    The media makes him a scapegoat, not the fans.

    The same British media that ? on Zlatan for years saying he was overrated, so he single-handedly destroyed England in front of a live audience. The same British media that hyped up England's 'golden generation' yet they got humiliated in every tournament they entered.

    Unfortunately the British public buys the ? that the media feed them: even when stats prove the opposite for Ozil there are people that still constantly slate him. It's not a coincidence he's smashes it every time for Germany and has won the German Player of the Year five times. The guy is underappreciated in England and is totally wasted at Arsenal - put him in a decent team and he'd prosper.

    The British media hates Arsenal FC with a passion. Soon when we win the league all those fools will look foolish and will have no choice but to praise the team/club.

    Henry Wright Merson Dixon Nichols keown Smith, I think by far Arsenal has the most ex players as football pundits, as far as the British Media as a whole hating Arsenal, that's not true Fake News.

    It's the AFC fan TV affect. Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world with some of the most ? and moaning cry baby fans ever known to man, so they are looking at the buzz AFC fan TV is getting and they are playing off of that.

    ^^^^A pile of horseshit.

    straight facts no printer

    I know you don't want to talk about facts.

    Jose in 2013

    'There are lots of people on TV, but nobody is a Chelsea man,' said Mourinho.

    'Carragher, Liverpool. Thompson, Liverpool. Redknapp, Liverpool. Neville, Manchester United. We don’t have one. When I retire, 75 years old, I go as a pundit to defend Chelsea on television.'

    I hope he still feels like that

    Had to share this from Marca:

    I remember watching the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where all the eyes of the world were on players like Diego Maradona and Gary Lineker, but I was mesmerised by Thomas N'Kono.

    It was the things he did for Cameroon during that World Cup that inspired me to become a goalkeeper myself.”

    Anyway, I gotta stop hoping for a world cup qualification....Holland seems done for... I forgot about Morocco lol, they defeated Mali 6-0 so I was like: alright we might qualify mofos! Ziyech stepping up!

    Than yesterday we played 0-0 in Mali and Ziyech missed a penalty...could have been top in the group...

    Anyway we need more african teams in the world cup...now only a few of us can qualify lol smh...

    I read up on this around the champions league final when all eyes was on buffon potentially winning it for the first time.

    I believe he named his son Thomas after the Cameroon keeper

    Mbappe interview quotes i took from it...

    Arsenal were among his strongest suitors. “Yes, I met with Arsene Wenger, who is a great coach,” Mbappe says. “He has a great reputation here in France, he’s well-respected and knows how to develop young players. This was a real option for me. But, of course, Paris Saint-Germain was the main option.

    He was invited to Chelsea as a kid

    He played a match – wearing “Kylian 10” - for Chelsea Under-12s where he was partnered in attack by Abraham, who is currently on loan from Chelsea at Swansea City. Jeremie Boga, a French midfielder also still at Chelsea, and out on loan at Birmingham City, was also in the team.

    “We played against Charlton, I think, and we won maybe seven or eight nil,” Mbappe recalls. “I also got to meet some of the first-team players – (Didier) Drogba, (Florent) Malouda – the French-speaking ones and took some pictures with them.”
