Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

Good news for us next season the football visionaries Sourness and Robbie Average have said Arsenal will struggle next season.

Not sure I believe that myself - this feels more like a simple olive branch being offered - but I dare say this will add fuel to that rumour.

Have heard all sorts of rumours about off field stuff, would love to know what's happened behind the scenes. It can't just be a lack of work rate in training.

Souness is a massive prick, but tbf those two won’t be the only ones writing us off. All most people will see is Liverpool and City a mile out in front with Chelsea and Man U spending big to catch up - unless you study Arsenal in micro detail you’re probably not going to have much confidence in us closing the gap and competing. We’ll see, though.

I don’t know... Özil is notorious for missing games and being unreliable and we now know Arteta is a strict disciplinarian who demands 100% commitment and is trying to rebuild a culture of accountability - I suppose something else might of gone on, but in all honesty I don’t think you need to look too much further than that for your answer.

The difference between Özil and the other players is he’s already achieved everything he needs to in the game and he already has the best contract he’s ever going to get - there’s literally nothing we can do to motivate him and nothing we can threaten him with, and he knows it. He’s basically retired and getting paid £20m/yr for it - if we’re trying to get him to do anything more than play video games all day, then what’s in it for him?

i think we are playing Ozil simply to prove to skeptics that he still exists and we havent actually had him topped off quietly
