Mesut Özil Thread (official!)

[IBK]

I can't imagine our crowed booing off one the best performers after a sub.

I don't understand this. By all accounts Ozil wasn't their best performers - which is why I'm saying he copped the flak.

There is no denying the media can be full of shit, hence why I check for the quotes to see the angle.

But you're talking nonsense if you think the media have a specific agenda against Arsenal. They had no problem hyping Wilshere and now they're talking up Ramsey and deservedly so. Why would you think other teams get preferential treatment over ours? It's all down to performances and staying out of trouble. Just look at Suarez and Sturridge at the moment.

I agree. The media have no agenda. Liverpool and Citeh are flavour of the month because they play exciting football. Mourinho is loved because he provides copy. Wenger has failed too often to inspire confidence, and the media quite rightly was not convinced by our league position.

Mourinho is loved because he provides copy.

And that's not an agenda? You could apply the same reasoning to the Yorkshire Ripper. He provided plenty of copy too but who loved him? They could have plenty of copy with Maureen either way but they have picked fawning as their favoured method of interaction.

The 'Specialist of Failure' comment didn't go down well with the media and quite a few writers backed Wenger over that spat but you've either ignored it or can't see it. They weren't fawning over Jose when he said that.

It's pretty clear why the press love Mourinho, he's charismatic, jokes with them, gives them plenty to write about and doesn't get annoyed with them and react angrily, he's also a proven winner and people like that, it gives weight to their arguments/words.

Coming out with stats and simply answering questions is never going to have the same appeal, if you want support from the media you also need to win, this is the reason the likes of Ferguson and Guardiola are highly respected in the press.
