Samir Nasri. Remember him? The former Arsenal player who signed from Marseille, who didn’t do much for a couple of seasons? Come on…try harder. Had a very decent five months at the tail end of 2010, disappeared off the radar again when things got tough. No? Had his head turned by money-talk and fucked off to Manchester City to join some other mercenaries. You know the guy. Looks like a chinless Edith Piaf? Ah…there you go…
I don’t blame you for struggling to recall his ugly little face, it’s easy to forget him since he left the Emirates, as he’s pretty much given up playing football. Thankfully for young Samir it’s just as well he’s stopped all the exercise and ball games because it turns out counting money on a subs bench in Manchester actually improves you as a footballer. Who knew?
Speaking in an interview broadcast on French channel Canal Plus, Nasri has complained that his whopping 28 Premier League starts for Arsenal last season represented ‘too much’ before making clear that being a fluffer for David Silva had improved him as a player.
“We are a $quad of 24, 25 professional$, we are all international$,” he began, neglecting to mention his nation wanted nothing to do with him at the last World Cup.
“Everyone ha$ to get some playing time. Now we only have the league left to play for maybe there will be a regular $tarting eleven.
“I keep on hearing to the left and to the right that I’m not a regular $tarter at Manche$ter City. But I’m playing a lot of game$. At Arsenal I played too much. I got injured quite a few time$ becau$e I was dead.
Dead? Dead? Excuse me while I retch a little…
“I have $cored fewer goal$ than when I wa$ at Arsenal, but I don’t have the $ame role,” he continued, presumably paying lip service to the strenuous task of being a player on the pitch.
“I have to make more effort defen$ively and I am further away from the goal. I have improved.”
You have to wonder how playing fewer games, having less of an influence, looking outright mediocre and having your own manager publicly state you could do more for the team represents an improvement.
“When I joined, I expected to win title$, to fight at the top. I’m fighting for the title of English champion.
“Per$onally I wanted to improve and I think I have improved, e$pecially mentally.”
I think we can all agree that yes, Samir you are indeed improving in the mental stakes.
“For a fir$t $ea$on, I can do better,” he concluded, stating the fucking obvious.
Arseblog News recognises that the most mature course of action would be to not pay any attention to Nasri or his lamentations on the traumas of earning millions of pounds in North London. However, we’re not in the mood to be the bigger man.
Not even JT could be a bigger man in the face of all that shite.
And he's a big man.

Former Arsenal player Nigel Winterburn believes that increased confidence is playing a key part in the spectacular run of form currently being enjoyed by his old side.
The Gunners have won their last seven Premier League matches to climb above local rivals Tottenham into third spot as they look to secure Champions League qualification, with four of those wins coming after they had fallen behind in the match.
Winterburn thinks that the players will now feel almost unbeatable and is hopeful that they can finish the season strongly before challenging for silverware next season.
“Confidence plays a big part when you are on a good run of form,” he told the club's official website.
“You just never think you are going to lose, even when you go a goal behind. You always have the belief that you will come back and that the minimum you will get is a draw.
“I think it is sometimes hard for the supporters to understand how big a part confidence plays in a player. You need great mental strength as well and I think the team has showed that."
After some poor results earlier in the season, things were looking dire for the Gunners, who briefly occupied 15th position in the Premier League, but Winterburn praised the way in which the team have recovered and put together a strong run of results.
“After AC Milan [a 4-0 away defeat in the Champions League] the players were low and they would have had to dig deep because they had some severe criticism," the former left-back added.
"But recently they have shown great desire to get back into that top four and put a run of results together.
“Some supporters were angry earlier in the season because they want this great club to be challenging for trophies.
“But now the team is on a terrific run and what they need to do now is keep that going until the end of the season, make sure Champions League football is secured and then get ready to challenge next season.”

Emmanuel Petit has stated that sacking manager Arsene Wenger would have been “the biggest mistake” Arsenal could have made.
Until the club’s recent upturn in form, the French boss had been under increasing pressure at the Emirates with fans growing frustrated after a number of trophyless seasons and the Gunners’ woeful start to the current campaign.
Petit, who played under Wenger at Monaco before being signed by the north London club in 1997, has suggested that Arsenal would have regretted axing the 62-year-old.
"Sacking Wenger would have been the biggest mistake Arsenal could have made," said Petit at the Soccerex conference.
"He is the solution for Arsenal. He just needed to change a few things, then it would come back again.
"Arsene Wenger's contribution to the Premier League is huge. Football has changed so much in England, Arsene has been part of that.
"He is like the stone of Arsenal, if you kick him out you don't know where they will go.
"But I do hope Robin will stay. I would understand it if he left because players like him need titles on their CV.
"Arsenal have to pay the loans back but if you want to fight for titles, you need to find the right mix.
"That is why the criticism of Arsenal this season has been justified and they need to try everything they can to keep him."
However, despite his praise for his former boss, Petit has been left frustrated by the latest Arsenal resurgence, suggesting if they had found their form earlier in the season they could have been celebrating a much more successful year.
"Arsenal received huge criticism after the AC Milan disappointment," he continued.
"This affected the belief and ego of the players, which is why they came back with such a big hunger to show to everyone they were wrong.
"The performances since then have been magnificent.
"But I am disappointed as well. Why did they have to wait for the criticism to show people what they can do? I am quite frustrated because it proved they can do more."
The ex-Chelsea and Barcelona man has noted that despite Arsenal’s improved showings of late, there must be further investment at the Emirates during this summer’s transfer window.
"It always seems to be the same news. You believe Arsenal will sell their best players every year.
"I understand they don't want to be paying the same transfer fees as some clubs, it is nonsense to pay £40million for a player.
"But betting all your money on a young team? You need experienced players at some point in the season.
"Maybe this team have discovered themselves mentally now but you can't wait for outside help, you have to take your pen and write your own history."
Thats just it though. He wont change a few things. He'll believe that his way is the right way regardless of how many times it fails.
Agree with everything else Petit says though

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has expressed concern over whether Gunners striker Robin van Persie will remain with the club this summer.
The Dutchman has been vital to the north London side's turnaround this season, as they overcame as sluggish start to storm into third place in the Premier League, but has just over a year remaining on his contract.
Petit believes Arsenal must qualify for the Champions League, as well as prove to Van Persie that they have the potential to win trophies in the next few seasons, in order to keep him.
By the conclusion of this campaign it will have been over seven years since Arsenal last won a trophy and, at 28, Van Persie is beginning to edge towards the latter stage of his career.
The prolific forward has scored 33 goals in all competitions this season but has only won a solitary FA Cup since joining Arsenal in 2004.
Petit said: “My main worries will be that I hope Arsenal won't let him go at the end of the season because he is a class player, an international player.
“Since he's far from the injuries he can show his full potential. He is magnificent. That's why I pray for Arsenal fans and for Arsenal that he will stay at Arsenal.
“But It depends on qualification of the Champions League. It depends as well on the ambition that Arsene will show to Van Persie to stay at the club.
“For Van Persie, his talent and what he has shown this season it will be a shame for him if he cannot win a single title in his career.
“That's why I think he must think about it very carefully.”

SAMIR NASRI has blasted Arsenal fans and insists Manchester City will still lift a trophy before the Gunners.
The Frenchman joined City from Arsenal in a £24million summer move claiming he would have a better chance of winning silverware at the Etihad Stadium.
He was roundly booed on his return to the Emirates on Sunday as City crashed to a defeat which ended their title dreams.
And after being goaded on Twitter after the game, Nasri posted: “I’m aware what I said about titles. I’m sure I will lift a trophy with Man City before AFC.
“And to all the Arsenal fans, move on. City are 10 points ahead of you.
“Just support your team and forget about me.”
Nasri also agreed to a £10,000 wager that City would win a trophy before Arsenal.
Gunners fan Piers Morgan challenged the midfielder to put his money where his mouth was and he responded: “No problem. We bet and the winner gives the money to charity.”
