    You mean the thing that I already said? Now this is a deflection.

    Arsenal players dive every week and there's not a sniff of criticism from you.
    Your own manager has endorsed it for years by smugly smiling and claiming that he didn't see it.
    Pochettino claimed that it's part of the game and was roundly criticised by Spurs fans, as is Alli.
    You lot endorse it generally, ignore any specific cases and try to claim the high ground. It's embarrassing.

    And what you choose to do in a public toilet is none of mine. You do seem rather bitter about it, though.

    I've never done it, but I can see occasional cases when it might be warranted. Would have to be really bad, though.
    I don't get it when fans slag off **** players at matches. If they're **** and they're still playing, then that's on the manager.

    Again, not bitter. Apologies for offending you.

    You didn't offend me at all. Whatever you choose to do with consenting adults is completely up to you. <ok>

    I can understand fans getting frustrated, but Eboue got so much abuse from a section of our fans that was totally unwarranted. I hate to say it but there's a nasty streak with some Arsenal fans that single out and scapegoat certain players, not sure if it happens at other clubs, but it makes my ****ing blood boil seeing our own fans giving our players ****.

    He's been batting off responses for about 3 hours now non-stop.

    I've been out and got food in that time, he's still here <laugh>

    Yep agree with this too. There's a fine line, and you don't want to kill the very thing that gives them that edge in the first place.

    agreed ... but imo both go over the edge...bit like George Best, Gazza etc...both would have been way better had they learned to control their flaws.
    Lee Sharpe and Ryan Giggs are a good comparison......both were very arrogant and cocky but one controlled it on the pitch but one didn't and it's clear who is who.
    The game is littered with players who were arses but focused on the pitch and controlled themselves (Terry, Cole) and others whole did not (Merson, Kanchelski).

    Dele needs to focus ... if he does he will go down in history ... if he doesn't he could risk being another case of "if only". Same is True of Whilshere who finally appears to be trying to control himself.

    You're definitely offended, you're obsessed with regurgitating what I'm writing. Just calm down and we can move on and forget you ever went full *****.

    I think that there's a minority at every club that find a scapegoat every year and go after them.
    Sissoko's our current one and, while I think it's clear that he's not up to standard, he's trying hard and largely doing ok.
    I wouldn't shed any tears if we replaced him, but it's not his fault that he's not up to the job.
    That's on our manager, scouts and chairman.

    Wilshere has been loads better since he's come back for Arsenal. I think his injuries and time spent on loan have finally made him realise that he needs to get his head down and work hard if he's going to make it. Ability alone and being cocky aren't going to cut it.
