Fook watching Arsenal on the box mate get yaself a ticket off Sammis and watch the man in the flesh he has been immense this season, hes well over his (toys outta pram) incident at brum and also having the captaincy taken away from him, the man has been awsesome.
You sure you aint been watching Ledley King

my advice to you is this....Try turning it off then on again.
Gallas has played his best football since joining us, after his discretions last season and being known as a massive sulker, it is testament to him that he has performed so well, that and Le Boss obviously putting his faith in Gallas and getting rid of Toure, having watched Man Citeh on MOTD nobody can question he made the right decision.
Surely before you put any blame on Gallas, there are many more first teamers that have hardly put in a shift this season (Almunia/Walcott/Eduardo/Vela/Traore) and to a lesser extent Arshavin/Denilson/Nasri and Rosicky.
Something I noticed from the game yesterday and I didn't like it.
Traore was kinda all over the place for a sustained period near the end, sliced a few clearences, gave away a corner or 2 in a row if I'm right. He turned to Gallas after one scuffed clearence and it seemed pretty clear to me Traore was asking for a shout. In the tell me I've got time or a man up my arse kind of way. Gallas blanked him totally. And Traore kept asking him. Gallas wouldn't even acknowledge him. This was at 2-1 down.
William Gallas plays for William Gallas. Playing well lately or not, he's just not a team player. I have zero time for him. I do not like him.

There was 1 incident where he got completely turned upside own and where was he for the 2nd goal? This isn't a knee jerk reaction if you look at how many goals we have given away they seem to come from Gallas' errors. I first noticed it at home to everton where he slacked off to Saha's goal and it has been a continuous trend and yet everyone praises the guy.
Both Cente-Backs have been really good and have complimented one another.
Just a pity there wasn't a more secure Goalkeeper behind them.

Sounds about right from what it looked like at the time.
Traore was panicking at that point but he was shakey all game. Time was your more experienced and best CB's would guide you through the game in these instances. I just get the feeling from Gallas, as long as he don't fuck up, you're on your own.
