God help us if he had. We would have been so ****ed! Thankfully we got Arteta so there is hope.If I remember correctly lots of people wanted him to take over here. That would have been fun
Guess you read the German tabloids more fervently than I ever have...
Pretty rich after writing this is response to one of my posts: "And you calling me a fan boy is the same lowgrade gutter filth trash talk fueled by hate, that the german media did on a larger scale. so shove it."
Thanks for posting. I was wondering where these comments came from. I should have read your post instead of replying to the other ones. Thanks for doing the research / knowing it.
We’ll find a new battleground faster than you can say “d’oh.” Prime candidates: Laca thread if/when he keeps playing like this into ‘21 and ‘22, or Auba thread on the back-end of a four year deal at Özil’s wages.AM when Özil leaves & this thread gets locked.
I'm not even arguing with you, I just asked you a question.
You must admit that your question to me was oddly phrased. You asked if I thought that racism didn’t exist. Go and read your own post. You did not ask if I thought racism had any impact on how Özil was treated but if it existed. You must admit that is a strange way to pose the question.I'm not even arguing with you, I just asked you a question.
A strawman implies I'm shifting goalposts to detract from an original argument but my question to you was the first interaction we had. So how is that possible?
Here is your post by the way.
Yeah I only asked it because you called someone deluded for saying that Özil's treatment by the German FA was influenced by race. So yeah the question I asked relied on you understanding the context and I thought that was clear enough. Apparently not.
The actual cause for my initial comments was the following: “The german team and media hounded him, but he didnt break..” which I called out as BS. I don’t think he was “hounded”, especially from the national team itself, **** Löw even flew to London to try to talk to Özil in person, nor was it racist that he was criticized.Yeah I only asked it because you called someone deluded for saying that Özil's treatment by the German FA was influenced by race.

Reading it in isolation I can understand where you're coming from.
You're like the one guy who was claiming Rooney was past it five years too early but is now claiming it as some sort of victory now that everyone agrees when it's quite obvious.I’m just glad that it’s now unanimous that he’s a greedy pile of old steaming **** and a total waste of resources. Just a bit disappointing that it’s taken this long for many to come to the conclusion. Talk about dragging your ****ing heels. You live and hopefully learn.

ops:
He’s been the same player for at least 5 years though. It’s you lot that are pretending he’s suddenly gone off the edge of a cliff rather than admit you were being mugged off all along. The subtle climb-down by a good few of you wasn’t worth it—all it did was prolong your embarrassment. You should have just jumped long ago, dusted yourselves down and forgot about it like a fair few others I can mention :trophy:You're like the one guy who was claiming Rooney was past it five years too early but is now claiming it as some sort of victory now that everyone agrees when it's quite obvious.
Your L has already been dished and you ate that a couple years back g.
5 years my ass.
Spot on mate. There are always big flaws in his game that his fangirls keep ignoring.
He has! Little spikes in numbers here and there doesn’t tell you the full story. That’s ALL people were clinging on to. Now they’re gone almost completely, he’s laid bare.5 years my ass.
