Abou Diaby watch?

[Power n Glory]

fuck support he's had years of it. there comes a time you say enough is enough. time to be selfish and stop being sentimental. being too nice has cost us over the years.

sell him. he's done.

bye.

This is the reverse of support and why footballers almost have a right to the 'fuck the fans, pay me' attitude.

Hold your horses there - which came first, the supporter who couldn't give a fuck or the footballer who couldn't give a fuck beyond the cash? Really, let's not apologise on their behalf, it's really not necessary as I'm sure they don't think an apology is even in order.

Or put another way - fuck them!

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?

NQ you're blinded by money in every argument. How far does this go? I'm guessing you earn a decent wage and probably more than a few posters on here. Should i judge you differently because of that? Say you get hit by a bus on the way to work and you're crippled. Instead of wishing you well my first reaction is...'fuck him, he'll probably get patched up on his private healthcare scheme'.

Diaby is still human and he plays for our bloody club. What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with ME? I'M all about the money?

News for you - this isn't "our" club any more. It stopped being "our" club a long time ago and (as I am sure you must have noticed) these players don't play for "us" they play for themselves. There are no connections. Could I give a shit about Diaby.

Nope.

They reap what they sow. They have taken the money and given nothing back for years. What kind of love and loyalty do you think is going to grow in barren soil like that?

There's a cut off point for everyone. Your's is at a different place than mine evidently. I'm long past mine, yours will come because none of these guys give a fuck about you.

there are stories about diaby that he is always working on fitness, doenst go on holiday but trains instead, doesnt drink, smoke or party etc. yes he is injured and takes a large pay check home but with an attitude like that, if it is true, then he is giving something back, or at least trying to isnt he NQ?

Don't believe everything they say on Arsenal.com

Diaby and Rosicky should have been flogged out of Arsenal 3-4 years back.

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!?!

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.

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.

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.

I say "fuck him" because he doesn't register with me just as I (or you) don't register with him.

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.
