What’s Olivier Giroud ever done for us?
With shiny new French strikers on the Arsenal horizon is it time to ask?
These guys thought so……..
Reg: He’s bled us white, the bastard. He’s taken everything we had, not just from us, from our fathers and from our fathers’ fathers.
Stan: And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers.
Reg: Yes.
Stan: And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers’ fathers…
Reg: All right, Stan. Don’t labour the point. And what has he ever given us in return?
Xerxes: 69 league goals.
Reg: Oh yeah, yeah he gave us that. Yeah. That’s true.
Masked Activist: 13 Champions League Goals!
Stan: Oh yes… Champions League Goals, Reg, you remember what the UCL used to be like.
Reg: All right, I’ll grant you that the League and the Champions League Goals are two things that Giroud has done…
Matthias: And the 29 assists…
Reg: Well yes obviously the assists… the assists go without saying. But apart from the EPL goals, the UCL goals and the assists…
Another Masked Activist: 13 FA Cup goals…
Other Masked Voices: 3 FA Cup wins…the ‘scorpion’…
Reg: Yes… all right, fair enough…
Activist Near Front: And he’s a target man…
Omnes: Oh yes! True!
Francis: Yeah. That’s something we’d really miss if the Giroud left, Reg.
Magnus: He’s the best impact sub we ever had…
Stan: And he set up Rambo with his first touch to win this year’s FA Cup.
Francis: Yes, he certainly did do that… let’s face it, we wouldn’t have won the 2014 FA Cup without him either.
Reg: All right… all right… but apart from the EPL goals and the UCL goals and the assists and the FA Cup goals and 2 FA Cup wins and the ‘scorpion, and being a target man and that assist… what has Giroud ever done for us?
Xerxes: His smouldering good looks!
Reg: What!? Oh… his looks, yes… shut up !!!!!
