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.

Ah, there's that wall of text I expected.

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.

So because I've had the temerity to suggest that Gallas' behaviour in what appeared to be sulking diminishes him as a leader in my eyes I'm now condoning the actions of the other players you mention? Seems like a bit of a leap to me.

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.

It isn't necessarily the action in and of itself, sometimes it's the manner in which it is done which creates the issue. I've not said or implied that he's on the same level as Nicholas Anelka as the Incredible Sulk but he seemed to go into a strop - you can disagree, in fact I'm sure you will.
 
Kaka should be off the thug.
Horrendous bunch of diving, but probably a fair score, or a 1-1.
Linesman and referee were shocking towards both teams.
Carroll was an absolute beast in the air, granted already knew that, thankfully he knows how to win a header in europe compared to crouch
 
Well nice run out for Carroll , looked promising despite the attempted decapitation. Not too bothered by the result as I can see us turning them over at Anfield. Spearing reaffirmed my suspicion that he just isn't quite good enough to top flight football, reckon he can be a decent championship player though. Naff all from passmaster poulsen again and Lucas looked a touch iffy tonight. Overall though not worried about the second leg and if our best performances come in the league this season rather than Europe I won't mind tbh.
 
Looked a lot more dangerous when Carroll came on but still not great. 1-0 away from home is always a dodgy result but we should have more than enough next week.

Uefa said that the FA could have taken retrospective action in regards to Rooney's elbow the other week, no doubt they won't take any action against Kaka for that elbow though.
 
Well poor performance, Good run out for Carroll game got better once he came on, And Sorry But again why isnt KK giving Pachecho a chance! He would have done a far better job than Cole who is getting more chances for playing crap.

You're wasting your time. There are players he likes that can do no wrong and players he hates that can do no right. Gallas he likes.

Complete rubbish, I do however not flip flop between "he's great" and "he's rubbish" like most of the people on this forum do. My views seem "stuck" because I actually see players for who they are and how they play, not their last 3 games form.

You're probably right and on that note it's a good time to go get something to eat. Good luck for what remains of the second half. :)

Again, the point is, and again you and EVERY other person who brings up Gallas's attitude always fails to answer...... what is so bad about sitting down after a tough game, please explain that one to me then we can move on.

However no ones either bothered to answer a rather simple question, or come up with embarassing replies.

You're knackered, you're mentally drained, you've seen a bone sticking out your mates leg, the ref steal 3 points from you, and you..... sit down. Sorry but when people are exhausted thats what they do. Completely exceptable for anyone else but for Gallas its an issue.

As to what Pigeon is saying, I'd say its THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. Many people on here want to believe Gallas is a pain in the butt, they bring up the fact that he doesn't have friends at Arsenal, the fact he SAT DOWN, and errm, was an extremely solid player for 3 years at Arsenal and years before with a couple titles at Chelsea.

One incident, completely understandable, I don't get upset at my players showing emotion or being angry at losing games, infact if Diaby actually looked like he cared even the slightest bit that we were losing that game I might not hate him. Yet theres an overwhelming anti Gallas feeling in general whenever anyone talks about him. When he signed for Spurs it was consistant "but he sat down" talk and talking about his "attitude" with basically no other examples.

YOu even said, incorrectly that he did this DURING a game, that would almost be unforgiveable, but after a game like that, ridiculous to make a big deal out of it.

He didn't strop, he didn't run after and shove the ref over the awful decisions like Drogba et all in the champs league, he SAT DOWN.

He's a great player, he's made mistakes, all players do, he's had bad games, but he's an incredibly good CB, Chelsea are still great at the back but frankly him and Terry together were unmatched, they were epic, one of the best partnerships the league has ever seen.

He's a great player and I like him, so what, he was great at Chelsea, then great for us, and unfortunately he's playing great for Spurs aswell, but still he gets put down for, sitting down.
