i dont think hes disliked at all infact hes one of the more popular players amonst away fans anyway, the athmosphere is always better when he plays coz hes got loads of songs aswell
eboue offers us something different from our other crerative players as he likes to run at pace and is very direct and as an attacking full back gives us a very good option!!

Is this how far we have fallen? Eboue is now a good player?
He runs at defenders? Great. Just a shame there is no end product (a decent cross or a shot on goal or God forbid a fucking goal) 99% of the time.
This cult status thing is getting ridiculous. So fucking what if he comes over to wave pickaboo at our travelling fans. I'd rather have a stroppy crunt that delivers on the pitch and just fucks off down the tunnel TBH. How precious are some people that they qualify a player based on if he is nice to them??!!
For me he is a very average back up for right back with a bit of heart but not much else. Worse, he is a diving cheating whiner with a victim complex.
Having said that I would have him on the pitch ahead of Theo but only because Theo is THAT shite.
Theo really looks out of his depth and think he isnt as good as we thought he was going to be, but he is very very young and can see him improving, but he is a bench player at the moment.
Think he may be like an ashley young of aaron lennon and will take him a few year to toughen up.

But he looked lightweight today.
Agreed, Bren - Theo is still young and I'd love to see him develop into a top player but I fear it just may never happen for the lad.

It's not about being nice to the fans, it's about showing some appreciation to the fans. People pay a lot and I mean a lot of money to go away to see games and one of the most annoying things is when these players do exactly that and fuck off without any hint of acknowledgement to the fans.
Not saying that is a reason for a player to be in the side. But I do think that it is important they acknowledge the fans.

Eboue shouldnt be starting ahead of Theo, simply because he shouldnt be playing in the midfield or on the wing. Eboue had a good start to his Arsenal career when played at right back. Last season at Highbury and first season at Emirates you could be forgiven for thinking Wenger had unearthed another gem. But then for some reason he got moved to midfield, I'm assuming to accomodate Sagna, and has gone rapidly downhill since then.
