It may be my mind playing tricks on me in my old age but I could almost swear I watched Gallas go into a right strop during a game against Birmingham and sit down on the pitch to sulk. Maybe you can say that he's just showing how much he cares about the game but it looked more like the footballing equivalent of "no mas" and whatever else you think about Roberto Duran that tarnished his image as the sulk did for Gallas.
I wasn't sure if that was normal and he usually plays like that or not because as I've said I haven't watched Spurs all that much this season.
During a game, no, in a game that lasted somewhere close to 115-120minutes due to Eduardo having his leg broken, in a game where Arsenal took the lead twice and twice had the ref give incorrect calls which gave them equalisers, in a game where he saw his friends bone sticking out of his leg screaming in agony, at the END of a very long tiring emotional game that they still should have won and were cheated out of he...............................................
wait for it.........................
sat down, the nerve, what truly terrible shocking behaviour. Barton punches people, no one questions his commitment(except a possible one to an institution), Gerrard has a bunch of mates beat up a guy in a pub and go to jail for him, Diouf spits on people, Rooney assaults someone but Gallas has the real problem because he was upset, knackered and sat the hell down.
The more I hear people try to suggest Gallas had a dramatic strop because he SAT DOWN, the more retarded I think people in general might be.
Please, please explain to me how sitting down after a shattering emotional game is bad.
For the record, what happened at the end of the carling cup final......... thats right every Arsenal player sat down, emotional, shattered upset, what about world cup games, other teams in cup finals, or big games. But its terrible that Gallas did it.
Gallas is a bit weird, supposedly a bit of an outsider at Arsenal in terms of friends, being liked, but even so he was still regarded as the main leader at the club even after being stripped of his captaincy. Friendship has nothing to do with success as one of Utds best strike partnerships would say, one that won loads of titles. He is a great player, he was a great player, he's a freaking beast, strong, great in the air scores the odd important goal, drags a team playing not their best through an important game and we let him go on a free because Wengers become a total douchebag.
....personally i dont think Serie A is all that good a league compared to other leagues esp the EPL and La Liga....
