Mesut Özil is out with a foot injury in today’s matchup with Stoke, but that doesn’t stop him from being there well in spirit. In a new supporters chant that’s going viral, the Gooners have cooked up a catchy one.

It goes something to the tune of:

We’ve got Özil
Mesut Ozil
I just don’t think you understand
He’s Arsene Wenger’s man
He’s better than Zidane
We’ve got Mesut Özil

Oh, that’ll be stuck in your Boddingtons-soaked brain for a minute now.

Meanwhile, the German-Turkish wonder is stuck at home, nursing his injury on the couch.

It seems he’s aiming to be up and running for a drubbing of Chelsea next week. I bet Zidane would have played through that injury, though…
