Disappointment for Us, Even Worse for Freiburg and Arsene interested in Ozil??

I spent Saturday afternoon experiencing the feel of standing on the terraces for the laughable cost of €12, watching a game whilst drinking a beer (€2.50) and seeing something that I never have (and hope never will do) seen before - a 0-6 home defeat. The poor side, SC Freiburg, were systematically dissected by a far superior Werder Bremen side and much of that was down to one particular player, Mesut Özil. He ran the show, scored direct from a free kick (though quite where the goalkeeper was is another matter) and had a hand in 3 or 4 of the other goals. It may be why we are rumoured to be interested in him though he seems to fit the same mould as an Arshavin, Rosicky, Nasri or Wilshere type player and we do have a lot of those!
I was having problems (roaming signal not connecting etc) getting the result of our game from The Stadium of Light but I think that I could pretty much of predicted the scoreline after the Interlull. Too many players returning and not being focused on the club game immediately after it. Arsene's reaction in the post match interview said it all but it's the first time it has been so apparent in his tone of voice as well as the words he chose to use.
In thinking about our poor performance and then looking at the Freiburg's fans reaction to their catastrophic loss it was saddening to see how pampered Arsenal fans have become. Do you think our fans would be doing this (see below) if we were losing 5-0 at home!! I'm pretty sure our crowd would be down to the 100s by then.
