As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Normally I want to see players punished for sneaky, camp little offences like this but it does seem as if a different set of rules apply to The Arsenal.
It's interesting that Bennett gave Nasri a yellow at the time but now says that he didn't see the stamp and that the yellow was for the gayboys handbags that followed. Knowing our useless FA, he'll be handed a 3 match ban.
Unlike Mary Poppins Shearer who kicked Leicester's Neil Lennon in the face a few years back but avoided a ban by saying that he was "disentangling" himself.
I get so wound up to think of some of the scummy English players that have got away with evil deeds - Gerrard (self-defence Guv), Terry (generally being a chav arsehole), Cole (petulant little twat), Shearer (kick to the head), Rooney (foul mouthed abuse to refs every week).
Some chaps might start to think that the old duffers at the FA weren't overly keen on Arsenal's Foreign chappies.
I like Nasri but I thought that - goal apart - he was well below par tonight. Thus far he has tended to be a bit of a 'homer' and I'm not sure he's the type I'd want in the team on a cold night up north. I would still prefer a fit Rosicky to the frenchman for those kind of games.
However, there is no doubting that the lad has a lot of ability and hopefully the best of him is still to come this and in future seasons.

Also an assist for the 4th but agree with your point.
he had another cheeky kick at a pompey player 5 minutes in yesterday which went unnoticed by everyone it seems he has really gotta calm down with the snide attacks,its ok when its barton an stephen hunt but not every game sammy
He says how much he's improved mentally, that's he's much more mature now. He also talk about Wenger, that he talks a lot with the players about their qualities, to give them confidence, and he owes him a lot.
He says that it's unbelievable to play at Arsenal, with players like Fabregas, Denilson, Arshavin, etc .. who are always moving and asking for the ball. They all enjoy this way of play the game, and that's why they all wanted to be footballer.
He also said that he talked with Pat Rice about the Henry handball, but Pat Rice said that it was normal what Thierry did. Pat Rice told him that if we win the Champion's League final with a handball he'd still be more than happy.
How about this as a song for Nasri, which just came to me whilst doing the washing up (yes ladies, as well as being fantastic in bed, I'm domesticated too!! ).
To the melody of the old 80's classic 'Brian, Brian Marwood':
Samir, Samir Nasri,
Sami Nasri on the wi-ing.
Samir, Samir Nasri,
Sami Nasri on the wing
(to keep it going we sing)
And we've got
Samir, Samir Nasri,
Sami Nasri on the wi-ing, etc, etc
