Don't think any Arsenal fans have been that OTT about him, at least for the time being. There's been some dissapointment yes but we're hardly chasing him out of the door like we were with the likes of Almunia, Denilson, Squillachi, Bendtner etc etc.
Pretty sure Podolski was referring to the media more than anything with their sensationalist headlines calling him a flop and what not. He's fighting a losing cause at any rate.
Ozil was woeful. When he missed that penalty his head went down and that was it, might as well have substituted him.
Sanogo more promising than Giroud which says a lot about our striking options.
Robben is a cunt.
Redaction deserve a medal for their effort last night.
Losing was a blessing in disguise. We don't have the depth to challenge on 3 fronts. Focus on the FA cup and league.
Disgusting, Pathetic, Disgrace - Ozil received a trashing on Twitter from Arsenal fans.
To me Podolski's tweet reads like a call for unity. He knows full well that the media aren't interested in helping "the collective", nor is he naive enough to think that the English football press could be considered "friends" or that they could be counted on to stand together for the good of the club.
He is right however to expect some support from supporters.
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
They aren't fans. Most of them are leftovers from the time when Arsenal was a highly desirable fashion choice. You'll see the ranks swell again if some of this money starts being rolled out. I bet a few are even here for the name Ozil and are a bit pissed they didn't get their Real Madrid fix. But they aren't fans because real fans would have learned some lessons over the last couple of years and real fans want success for the club rather than their moment basking in reflected glory. It's a me, me, me, now, now, now and let's trample the wide and kids to be first society we live in. Real fans are being priced out so these shits can grab the seats. I think the players will have more than a good idea who to pay attention to and who to laugh off. That's why I can't go any more, the fucking price. That and the fact I;d punch half the fuckers there in the head, no doubt.Disgusting, Pathetic, Disgrace - Ozil received a trashing on Twitter from Arsenal fans.

And here's a thing. We (myself included) were:
Wrong about Kos.
Wrong about Ches.
Wrong about Merts.
Wrong, wrong and wrong again about Ramsey.
So I wonder, is there even the slightest chance the fans could be getting it wrong with Ozil too? I expect to see great things from this player once he settles in and gets used to the overly vigorous nature of this league.

Throw in wrong about Theo somewhere there too.
Cripps was right about Theo.
