Abou Diaby - Injuries Thread

[spendsum4uckingmoney]

Hope he retires and fucks off. Never forgiven him for his sending off against Newcastle.So selfish. He may of costed us the league that season. If he retires he's off our wage bill and my god does it need trimming.

Although Diaby's sending off didn't help, I think the other ten players still left on the pitch with only 25 minutes to hold on to a 4 goal lead should take the majority of the blame for us not winning that match!!

Exactly a stupid sending off but ffs if you can't hold onto a 4 goal lead even with 10 men other players should also take the blame for heing a bunch of bottling no balls *word censored* and add in tht fucking prick phil dowd.

This is something I don't get. People who complain that under Wenger we have been unable to defend and collapsed regularly since at least 2008 then turn round and suggest we could have won titles etc had we won games like this and Birmingham Beer Cup final.

We finished 12 points off United and in this game and every season since we reached the Champions League final we have shown we are bottlers who will blow it given half a chance of actually winning something. This year would not have been any different - you don't need to embellish the truth to emphasise what a poor result this was.

And for the record Diaby let us down that day and has done on other occasions but 10 players of a team supposedly good enough to win the title should be capable of holding a 4-goal lead against mid-table Newcastle.

Who knows maybe with Diaby on the field we would have won 4-3 the point is he started the rot. Fucking unprofessional. I would have released him after that. What a way to repay faith in Wenger.

It was stupid but Jesus Christ it's like he's the first player to ever get sent off and let a team down. Just as well we didn't release Vieira for getting sent off at the Whammers and getting a 6-game ban. Or when he got sent off twice in about 3 days the following season and had a 5-game ban.

Tht fucking fat *word censored* dowd gave them 2 of the softest pens ever and this was the game after Everton mid week where cesc allegedly asked the Everton players how much had they paid the ref as he was making some dubious decisions in their favour.my own opinion is dowd was getting payback

I do take my hat off to him for kicking that wife stealing son of a drug-dealer and shoplifter in the head

One of his best moments in an Arsenal shirt..........I'll fondly remember it for the rest of my life.

His mindset and his ankle has never been the same since this incident. Was it the same ankle smashed at sunderland later that season?

Reports today in the press that this latest problem is injury number 36 in the last 7 years. Surely once you get in the teens, or twenties it's time to not offer a new contract and let him out to pasture.

thing is that pic some us up,there is no way you would see any of our current crop sticking there head in there like terry,hence why chavski have won shed loads and we've won fark all.still nice to see diaby taking Terrys head off tho

Disagree. I think Jenkinson and Mertesacker would gladly stick their noggin where it hurts.

''I thought originally it was just a little twist of the knee," he said.

"When they told me it was a rupture of his cruciate, and when you know what this guy has gone through, how many times he has worked day and night to come back in rehab, it is just demoralising.


Ha, ha the Arsenal medical stirkes again!

[highburyJD]

ACL injuries are confirmed by scan
fully ruptured ligaments hurt when you do them - but tears hurt more afterwards
either causes a fair amount of swelling, hard to tell where you are until after a scan
that's just how it is

Really? Mertesacker has taken to trying to chest down every ball rather than head it, I presume such is his fear of hurting his poor little head with the bit of leather full of air!!

A very sad latest episode.

I fear we'll never now see the full extent of the great man's ability again

Should we have a special thread to honour all of his greatest moments?
