Eboue is packing a two-footer? Impressive...
Something, anything to show he's actually doing something and not Wenger's yes man and couldn't be replaced by a mere cardboard cutout.
F*ck me some of you are bitter, 8 years he spent with us, it's no his fault that he has ambitions to win trophies and Wenger is happy with 4th.
If Wenger had shown more ambition and done the necessary maybe half our squad wouldn't want to leave, there's only one person to point the finger at and that's the guy who's been preaching for 6 years.
I don't have a problem with Cesc, he did his job, stayed for a fair while and now has ambitions to move onto to bigger and better things, can't blame him...after all who wouldn't get ridiculously frustrated by Wenger and his ways, most of the fans have lost patience with him too.

Done by the end of the weekend according to SSN this morning.
Nasri is on the brink as well.
I just hope we have something in the pipeline to replace them.
Knowing us yes....a bunch of excuses!
Can't believe we've let this drag on until just before the season starts and then have ended up losing both (if that's what happens), that is some shocking bad transfer dealings.
Pretty much.
The King Is Back.
Did anyone say that, opf is it you picking and choosing what you want to start a fight. People are Pissed because he has been acting lika a cunt lately. Until he leaves the Club he should keep acting like a proper Captain not a Pussy who needs his pals to do all his talking for him.
And if we have failed to win trophies in his time here, they he is part of the problem too, he don't get exepempt because he was our star player.
He will never be remembered as an Arsenal great anyway
I'd elaborate on this and remind people that AFC made Fabregas into what he is today. We gave him the opportunity to succeed one of the best CM's of modern times at the tender age of 17 (an opportunity he wouldn't have had in a million years at Barcelona), kept faith with him during his first 3 first team seasons when despite his talent, he was still learning his trade. We built a team round him to showcase his talents to the world, made him the highest earner at the club and gave him what should have been the honour of being club captain. In return we got 2 exceptional seasons out of him - occurring after his first 3 learning seasons and before his most recent 2 seasons - 2009/10 being marred by injury and 2010/11 being, frankly, a dispirited season in which we saw him fail to give us the dynamism, leadership and enthusiasm that might, just might, have arrested our implosion had Fabregas really given a shit by the time it arrived.
Fabregas was loyal to us for 6 years. Wenger has been loyal to him right up to the end. I've said many times before on other threads that a player's ambitions might provide a reason why he wishes to leave the club, but that is IMO different to providing a justification, and is certainly no reason for us fans to support him.
In Fabregas we have enjoyed a prodigious talent - but one that in the end provided diminishing returns to Arsenal because he was not committed to the club, while by contrast doing everything he could to assist Barcelona in 'paying us back' by getting him on the cheap.
IMO Fabregas has more or less been a Barca player for the past 12 months, and if the stories are to be believed has behaved in an unprecedented way by being prepared to sacrifice his own money to force a move. He certanly doesn't deserve to be regarded as an Arsenal legend, and despite his PR efforts, I don't believe that he untimately gives a toss about this.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
2 exceptional seasons in a team not doing what it should is not a bad return, i'm not sure other players at his age can do even that. on top of carrying the most assists over the past 5 years across europe, that's not bad going really.
fabregas was given the chance to shine but HE made himself what he is today, no one else.
def not an arsenal legend but his talent will be notably missed from our team. even in seasons when he was injured like last year, he still racked up the assists and chance more than others in the team
1 and a half. fell away badly after christmas in 07/08.
that team was good enough to win the league. he was pretty much the main reason we didnt. (hleb, adebayor, flamini managed to maintain roughly the same level)
