Television\u00a0personality and Arsenal supporter Piers Morgan has openly accused Mesut Ozil of being the Gunners’ equivalent of Paul Pogba in an amusing rant on social media as the two combatants resumed their engaging tit-for-tat on social media with the commentator calling the German \u2018selfish\u2019.<\/p>\n
Both Morgan and Ozil have been clashing regularly on Twitter over the years and their last Twitter feud occurred right after the latter was axed from Arsenal\u2019s Premier League and Europa League squads. The 32-year-old German\u2019s exclusion means he has not played a single minute for the Gunners so far in the last season of his contract.<\/p>\n
Despite his exile from the first team, opinions are divided regarding Ozil, who still has many Arsenal fans in support of him after joining the North London club in 2013 and helping them to win three FA Cup titles.<\/p>\n
The recent fracas between the two ensued when the German international used his Twitter account to thank the Arsenal fans for backing him during his tough period, posting a picture of himself playing at the Emirates Stadium with the crowd in the background.<\/p>\n
“The feeling of having fans behind you…” Ozil posted.<\/p>\n
However, the tweet elicited an angry response from Morgan, accusing Ozil of being Arsenal’s equivalent of Pogba, with the TV personality insisting the playmaker was seflish and not having the support of the club’s true fans.<\/p>\n
“Real Arsenal fans aren\u2019t behind you. You\u2019re our Paul Pogba – massively overpaid, massively under-performing, & shockingly overinflated sense of your own importance,\u201d Morgan tweeted.<\/p>\n
Ozil\u2019s response was prompt, calling Morgan “bitter”.<\/p>\n
\u201cPiers, buddy, are you still bitter from the other day? It seems like you’re not a big fan of World Champions. I wish you would see as good as you hear things.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morgan war of words with Ozil first began back in April, when he accused the former Real Madrid star of being selfish\u00a0when the Covid-19 pandemic was negatively impacting employment at Arsenal.<\/p>\n
