Babatunde

[Eboue-Why?]

Looks like he's been temporarily suspended. Majority think he's a Spud but I don't reckon he is. Yep goes over the top with the abuse and needs to calm down but.......... tin helmet on.....I 'enjoy' reading his threads and have no problem with his membership being reinstated asap.

Its the constant hijacking of threads to repeat the same anti-Wenger vitriol that is the problem. Look at the Redknapp one, it turned into once again him slagging someone off for daring to disagree. I don't think he's a Scum fan, I just think he's a bit of a tosser.

Not excusing the over-the-top abuse he sometimes dishes out, but the fact is even the Harry thread had some relevance to Wenger as one of the points Baba was making was that 4th wasn't deemed acceptable to the Spurs hierarchy and thus he lost his job, but it seems it is accepted at Arsenal and by a lot of the fans therefore Wenger keeps his regardless.

What I'd like to know is where Baba gets some of his stats from.

For instance, a while back, he claimed that Chesney had the 3rd worst shots to saves ration in the Prem. Where did he get the info from?? He comes out with loads of these stats. I am not denying they are true and I am not Statto but I'd simply like to know the sources.

Other than that he speaks a lot of truth.

The way Babatunde posts is frustrating. If he isn't a spud he has got his wires crossed somewhere about what being a fan is. One of his post says that Twitcher outperformed us in Europe last season and then his next blames the reader for not realising his post was innacurate If a "gooner" is going to insult everything Arsenal and at the same time attack those having a go at the scum then how on earth does he expect that is going to be received on an Arsenal website?

The scum haven't finished above us having had their best season but Baba wants to defend them and go on the attack when gooners have a laugh at their turmoil? Laughing at the scum doesn't show how fall we have fallen, we have always laughed at the spuds and will continue to do so.

This isn't about "true" fans having the courage to recognise mis-management and voice disatisfaction. Many on here have questioned the board and AW before Baba brought his insults and pseudo forum member quotes. His childish insults imply a lack of ability to debate his points and shouldn't be misread as passion. For me the jury is out as to whether he is a spud or not and if he is a gooner why is it only to hate all things Arsenal?

When he comes back I expect to be completely misquoted and insulted; but that's intelligence for you isn't it Baba??

But he was wrong. That wasn't the reason Redknapp was sacked. FFS even Redknapp said that!

How can Twitcher's sacking for achieving 4th be compared to Arsenal accepting 4th? The importance of 4th is that it qualifies for the CL. That was not the case this year. Arsenal achieving 4th has brought CL football in the past. This year was exceptional and so cannot be compared. We have no idea what the Board would do if AW failed to qualify for the CL as it hasn't happened. Maybe I should say Fact now

It's all about CL and AW has consistently achieved what 'Arry 'asn't.

... For me the jury is out as to whether he is a spud or not and if he is a gooner why is it only to hate all things Arsenal?..

To be fair C.C. that accusation could be leveled at more than just Baba. A lot of the most vicious insults towards Arsenal -and Wenger in particular - have come from long time members of the forum yet they're not constantly accused of being spuds in disguise.

I agree that baba has a tendency to go over the top sometimes and retorts with insults way too often, but the fact is that passion is very hard to control and can easily spill over into or be interpreted as aggression - as I know through personal experience in 'real life' - especially when you feel that what you're saying is being dismissed not because of the weakness of the argument, but due to people's view of you or unsubstantiated allegations as to your true allegiance.

Now I could be wrong in my evaluation but i didn't want US Martin banned and nor do I think it's right that Baba is banned just because some people were 'uncomfortable' with their view - albeit constantly repeated. After all, unless we've reached Red Member's level of fickleness, don't we all do the same thing when expressing our opinions?

Leave him banned, this place is better for the race card throwing pm grassing tosspot not being here.

He gives it but can't take it, its tragic that some pleb has started a thread defending him.

[I Hate Hleb]

Thanks Eboue-Why but I'm not sure many on here would agree. In my defence though, 15999 of them were written when under the influence!!

This from one of the people that complained about insults being thrown around.

[Gunnersaurus]

If you live by the sword you die by it, he couldn't so my right to.throw it remains.

[Gunnersaurus]

Oh, point taken.

Apologies for calling Eboue a pleb.

A strange one this, when he first came onto this forum I was convinced he was a spud, but now I'm not too sure, I didn't like the way he insulted people on here, thought he was out of order doing that, but he did, mostly, speak quite a bit of sense imo.
