Mesut Ozil charger
You know how sometimes your car battery gives up on you just when you didn’t want it to happen, like in the middle of nowhere or at night when you are most vulnerable, and you wish you had a portable unit with you which could charge it right up? Arsene Wenger must surely be shopping around for some such similar contraption which can be used to charge up his German playmaker as he seems to be doing the same thing as the battery – dying on them in the big games.
Either that or Wenger must be going through Ozil’s internet history to figure out what his pet peeves are in a bid to find out what could get him revved up again.
Of Stolen Christmas’
After two back-to-back defeats, away from home against Everton and Manchester City, Arsenal’s players have decided to cancel their annual Christmas party as they feel it would send the wrong message. According to the Mirror, they were due to go out in fancy dress for a night out on the town, but senior players Petr Cech and Laurent Koscielny were concerned about the message this would send to their fans and everyone else.
So, no Christmas party this year. Wenger though, probably already had a Grinch costume ready just in case the party went ahead, to play spoilsport by starring in the 2016 remake of ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’.
New criticism of the refs
After the City game, Wenger had absolutely had enough of the fine referees of the Premier League. Having exercised every possible excuse of an allegation to hurl at the referees in recent years, Wenger will be looking for new innovative complaints to hurl at the men in black.
