know that when you have a thorn in your side, you don’t leave it in and let it go septic.
Ozil has been removed.

Ozils lack of any real Drive is infuriating. It’s so evident in his performances on the pitch, and Emery must see it in training. Not to mention his constant sick days.

Actually, I don’t think he really believes half the stuff he comes out with. Also look at Carrick and Phelan. There’s no communication between them whatsoever. We all remember that scenario with Rice and Bould.

Haha Border at the Watford Gap? Or maybe stretch to Milton Keynes?
Also this conservative talk makes me laugh. Torries run the country.
We need a centre left gov like Germany and Netherlands countries with extremely high quality of living with less divide between rich and poor.
Or should we vote those eton boys in eho care about the 1percent club because one day we will be millionaires so we don’t want to pay tax when that fairytale happens.

Yeah if they aren’t happy let them go on their way. I do think however that the EU – they’d all want to join might have a issue. 3 more countries holding their hands out for cash and one of the top 3 contributors leaving would leave the EU budget even more fucked.
Then once they all have their independence, we can have the pleasure of conquering them again and shutting them up….fuck their women, drink their beer and pilfer anything worth while like the good old days.
Give sturgeon the William Wallace treatment, there’s enough of the fat mess to go around.

I don’t know the current stat but 15 – 20 years ago 95% of income tax collected was paid by 5% of the population.
This incorrect and stupid idea that the “rich” don’t pay their way is ignorant beyond belief and that’s before you start to take into account the “rich” who run their own businesses and employ others therefore creating more wealth.
Centre left governments have created basket cases out of almost every European economy. Look at France, where government spending is over half of GDP.
The legacy of decades of economic disincentives to start or operate a business. Or Spain, or Italy. Total fiascos. Massive unemployment and underutilized labour. Of course being in the Euro doesn’t help them. But the point is that an anti-business economy helps nobody but the state bureaucracy and welfare recipients. It doesn’t raise the overall standard of living and it certainly doesn’t help the working poor.

”Another one, whose belief is more important than fact.”
Kettle black…
“Yet it is your belief that he had better defensive stats than Özil.”
Nice attempt at moving goalposts. My response was to your post in which you stated Özil had covered more ground than most Arsenal players last season. Just something that popped into your head and sounded good so you ran with it. You had no proof of that so you try to make it about defensive stats.
Bojangles
I do seem to remember a stat which said Ozil had covered a lot of ground etc – what the stat misses is the effectiveness of ground covered and putting yourself about as a player when you are needed.
I’m half Scots but I still say give the bastards their independence.

On a serious note if there was a vote for Independence you wonder how many Scot’s would make a run south over the border before it was enacted.
The Scottish economy is not viable with oil and as we live in a world that is looking to eradicate oil, gas and coal I wonder just where they expect to create wealth and jobs. Scotch whiskey is a great product but limited, the same with beef and smoked salmon – but what else does Scotland do of any note?
