Time to give Eboue some credit

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.

Wasn't Adebayor like this? I want a player who is passionate about the club, and likes the fans, and not a grumpy player that fucks off to another club for a bit more money.

Correct - its a shame that credit isnt attributed as quickly as critcism is. I want players that love the club, give 100% in the shirt and perform - Eboue is doing all of these things. Ive always like Eboue, and im glad he is doing so well at present.

He has always been good, he just had a little spell where he had a run of poor games

:shock:

swale, swale, swale.

as a realist i do admire your optimism on this forum, but this is just a load of bollocks, eboue was utter shite for about 18 months

its gallasv by the way, i no longer use that one.

can't remember any arsenal player EVER with so many chants
I've heard :
Eeeemanuel Eboue (the7nation army one)

you only came to see Eboue

I like eboue boue (I like to move it)

he come from africa
he's better than kaka

four bloody chants - I reckon he's def getting credit
sagna and nasri hardly have their names sung at all
nor did gilberto or hleb

denilson might be on terrible form but he was decent last year, has scored a few and we still don't have a chant

even we've got cesc fabregas is pretty weak - still havent replaced the only 17 chant

it's because he was giving away the ball so cheaply and wasting chances in the final third

he has regained his confidence though and it's great to see, especially since he is such a fun character in the team and seems to know how to give the other players a boost whether it's on the pitch or just a smile or laugh in the dressing room.

I just hope that from now until the end of the season he doesn't look down like the cartoons who've raced over a cliff... :twisted:

I don't know why we don't sing the 'Oh Cesc Fabregas you are the love of my life' chant more often, much better than we've got Cesc Fabregas. We really need to be more imaginative than chanting a players name or Super Whoever

Made this suggestion before.

To the old 'Ian Wright, My Lord' melody:

We've got Cesc, my Lord
We've got Cesc,
We've got Cesc, my Lord
We've got Cesc,
We've got Cesc, my Lord
We've got Cesc,
Oh Lord, we've got Cesc.


We can even extended it by having the following:

Fab-re-gas, my Lord
Fab-re-gas,
Fab-re-gas, my Lord
Fab-re-gas,
Fab-re-gas, my Lord
Fab-re-gas,
Oh Lord, Fab-re-gas.



Simple to learn and remember; easy to sing and it's befitting that another great player inherits the tune. 8) :lol: :wink:
