Second I couldn't care less what the Independent has to say on things and I wouldn't trust them an inch to report faithfully what anyone said to them on any subject, ever. I never give any credence to what the media has to say about anything. I read the headlines to figure what the latest media bullshit line is and then I read the comments to check how many people have been suckered - and it's usually very few unless the story is particularly emotional. And that's what I read in this particular case and I guess for most articles those comments will still be available. I'd much rather listen to the opinion of a regular person who is in football for the love of it rather than some cunt in the media who's in it to cause as big a stink as possible.
Even so, there were some saying the booing was directed at him. But they go on to explain, it was not singling him out exclusively but was highlighting the growing and general discontent at the whole team and national set up. Ozil is their FAVOURITE PLAYER - hence the award. Booing him is the ultimate expression of discontent - at the team in general. If they can boo Ozil they can boo anyone. Even so, German fans couldn't give a fuck what Ozil is doing at Arsenal so there is zero connection. It's just the vile British media who have drawn a line between two disconnected and non-associated dots.
Ever since we pulled off such a coup to sign him the media scum have been waiting for him to fall flat. From their ill-hidden and jealous remarks about "luxury" players to the pathetic manufactured bullshit about Utd turning their nose up at him in favour of Fellaini. I mean how ridiculous does it need to get before some people figure it out? Now a vigorous first season in the huff and puff league (which the media laughably calls the best in the world, so you can see just how finely tuned their judgement isn't) has seen a dip in Ozil's form and the media wolves are all over him. Drop him from Arsenal, drop him from Germany, he shouldn't be going to the World Cup, he's weak, he went for a kebab, there's nothing subtle about this. It's almost like a punishment beating for having picked the wrong club. Where were the British media calls for Torres to be dropped from the Spanish team? Or Shevchenko to be dropped from the Ukrainian team? What business is it of theirs? None at all, they just use it to add more fuel to their fire.
Meanwhile some of our own fans are deliberately misinterpreting what is happening so they can grab another stick to beat Wenger with. Sad bastards. They are in full on temper-tantrum mode because they haven't got a shiny pot so they'll grasp at anything they can to dig a knife into the manager and the players. We all know who they are.
