14 – Touches by Ozil
53 – Passes by Ozil¹

Wow, he really can do the impossible!

online user

Is this the first time Arsenal have led Chelsea in the EPL since Mourinho’s arrival ? Surely not.

I remember that they always got off to a quick start and Arsenal just couldn’t catch up. Can someone confirm please.

Muizz

Ramshözil is not a thing.

THEEEO

It took me so long to work out where the “sh” was coming from, I feel stupid now.

Parisian Weetabix

I do feel that Wilshere deserves to be represented by more than just a ‘h’. Without the h it would just be Ramsey and Oezil. I vote for Wimsil.

wobbly ankles

Ozshiresey?

Bould's Eyeliner

That sounds like a hobbit went down the wrong hole.

2013-2014 = 2003-2004

If dutch skunk were still around we could call it ‘Vagazil’

Hurensohn

Ö – Chance Sunderland had of winning today.

∞ – Number of Özil puns we’ll never get get bored of.

Fuck Jack o’ lanterns, THIS Halloween we have…

Who here wants Wilshere to release the ball abit quicker?

Chair

Not necessarily quicker, but he needs to improve his decisionmaking. Holding onto the ball and bursting through the players gives you good advantage if it’s successful, but he has to assess the situation and not go with his head through the wall.

heroldgoon

Bang on. Usually on the end of unnecessarry knocks that could have been avoided. When he holds onto the ball and it works out. GREAT! (joy to watch) but when it doesn’t it leaves us very vulnerable and a goal looks imminent.

Still believe in sheer will power though! coyg!

jedi

Needs to learn under Rosicky for a bit. And by under, I mean, Rosicky should be chosen over Wilshere because he’s a much better player right now and much better for the team with his experience and decision making..I hope Wenger doesnt chose Wilshere blindly because he is England’s child

Rosicky's injured though

thw14

Wilshere passes at the last second to draw the man and open up space, thus making the pass more effective – a genuine skill, not some middle-of-nowhere step-over. When he gets knocked over doing this, the rest of our lads need to get in the face of the referee and the guy who knocked him over. All the best, – Messi, Ronaldo – do this – usually they roll over some six times on the grass though when knocked down (Ronaldo. Messi I’ve honestly not noticed enough). Wilshere’s problem is not that he’s good enough to release the pass at… Read more »

I don’t want to sound negative…but if we had just signed another striker. Ooooops…nope…that sounds negative.

@_OlivierGiroud_ 4m

My knee is ok don’t worry! Thanks for your support!

Mooo

Oh, good news, where have you been?

But more importantly has his beautiful face suffered any damage..? it is imperious we have his face at it’s sparkling best….

KoyaGun

Imperious it is then! Sorry ‘Imperative’ but you are no longer needed in the English dictionary….

Not sure what were you trying to portray with that “referee’s decision” stat

Ian Wright

No Umlaut for Özil ?

Nick

1 – position Arsenal are and will be end of season..

Yaya Sanogo

Özilshey works too

eddeeee

I got a feeling bendtner could do a job if giroud is out for a while….not sure sonogo or the young lad today arw ready….bendtner has scored on prem before….stopgap before xmas spending

Bonjour

The Daily Mirror claims he is currently in Denmark working on losing weight before he comes back to train with us…

LG

Well if the Daily Mirror says he is…

Gunman

Cant wait for Cazilsey..

Matskiosaurus

Ozorlsey!

kaius

1 – Wordless argument between Mesut and Theo over who should have taken a corner on the right. Theo, he’s a lefty and he just gave you three assists man, give over! Hope they’ll sort that out as Mesut integrates. Not great team play from Theo though.

Tim, you’re a savant with your analysis, looking forward to your own match report.

Yawe

Yup, love Tim’s articles. Even in the interlull.

shuggietodd

I feel that this song nicely summarises the new season:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI2lTwY0Jx8

shuggietodd

I notice that the Ozil song was sorted out today too, basically “We love you Ozil”, to the tune of “We love you Arsenal”. It’ll do! Not as inspired as Giroud’s song mind.

beth

Should really be to the tune of “One nil to the arsenal”

Özil to the Arsenal
Özil to the Arsenal
…etc

Aussie Gooner

Oo Oo Ah Ah Ozil eyes,
You’re gonna take me to paradise!

samba05

the tricky song should be sang for rosicksy

heroldgoon

@7AM that was dreadful!

Fancy this?

“Chim chimeree, chim chim cheroo,
Real bought a chimp and we got Oziiiiiil!”

[repeat]

KoyaGun

Not dreadful at all….

Bould's Eyeliner

Sadly we need a song we can still sing when we’re plastered over an assist hat trick by Ozil. Cheers though to your lyrical talents!

Also I don’t know why people are so desperate to get Mary Poppins into an Arsenal song. first Giroud and now Ozil…

KevinH

American here – first time I’ve really watched Sunderland’s Borini play. He seems terrible at football, but I think he’d do ok at American football. I’ve never really seen someone hit it so far over the crossbar so well and so frequently.

Good showing by the Gunners though, Ozil was exciting. Could have had three assists with some decent finishing from Walcott

heroldgoon

Walcott with a hattrick of misses. Thierry Henry (the real owner of the shirt) would have had killed off the game by half time. wally wanted to increase his tally for this season and so far he has a whooping 0 goals!.

He better improve his finishing, still an asset to the team.

N/B Jack wilshere flawless on LW, versatility at it’s best. coyg

Harish P

79 – Passes out
79 – Passes in

Would someone mind explaining the out and in passes?

Passersby

Is there any reason to split Passes into two items? The In and Out figures are always going to be the same unless the player keeps the ball for the rest of the entire game.

Passersby

Oh never mind I forgot tackles, running out of play, etc. Too happy after the game to think straight.

dan

Hey Blogs…I’m pretty sure Giroud scored away at West Ham last season, didn’t he?

kiwigooner

I’m from NZ and even im pretty sure, last time I checked West Ham are a London club.
This was Girouds first EPL goal outside of the city

dan

got it, OUTSIDE LONDON!!!!

GU1TAR-D3MON

Özil was born to play for Arsenal. Didn’t look like he was out of place or it was his very first game for us, and to top it all off he was a bit “under the weather.” Imagine what he’ll be like when he is fully fit! Could have had 3 assists on his debut! Still in disbelief that he actually is an Arsenal player!

And Ramsey slowly but surely becoming my favourite Arsenal player

Sir Ali

Tackles and interceptions by flamini please?

Cyril Washbrook

Two tackles and one interception.

Jack's Right Foot

Aarsanjamez Ramcazerezil, come on guys.

…think about it.

lordgunner

2….the number of red card in 2 match for fail transfer Luis Gustavo already. Karma sucker

Clock End Mike

Not sure if anyone else has noticed or commented on this, but (if Liverpool don’t lose on Monday, which of course they may, in which case we’d remain at the top of the table)…

Our league positions over the 4 games so far this season will constitute an exact geometric progression: 16th after 1 week, 8th after 2 weeks, 4th after 3 weeks, and 2nd after 4 weeks. It’s too tempting…

Des

Nice stat CEM, and an encouraging progression, but there is a case to be made that you should get out more!

2013-2014 = 2003-2004

Not sure which comment made my knackered brain more dizzy… the one about “Aarsanjamez Ramcazerezil” or the reference to “geometric progression”.

Goontang

Well we are now second so according to Geometric law we’ll be first after game 5. Then we stay there rest of the season.

COYG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erwandy

I was stunned. Ozil is totally worth it! C7 must be squirming now that his supply of assist is now a Gooner. Ozil is MEANT for Arsenal. 10 mins and a world class assist. His touches and ball control was mesmerizing. But the best and super best part is Ramsey bossing it super world class. Strong, energetic, purposeful, motivated….all those are Ramsey. And ohhh Giroud our very own HFB, pleeaaaasee be careful with those legs….we have 55 games this season and all you need to do is score one each :p….super world class striker he is in the making no… Read more »

clee

Where did you get that photo of Ozil?

Gareth Murray

To sum it all up we’re `a touch of class´.

clee

If Ramsey keeps this up he’ll be on track for a PFA player of the year award!

Bonjour

No, it will only go to a United Chelsea or Spurs player because it is rigged

pa

riiiiiight… forgetting that it went to a certain dutch skunk while he was here season before last?

Neil #2

Out of curiosity, anyone hear anything about Diaby? (Dare I ask?)

I hope that we can take control early enough on Wed, that Özil can be subbed a bit early (and rested)

heroldgoon

@neil #2 I heard something about DIABY yes!

The Arsenal physio was going on about needing a new supply od bandages….

I assumed it’s linked…

dextermcbear

i’m on top of the world looking down on creation,
and the only reason i can find,
is the happiness i’ve found ever since he’s been around,
Özil’s put me on top of the world

i know its the carpenters but i think its fairly ok.

alternatively if we are top of the league we could.

we’re on top of the league looking down on the division
and the only reason i can find
is the goals that we’ve scored
ever since he came on board
Özil’s put us top of the league

LANS

is ramsey becoming the new bale?
no he’s not changing into a monkey
but he could become player of the year at this rate

Funky Gooner

11- mins it took Ozil to create a goal in open play

298 – mins it took Sp*rs to create a goal in open play

Ach

Millions – Number of butthurt Real Madrid’s fans

heroldgoon

^^^ What he said….
you son of a gun!

dan

has anyone noticed how on that first goal it was a combination of just lefties?
Gibbs (lefty) long ball to Ozil which controls it with his left foot, squares it for Giroud with that same foot and Giroud (lefty) hits it home.
