Foot in the water. Wish Greg Dyke would **** offKudos to the Dons for standing up to it.
Thin end of the wedge, isn't it?
Haha yeah if he's lazy then he'd never touch the bamba as much as he does.219 players played in the Premier League this weekend. Only seven of them covered more ground than Özil and only eight of them sprinted more. None of those 7 or 8 started in midweek while Özil had a similar work rate for 90 minutes on Wednesday.
This confirms my suspicion that people who call him lazy etc just don't like how he looks. Garry Neville basically admitted it on Wednesday as well.
He's just quite poor at pressing. I think that generation doesn't really appreciate pressing as a skill and reduces it to "trying hard". Players that are good at it are unfairly cast as honest workhorses, and players who are bad at it are unfairly cast as lazy (like Ozil). Also it's assumed, as with Balotelli, that even if you've never done it for your entire career you can immediately become good at it just by trying a bit harder.219 players played in the Premier League this weekend.

ExactlyYeah well the comp is a joke, so I don't mind the proposal per se, but obviously if it's being used as some kind of feeler for the B league, it's just something that needs nipping in the bud.
You know it's gonna be Man Utd and Tottenham now.Dangerous game but I'm happy for Southampton tonight. Felt awful celebrating their defeats. Arsenal 3rd, Southampton 4th would be incredible.
Maybe premature but I don't really see them challenging for 4th at this stage. They're behind the other three in form, quality and league position. All they have going for them is their remaining fixtures.Dangerous game but I'm happy for Southampton tonight. Felt awful celebrating their defeats. Arsenal 3rd, Southampton 4th would be incredible.
**** off you smug prickJon Toral is super great.
