Wtf Giroud

Can't expect footballers with their Beats to have a proper taste in music. Ramsey and Gibbs do well to stick out.

I remember Edu saying that his favourite song was Lady in Red. Pure cringe.

Mirth

He was probably channeling his inner Patrick Bateman.

Wenger's not a player, but not sure there's a better place to put this great read / interview:
http://www.arsenal.com/news/features/20150514/a-day-in-the-life-of-arsene-wenger

Few highlights:

Sometimes when the confidence is low, they need be reminded how strong they are when we do things well. So you have to adapt your speech to the mental circumstances of the team at that particularly moment. What is difficult in our job is that confidence goes quickly and comes back slowly. It’s human nature to quickly think life is easy, but also to quickly think life is too hard.

So you always have to find that right level of balance between urgency and confidence. That is the most difficult thing because if you are too tense, that doesn’t work either. If the level of urgency was the only secret we’d say to the players, “If you don’t win today then we’ll kill you after the game.” Then they would win all the games. But it’s not like that. You have to find that good mixture of urgency and confidence.

😆

I’ve suffered so much over the 30 years in my career that I feel for people who are fighting not to get relegated. When you fight not to go down, that’s the real battle. Then you know the existence of the club is at stake. When you fight for first, second or third place it’s different. It’s stressful as well, of course, but the real stress is down there. Then you feel the responsibility that the whole club could go down.

Ramsey is so fucking dry 😆

And here's a deleted scene from that Aaron Ramsey interview, when my ham-fisted attempt at 'banter' went wrong:

I like how he made that interviewer feel uncomfortable.
Shows a steely side, you don't mess about with Ramsey.
He brings that attitude to his game too.

Clearly annoyed - love it 🙂

@2:13, Ramsey is such a grown up 😆

Mirth

Still better than Seinfeld.

Only two goals to choose from for goal of the month 😆 :doh: 🙁 :ffs:

John Cross saying that we're offering new deals for Alexis, Mesut and Nacho and giving them a pay-rise. Good stuff.

Seems like we're doing a much better job of protecting our assets as of late. A lot of players tied down to long-term contracts early.

New contract for Nacho. :drool:

Mikel Arteta: “When I was out, I took a few coaching lessons. I am doing my badges at the moment."
The club have been really supportive, they've allowed me to do some sessions. I'm really enjoying it. It's something I like."

Gwan Arty!

dreamlord

He's talking to the best people in football in Wenger and Pep which can only be good for his learning...
