Actually, idiots isn't even strong enough a word. I was so fucking angry when it happened, I couldn't believe it. I felt ashamed of the people that are allegedly supporting the same club as me.

But then again, what can you expect from people that leave the game 10 minutes before the end. Absolutely embarrassing.
Once again. People are booing his antics over the summer not his qualities IMO. When Eboue went down like a sack of spuds,you should of heard what was being said and the boos. Calling Ade what we have all said is as bad as booing IMO.

it doesn't matter why they booed him, it's ridiculous. He's an important player for us, very important actually, and to boo him and to purposely try and hurt his confidence is the stupidest thing one could do and isn't helping anybody. Regardless of that, you can't get much lower than that anyway.

I too screamed for Eboue to get up btw (I was sitting behind the goal). I cannot fault people for voicing their discontent when players behave like that. Somebody has to tell him to stop doing that, it's embarrassing. Other than that there is no reason to not support your players.

I wasn't impressed by Adebayor's behaviour this summer either, but he's here to stay and we have to support him like every other important player or at the very least not boo him.

My story of first day stars way back at about 11:20/11:25 in the morning at Blackhorse road station. A friend and i reached the bottom of the escelator to be greeted by a short man. This short man was wearing a baby blue jumper a large bucket hat (compleet with chav pattern) and large sunglasses. Singing
"We hate arsenal oh we hate arsenal"
I have not attended a home game for about a year and a half, so to me this was, what i assumed to be useuall match day Banta from a Spurs fan. So being the friendly king of guy who likes to see the funny side of most things, i Lauged. Quiet strongly and loudly. The SPUD then decides to attempt to confront me with the following.
"oi you muggy c**t what you f**king laughing at?"
Now he begins to try and follow me but i assume it was his train arriving on the other platform so he turns away singing. I enter my platform to find it full of Arsenal supporters (people wearing arsenal shirts/red and whit scarf's :barscarf: . Who happend to be stood in utter silence looking at the floor :oops: . Now im guessing they all may have revived the same treatment as i. But still find myself enraged that even in numbers so large, no one returned a song at this 5ft 3in SPUD C**T. :banghead:
I feel utter let down by fellow Arsenal Supporters.
The Game, Well you know what happend there!!!
