Arsenal: Laughable

[Andy @ Allerton]

That dive was nearly as bad as Ronaldo's usual 20-30 game divefest.

 

Even the smug grin when he got it was disgusting.

 

Part of the reason I really don't like Arsenal. Shower of cheats.

[Benzo-13]

It was classless.

 

No sympathy from me if he does himself another bad turn.

 

Up there with Placcy's v Derby two years ago as the tie was over.

[mick]

I see that c**t Eboue scored and than there fans were all cheering his name sort of, after booing him last season...... all those gastro bars in Islington will be full tonight

 

Is this a new thing at the Emirates where they announce the first name of the player and than the fans say his second name - well around 100 of them? I know the do it in Germany

 

Never been to the Emirates but it seems like a place that lacks soul and atmosphere. Although maybe this kind of w@nk explains why

Lesser of the 3 Evils. Don't mind them all that much myself.

Been doing that for years, majorly cringeworthy.

w***, soulless ground not helped by being full of overly expectant, w***, soulless fans. 'Liverpool, hoof the ball' nice one.

Theyve been doing it a few years, its f***ing awful isnt it?

 

The tannoy bloke would say "Gil" and a couple of supporters would shout "berto". Their support is f***ing horrific, the s***test in the league.

I would have thought this would have gone down well at Anfield

In my experience that would be spurs by a big f***ing country mile, although I have never had the priviledge to go to the library or the Emirates,

but an evil none the less - that Eduardo incident earlier really p!ssed me off - I don't want to see Liverpool players doing that.

 

Wonder what Wenger will say about it? His sides down the years have always had a sneaky underhand way to them.

 

Like the kid that would run up on some fella that was being hopped on by others in the schoolyard, give him a sly boot and then leg it.

He will skirt all around the fact that one of his players dived but will then for some reason flat out say that Babel dived against them.

 

Wenger

 

He is a hypocritcal tw*t of the highest order. Can't stand him.

[floyd]

Wegner and his comments about Millwall and us reaching the Final, should endear a prolonged dislike towards this "Professeur". Didn't hear a word the following season, as he was the one to benefit

Little fvckin snide comments this cvnt always does, and gets away with it, the fvckin southern media love him.

For those who haven't seen it:

 

Eduardo

 

ANd a reminder of that Babel incident, seeing as that c*** Wenger brought it up:

 

 

The worst that could be said about Babel is that he makes the most of the contact that there undeniably is. And viewed from the angle at about 1.28 it is a definite penalty for me, as I thought at the time - Toure clearly jumps and barges him in the back. That is why you didn't get an 'apology' Wenger, you horrible slanderous c***.

 

Nothing like the Eduardo incident, where there was no contact and it is just plain, out-an-out cheating.

 

It shouldn't be forgotten that for all that they are, as others have said, the lesser of three evils, Wenger is a horriible, pompous, snidey lying b*****d in his own right.

[psl]

Can't believe he had the nerve to say Babel dived after that. Babel's was 100 times more a penalty than that.

The uproar from the English press is to guarantee that Arsenal won't get a penalty award this weekend.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Did Wenger see it ?

[Rory Fitzgerald]

First time I have seen this

 

Wenger said: "I do not want a penalty which is not a penalty, but I do not go as far to say Edaurdo dived.

 

"He went down, for what reason I do not know. But I do not think he would have complained if the penalty was not given.

 

"I believe that it was not a penalty but I'm not sure that the keeper didn't touch him with his right knee, having seen it again.

 

"And I believe that Eduardo as well, with what happened to him, he is a bit cautious. He might have jumped out of the way as well, so you have to speak to him.

 

"Is it acceptable? I never asked in my life any guy to dive to win a penalty but sometimes, the players go down because there is no other way to escape the tackling of the keeper, sometimes they dive.

 

"Look, we had a penalty against us two years ago in the quarter-final of the Champions League at Liverpool that made the difference when Babel dived, nobody ever apologised to us. That was a blatant dive."

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Just watching the Babel pen from the link above, Fabregas should have clattered him across the knees the same way numerous Liverpool players should have clattered Walcott 2 mins earlier !

Or maybe he was 'escaping the tackle of the defender.' Or is it only your players that can do that Arsene?

 

Bigger hypocrite than Ferguson, and that's going some.
