Why was Gallas crying?

It was really wierd.

he was worried the point they gave birmingham will allow them to stay in the league and he'll have to go back to that shithole again next season.

To be fair it was hilarious. Wonder what Almunia was thinking ‘my captain has no faith in me saving the penalty’

Edited! why???? racism against Jews is allowed but not blacks?! confounded!

On here its only footballing matters.

It's amusing how some of the posters slamming Gallas for being childish are the first to spit their dummies on here when we lose a game.
I can understand Gallas' reactions simply because frankly I felt like smashing things up at the end of that game! It was an emotionally draining day and after the Eduardo thing and managing to get into a winning position, to have that kick in the teeth at the end was very hard to take.

Although I agree that Gallas should have possibly been more professional I honesly don't think it would have made a difference either way and I like that he showed that passion. There's no suggestion he was going to attack the bench, he didn't try that hard to shake off the steward, frankly if he'd wanted to attack the bench he'd have done so, I'm sure he's strong enough to shake off that steward if he meant business. He kicked the advertising hordings in anger and frustration.

Childish and petulant, maybe, but given a lot of the posters reactions on here he was not alone in failing to check his emotions.

I just hope they use yesterday's events as an inspiration for the rest of the season. If they do then we've got a great chance.

And if we don't win the league...well, that would be disappointing after how we've done thus far but virtually no-one gave us a chance at the start of the season. We are miles ahead of where we were this time last season and win the league or not the future is looking very bright at Arsenal.

why the f@ck does Gallas wear the number 10 shirt when he is a defender?

No wonder the poor bastard's confused.

From onliner gooner..........


We like our Arsenal players to bleed red and white. For it to mean as much to them as it does to we fans. So last summer, when William Gallas was voicing concerns about the strength of the squad and making it clear that another fourth place was not acceptable for this football club, I did not think he shouldn’t be rocking the boat. I thought, he’s speaking like a supporter. He was subsequently made captain by Arsene Wenger to the surprise of many.

After the events at St Andrews yesterday, I needed some time out myself. Half an hour away from anyone just to try and get my head around what happened at Birmingham. It would not have been a good idea for anyone to attempt interacting with me then.

But Gallas lost it in a way we should not expect from a leader. Frustration and anger is fine. Petulance and childishness should be the preserve of those in the stands. Undoubtedly two points were dropped due to a mixture of factors, and it does seem as if the fates are conspiring against the Gunners.

The team may have a three point lead at the top of the league, but they are up against it now. At such times, strong men are needed to steer a course through choppy waters. Not cry babies. What Arsenal lacked in the run-in of the 2002-03 season was the calming figure of Tony Adams. Had TA remained fit enough to prolong his career by a further 12 months, Manchester United would have been finished second in spite of the best efforts of Mike Riley.

There is now every indication that the Gunners could sacrifice a great chance of winning the title again in similar fashion. This is the price of inexperience and a lack of authority at the club when they are in a tight spot.

There is a popular view that Arsenal are better off with Gael Clichy than Ashley Cole. It is as emotive a view as some of the stuff that’s been posted on websites since yesterday’s match concluded. Two years ago, Clichy’s inexperience almost cost his team a place in the Champions League final in the dying moments of the game in Villarreal. He’s still learning.

Emmanuel Adebayor is still a comparatively young forward without the true intelligence of a top drawer striker. The really great players will use the percentages and have the knowledge to distinguish between the time to be selfish and the time to pass on the glory.

William Gallas has no excuse. What a young squad needs at this time is leaders. It appeared to me that the loss of two points seemed to upset the skipper more than the fate of his stricken comrade.

A word here for Bacary Sagna. Eduardo’s injury was obviously sickening, but the man who did most to comfort him as others could only look away due to the horror was a guy who lost his brother less than a fortnight ago. There is a man with the qualities it takes to be an example to others. There is a man who has every right to feel sorry for himself. William Gallas should think about his compatriot’s example next time he throws a hissy fit over a football match.

This is what I love about Arsenal fans - they think they can peer into parallel universes and the future and use their speculations as though they were fact.


No wonder people hate them, their club, their crippled players...

It's called counterfactual history you and its fairly standard in most areas of life.

It isn't the speculation that's the problem, it is the treating of speculation as fact. But sure, this is common. People are idiots. But Arsenal fans are particularly hypocritical idiots.

Fucktard. Yep, its an insult.

Try one that is actually directed at me personally. 'Fucktard' could refer to anyone. Particularly you.

He was crying because he realised that he'd left his oven on and that there weren't any Jews in it
