He was not a bad player, just an unlucky one.
The guy is a clumsy oaf, who was largely responsible for our unhonourable surrendable 4-4 draw with Newcastle and with it our prem hopes. We criticize Gallas for sitting down after the pen at Birmigham and he did far less. Diaby just didn't control his temper. Aside from that he dwells on the ball and just isn't that good. The guy is lucky that AW is just as big a fool as he is.
Even with 10 men,no team should should draw a game when they are 4 up ,so to blame diabies sending off as the only reason for that result ,no matter how crap he is,is absolute bollocks,phil the fat *word censored* dowd gave 2 of the softest penalties ive ever seen,also dowd if i remember correctly didnt send barton off for manhandling chesney in the aftermath of 1 of the penalties,plus add in tbe fact tht the rest of the team didnt have the bottle to hold out with a 4 goal advantage,the sending off didnt help but to use tht as the main reason for the result is horseshit

How many red cards in history of PL? Any how many teams have thrown away 4-goal leads?
Going down to 10 men was hardly the main cause of the defeat. Woeful refereeing handed them a goal or two and the result would have been absolutely impossibly were we not defensively clueless and completely lacking leadership and backbone.
It was sheer stupidity from Diaby but blaming him for one of the biggest jokes of the PL era is a bit far.

You've just got yourself a free steak, Cumberland ring, chicken breast and all the trimmings at the BBQ my friend.
Without injuries Abou would have pissed all over Ozil and we could have used the £42m to sign a striker instead
