Juice. Fruit juice. How do you like yours?
Unai Emery says he likes his fresh…fresh and juicy. So fresh and juicy, he’ll only accept it from the fruit itself, just like his big papa made. Given he spent so long in Seville, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised.
As a result of this very specific preference, our new head coach has, as reported earlier this week, banned anything that doesn’t meet his standards. It’s a bit like that time that Arsene banned Mars bars, but with less singing at the back of the team bus by Ian Wright.
“Yes, this is true,” replied Emery when asked if rumours of a juice ban were true.
“I only changed, I like fruit a lot and I like fruit juice. But with a lot of sugar? Not very well.
“It’s for that and when I was very young, my father was coming every day with one fresh orange fruit juice. I like in my life, more of that.
“It’s for that, when I arrived here, I asked only for that from the cook. And the players, I think, are the same. They prefer their orange juice fresh.”
We’re speculating here, but we reckon that means Unai has banned all low-cost supermarket own-brand juices, Um Bongo and those fancy juices with cutesy marketing pitches that probably have more sugar per 100ml than sugar itself.
If that doesn’t get Jamie Oliver at the Emirates, nothing will.
We are extracting the essence of Emery now.
The result of that may be fine, but I don’t think I want to view that process
You’ve never juiced a man before?
“The juicing of a man is a lot like a good marriage…”
Perhaps we can buy Antonio Valencia from Man United.
just threw up a little at the idea of “Jamie Oliver at the Emirates”
I think Emery can be summed up perfectly by Kanye.
‘No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative’
‘it gets the people going’
What’s the source of this story?
Whatever it is, you know it’s made from fresh tomatoes.
The Juicy One
The tags made my day
Jerk Rice what!!
Interesting listening to Tim Allen on merits of playing Torreira at base with Ramsey and Ozil in midfield against Cardiff likely to sit deep and take us on the break. I think he is proposing a 4-1-4-1 to pick the lock or break them down? …………………………Laca……………………………. Auba………..Ozil……………….Ramsey………..Mhki ……………………….Torreira…………………………. Monreal……..Sokratis……..Mustafi…………Bellerin ………………………..Cech……………………………. I’m not sure if Torreira is as “athletic” as he presumes. He certainly has better defensive judgement and instinct than Granit but he has been caught several time sagainst Chelsea although slightly better with West Ham. At the same time, Granit’s defensive weakness can also be exaggerated as he made… Read more »
You’ve managed to take a fairly lighthearted and humorous article about fruit juice and turn it into something super serious. A simple juice related joke would have sufficed in this case. I’ll give you a point for the ascii team formation though. Nice work.
a bit off topic.
Probably the most off-topic comment in the history of oranges
He did say ‘bar’ at the end which I can only assume referring a fresh juice bar.
Shares in Del Monte dropped 18% today. I feel for ‘the man from’…
Do they still sell Um Bongo? Or was that racist? “Um bongo bongo down in the jungle”.
It sounds racist, and if you have to ask it usually is.
Quite the opposite – I mean they drink it in the Congo right? Pretty awesome to be promoting the DR Congo’s finest products.
If only it were Rwandan, we might get a cheap deal on it!!
So…erm…you claim that if you have to ask if something is racist, then it’s racist?
Ok, then.
By the way, is your comment racist? Racist!
I despair
I wonder how gatorade have taken the news as he tells journalists he wants his players to drink fresh oj while being flanked by 2 bottles of sugar water.
Wait ’til Unai sees what’s in the Carabao Cup…
