It really isn't. It never ceases to surprise me what people find priceless on the internet. I guess they love people like Michael Mccintyre and his unfunny, arena filling, depressingly unfunny ilk.

Mesut Ozil has revealed that a long telephone conversation with Arsène Wenger last Monday convinced him to sign for Arsenal and has hit out at the lack of "trust and respect" at Real Madrid. The Germany midfielder, who joined the Gunners for €50m (£42.5m) on deadline day, was persuaded by Wenger, who is fluent in German, that a move to England was the right one, despite the player initially wanting to stay at Real.

"Somehow this telephone call just flicked a switch in me," Ozil told Die Welt. "I thought: 'What he is telling me is what I have missed at Real: transparency, trust, respect. He told me exactly how he sees me [as a player], how he wants to use me, what he expects from me and what he hopes I will contribute."

The 24-year-old, who has already won 48 caps for Germany, reiterated that he is desperate to help Arsenal end a trophyless run that now stretches back eight years. "I want to win titles and will do everything in order to do that. That is my mentality."

Asked whether a tough Champions League draw, in which Arsenal were placed with Borussia Dortmund, Napoli and Marseille, is discouraging, Ozil said: "We will do everything to get as far as possible in all the competitions. I learned that at Real. I don't go into any competitions saying: 'The aim us to reach the semi-finals or the final.' When I play, I want to win."

Ozil, who played in Germany's 3-0 win against Austria on Friday and is set to face the Faroe Islands on Tuesday night, said that he had travelled to Munich to meet up with his international colleagues on a return ticket but that he has now had to ask for a single to London on Wednesday morning.

"I did not even have time to pack so my Dad is sorting all that out," he said, before adding: "The transfer fee has nothing to do with me. I would have joined Arsenal on a free."

Ozil is expected to make his Arsenal debut against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger tips midfielder Jack Wilshere, 21, to become a world-renowned football figure in the mould of Bobby Moore, Michel Platini or Zinedine Zidane.

Funny Ramsey fact, he has now something like 6 in the last 6 games, the previous six goals he needed 105 games to score.

Confirmed that Walcott's injury is worse than first feared. Absolute choker. He's out until after the international break. #afc

Arsenal look great going forward but there's a complete wilderness in their back line when the opposition break on them, entertaining to watch though.

Had a £6m bid for Pato knocked back Apparently.
