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.

If he ditches the diving, whinging and conspicuous displays of religious faith we could have a fans favourite on our hands.
Very impressive is OTT. He played well but still has miles to go to deserve a first team start.

He spent most of last season diving, whining and on a few too many occasions leaving the elbow or the foot in. That is not the midfield hardman we are calling for. Elbowing does not equate with dominating the middle of the park.
Eboue, to me, is a player with pace and a fair bit of skill. But that will always come second to him, because mentally he suffers from some sort of persecution complex; thus the fucking whining evertime he is tackled. And he would have to go ten games in a row without diving to win me over on that score...
A squad player at best if he stops diving and fucking whining...
So in other words he is one of your favourite players DB10 ?
