Giroud: I dreamed of Arsenal (and kissing Podolski, ish)

Giroud: I dreamed of Arsenal (and kissing Podolski, ish)

Olivier Giroud says that playing for Arsenal is a dream come true. Which sounds like the usual sort of thing a player says when he joins a new club and is doing the press that surrounds it, but a couple of months (and goals) into his Arsenal career he explained why he’s so happy at the Emirates and why he wanted to kiss Lukas Podolski.

Speaking to Sport Magazine, the former Montpellier man said he was keen to follow the trail blazed by so many French players before him. Legends like Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, Robert Pires and Kaba Diawara had all graced the Gunners pitch, and he wanted to do likewise.

“Since I was very young, I dreamed of playing for Arsenal because a lot of French guys have succeeded there and it‘s a a big club,” he said.

“Every year they play in the Champions League, and that was important in my decision. But also, I believe in this team and this squad. And I think we have a great chance to win something this year.”

After missing some chances in his early games, there was pressure on the £12m summer signing to start hitting the target, and with Arsenal 1-0 down at West Ham he found a great time to get off the mark in the Premier League.

But rather than hog the praise himself he was quick to acknowledge the great pass he received from fellow new-boy Lukas Podolski.

“I was so happy, I ran to Lukas and said: ‘Come my friend, I want to kiss you. It was a wonderful moment – I want to live more moments like this.”

We at Arseblog News applaud Podolski for his pass and his faithfulness. If Giroud had tried to throw the gob on us we’d definitely have let him. And have a squeeze of a moob too (but nothing else until a second date, we’re not sluts, you know).

After a great midweek goal against Spain he’ll return to the Arsenal ready for the Premier League with renewed confidence and eroticism, and who can complain about that?

    • Is this serious or a really unfunny joke?

      Thumb up 14 Thumb down 0

    • we are just joking around about the fact that Giroud is one handsome bastard. We are by far the best looking team in the Premier League.

      Thumb up 32 Thumb down 1

      • As far as i know blogger is not a 13 yr old girl, it is the internet i guess anything is possible.

        I mostly like arseblog, but this erotic fixation on giroud is nearly as bad as all the coq jokes, funny once or twice, then just embarassing. Crowd loves it and i’m not at all surprised by the thumbs down

      • Coq jokes are not bad, Arseblog is king, you’re sour….get square or get lost

  4. How sweet. He does like to plant his smackers on his team mates. There’s a YouTube vid of him going lip to lip last season.

  5. From the picture, it looks like Podolski was having none of it………his loss.

    Thumb up 46 Thumb down 1

    • I think that was actually because Giroud is about 6’4″ and built like a lumberjack

      • I love that picture. I remember commenting on that to my wife when we were watching the game. Podolski was like “Yeah mean, I’m so happy you scored. But you’re a big fucker so don’t come jumping on me like that cause I’ll get crushed (as I’m staring into those dreamy eyes)!”

    And is there footage of it?

  18. I knew he wanted to kiss podolski after scoring that goal , saw even podolski sayin control ,shit i should have mentioned it that day itself but thought it was just me who felt he wanted to.

  19. Giroud’s interviews are never bland. I don’t know if it’s french translated to english, but he always pulls out some strange, over-the-top poetic imagery or something. There’s always a line in there that makes you think maybe he should’ve been an artist or a poet instead of a footballer.

  20. I’m the first to admit that I will swoon when he kisses the trophy and later takes it home for some x rated business.

  26. yes, more absurdist humour please. that’s what gives arseblog it’s edge (and i ‘spose the quality analysis helps). if you’re boring (or homophobic) you really shouldn’t be reading arseblog.

  28. Too much talk from Giroud IMO, he should concentrate on the pitch and let his football talk for him. Starting to sound like the greatest striker that ever lived.

    Thumb up 1 Thumb down 11

    • Just because he talk doesn’t mean he is so ego like your beloved Bendtner. You’ll eat your own humble pie once he scored 15 goals at least this season. Mark my words

  31. I strongly believe that the best is yet to come from both of them. You can see on the pitch they have a connection. Tomorrow night we need both of them to click.
