lundekvam: "the ox was not tired or injured"

[HARLOW GOONER]

The ox would have played on until the groundsman wanted to turn the lights off and go home on Sunday night .
And as for anything he might have quoted to the media he's a young guy who's probably not experienced in talking to the press on or off the record and no doubt not been given any proper guidance from the club or his agents in those matters.
Let's see more of the ox. Up the ox.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain tells former Saint: I was fully fit against Man United


Former Southampton ace Claus Lundekvam has thrown claims surrounding Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's fitness against Manchester United into doubt, by alleging the Arsenal winger told him he was not tired or injured.

The Gunners starlet was taken off in the 73rd minute of the 2-1 defeat against United, just moments after he played in Robin van Persie for Arsenal's equaliser.
The decision was greeted by a chorus of boos from the 60,000 Emirates crowd, who were equally disgruntled with Wenger for opting to bring on the out-of-form Andrey Arshavin in his place.
The Gunners boss reacted angrily to press questioning of his decision after the game, saying Oxlade-Chamberlain was physically tired having been ill in midweek.
'Oxlade-Chamberlain had started to fatigue,' said Wenger.
'He had stretched his calf and he was sick in the week.
'I've been a manager for 30 years and have made 50,000 substitutions. I do not have to justify every decision I make.'
Skipper Van Persie also added in a statement on Facebook: 'Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had a calf injury. We did not know that but the boss did and brought Andrey Arshavin on.'
However, claims around Oxlade-Chamberlain's fitness have now been clouded by former Southampton captain Lundekvam, who was commentating on the game for Norwegian television station TV2.
The 38-year-old was asked to call the youngster to get an explanation of the incident, and later revealed the details of the conversation.
Lundekvam claims the England under-21 told him he was fully fit, and feeling good, saying: 'He said, first and foremost, that he was super happy with his first match from the start, while he was pleased to have played well.
'I also got confirmation from Alex that he was neither tired or injured.'
An Arsenal spokesperson confirmed that Oxlade-Chamberlain is feeling no after-effects of the United game, and should be available for the FA Cup clash against Aston Villa on Sunday.


now, if this is true and we were lied to again, if the man can't even accept he made a stupid decision, then he deserves no respect.

we can never forget that this may be one of those cases of a mediocre ex player trying a pundit job and just found a way to slightly distort the facts to have his minutes of fame and enhance his new career...

Hold on!!! Youre discrediting your own thread?

Come back when you've made 50000 substitutions !!




I feel a new chant brewing ..
