Mate, it won't ever get to a point where I see a shocking challenge on a player and think 'fuck him' just because he earns more money than me. There is still a morale standard.

Thinking of it, Diaby has got to be the oldest Arsenal player in the squad! Wasnt he injured playing at Highbury?! FFS this is the player carrying the torch from the glory days!?! :banghead:
Anyway, wish him a speedy recovery. I tore my ACL playing football and its a horrible injury and even worse rehabilitation period. Good luck Abu Dhabi. :good:
boo hoo. we've been mugged for too long. trying that sentimental crap doesnt work anymore pal.Quote:

sell him. he's done. take wenger with you.
It would never get to that point for me either, and yet that's what you seem to be implying. Not based on what I have posted of course. Heaven forbid.Quote:

As for him training to get fit - well I should say. I think it's a good thing he's not on holiday or smoking or going to parties, because that might be viewed by some as rubbing it in.
I have nothing against Diaby as a person but in footballing terms he's a stupid, stupid investment by any reckoning. In terms the club would express to the fans when they hike the ticket prices and sell off the star players, where's the profit? Never plays, costs a fortune, takes up a squad place. And it's been going on for years. Is it really so cruel to suggest he should be gone?
Dude, that's an Arsenal player your talking about but you're saying he gets no sympathy because of what he's paid? It's a slippery slope and it's all good talking about the club losing it's soul and selling out but that's pretty low on the books as well.Quote:
Career ending injuries were sad back when players slogged on shitty pitches and had defenders kick them up in the air 20 times a match - all for £20 quid a week. But for more than the average annual wage PER WEEK? To do nothing? Any demands for sympathy are being stretched, the sympathy comes in the form of sixty grand in the post every Friday. And the medical care for free on top which has surely cost the club a couple of trillion quid?
I am not saying I'm glad he's injured, am I? I'm saying players are in a much more comfortable situation than they used to be when injury threatens their careers. What is this sympathy anyway? Are we going to have a parade?Quote:

Would have been a proper legend could he have kept it together from here on....
All that is through the window now and this great liability has to now got to be the biggest must get rid of all time....
To think Wenger has gambled on this crock for 7 years with contract extensions along the way, him and Rosicky - both players who should have been disposed of long ago, whilst he only afforded a proper legend like Pires a 1 year contract extension, pretty much sums up the Arsenal. We have a stockpile of zero to average talent, all overpaid and give nothing in return. At the same time we strip the club of the real talent who actually produce and then declare tidy profits come year end after year end as a result.
Best run club in the world :scarf:
Tbf Rosicky has been quality on the pitch when he's been given a chance. Diaby has been a crock of shit when he plays
Yeah, but he's still been a crock who's had his contract extended as well.
