Yeah, Emanuel Eboue was crap today. But the Arsenal fans at the Emirates who gave him stick at the end of the game and loudly applauded his substitution should go trade their tickets for seats at White Hart Lane. That lack of class doesn't belong on the Arsenal side. Even from my side of the ocean, watching the match on cable, I was embarrassed. Y'all sounded like a bunch of Americans. Really. Pathetic stuff.
I'm not Eboue's biggest fan, and if I'd been at the game, I'd have been muttering to myself about his disastrous play - and yes, I think Wenger was right to sub him off as he was liable to cost us 2 points - but still, he's a Gunner. Show him support not derision. Give him a reason to come back in the next game and kick some ass. Otherwise, as I said before, go cheer for the Tots. Wankers.
Rant off.
There was also a game today, which Arsenal won 1-0, grabbing a desperately needed 3 points. It wasn't a bad game at all, but the Gunners continued to have difficulty scoring. Ade's goal was equal parts blind fortune and graft and we hit the freakin' woodwork twice! Wigan played a very good game, particularly that pesky, hardworking Lee Cattermole. Arsenal had little time to settle and posess in the first half. The game opened up for both sides in the 2nd half and the final ten minutes were nervy, nervy moments for Arsenal fans as Wigan pressed and Arsenal was rocking on their heels.
Over at SoccerNet, the assessment of Arsenal continues to be severe. I can't say I like it. Can't say I disagree, either:
Arsenal fans again as this was the sort of display that confirms all
the doubts stated in my previous article are justified. Nervous under
set-plays, ready to crack as they clung onto a lead late on and guilty
of missing chances galore, Wenger must know he has major problems on
his hands.
Nonetheless, all's well that end's well. Next up is Port in the CL. Go Gunners!
