I think he's pissed with Diaby...
He was actually. He said he was trying to get Abou into position but Abou couldn't hear him.
Heard from a guy who sits behind Arsene that he was shouting "Abou" before and after he threw his jacket.
It's funny reading through the match thread that everyone knew how f*cking atrocious Diabolical was yet he still manages to get ratings higher than a 4 in the match rating thread.
I refuse to rate him on his footballing ability so will only rate him on his ability to put his kit on right which is a mean feat. Having said that; a spuds shirt would've suited him more... especially in the first half.
now i think alot of your stick for diaby is vastly over the top and alot of it thoroughly injustified, but i've also said players deserve stick and credit where it's due, and i completely agree that yesterday diaby deserved plenty of stick.
HE WAS f***ing ATROCIOUS. other weeks ive defended him as he's not done
that badly but received utter hatred, but yesterday he was a disgrace. ran around like a headless chicken, gave it away constantly, always out of position, missed a sitter of a header, didnt track back, was just a complete joke.
i'd have taken him off after 25 minutes.
im not going to go into the next match wanting his head on a stick and ask for his death with every mistake, but it was certainly a disgrace of a performance from him in this game. and for once he deserves any criticism he gets.
