I say drop him, and if he doesn't like that, sell him.
Undignified childish nonsense like that whilst representing The Arsenal football club? Unacceptable.
Saturday was a skidmark in the underpants of our great history; a stain which can only be washed away with the soap of sacrifice.
What on earth did he do? (I've, like, stopped following football).Quote:

*Come to think of it, that might be Rooney and Milner at full pace
They did as a) I saw it and b) this was my only exposure to the Arsenal family this weekend.Quote:

I like how it is dismissed as "he just wants to play football".Quote:

I watched this yesterday morning when sober, which is how I roll with MOTD, no point in watching it live at the time.
May I suggest you use this as a template for future football highlights programming consumption.
This is odd, as I remember being struck by the fact that they didn't show it as there'd been a hoo-hah about it. I shall check the recording tonight.Quote:

He will be sold in the summer, oh yes. Not because of this incident, just how football operates.
Not at all. Simply saying I will check the facts in order to satisfy my own curiosity.Quote:
