Australians everywhere, please don't be too offended. On behalf of all Poms in this country, I apologise for this absolute disaster of a production. All we can say is that we hope whoever made it has been fired, and that the job security of all the players involved is being evaluated.
Arsenal have just released this piece of absolute garbage to celebrate Christmas, and it's safe to say that any future tours down under are being swiftly cancelled as we speak. Watch (if you manage to get through all thirty seconds) as three Arsenal players literally ruin Australia.
Santi Cazorla's accent is mildly better than club captain (club captain!) Per Mertesacker's absolutely filthy attempt to impersonate our Aussie cousins, Carlsberg can in hand.
The German is tossed a sausage by Cazorla, who is making a new living out of barbecue-tending while his injury heals up. Suddenly, Carl Jenkinson turns up with a cricket bat and everybody turns to say "Sweet!" at the camera for no apparent reason.
As you can see,Jenkinson is even more at seaacting than he is at playing football.
Reality then dawns as it turns out they're still stuckat Arsenal's training ground instead of sunny Australia. Everyone looks suitably disappointed to be associated with the Gunners.
There's good news concerning this guy¦

On that subject, reality is also dawning on Arsene Wenger as Arsenal have slipped to nine points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea and face a stiff test away at Manchester City on Sunday.
The title race is on the verge of becoming serious, and Arsenal have a very real chance of claiming their first title win since 2004.
