The point is Gallas didn't just sit down though did he, he threw a massive strop. I think he threw or kicked at something then threw his arms around a bit and then sat at the opposite end of the pitch in the corner sulking, I even think someone asked him to come join the rest of the team and he refused. A leader you say? lol.

and wenger threw his water bottle down in a strop too ..... and the cap to it :D
 
Been thinking this for a while but if City make the Champions League next season I doubt they'll make it past the group stage tbh, I didn't watch tonight's game but unlike Spurs who have really taken the game to their opponents City will just be so defensive. It'll be a waste of a spot if they finish forth this season

Except for the fact that again, none of that is true in the slightest.
From what I recall he kicked one of the advertising boards, which he was basically right next to right after the penalty was given, he was angry, it was the wrong decision, see loads of players do that.

After the final whistle, he sat down, thats it, and frankly its what a leader should do, he was protesting a shockingly poor decision that changed the outcome of one of the toughest games he's ever played.


Wenger threw his bottle down, correct, almost two years later in a completely different game, well done. This is my point, this happened ages ago and has turned into a complete myth of BS about what happened. People WANT it to be a huge thing and tend to pick on Gallas, while all he did was react to a terrible game with shocking decisions by, lashing out and injuring a player...... nope, by running after the ref and putting his hands on him...... nope, by starting a mass brawl against either of the guys who dived for the freekick/penalty...... nope, he, completely exhausted and drained....... sat down.

AS for leader I say, no I don't say, Almunia said it, Fabregas said it, Sagna said it, most of the squad said he remained the leader until he left the club.

That is attrocious if you ask me - look the guy was stupid to forward the transfer bid (I guess officials in most countries lack a sense of humour), but to ban him for that long wasnt necessary

edit - sounds like Valencia will be a sub at best for the Utd/Marseille game on Tuesday , SAF has now said he wont play on Saturday (after initially wanting to include him in the squad) which surely means not starting on Tuesday, and given the time between, possibly not even that. So unless Giggs is playing both games out wide (which I cant see happening due to little recovery time) Utd are unlikely to have any natural width at all for two crucial games ....well I guess hopefully both Evra and Rafael play so that will help, but really need Park & AV back asap

He was no where near an advertisment board he actually had to be restrained by one of the bench from kicking something, then he walked off hands on hips in a strop. There is no way it can be contrived as anything other than a strop. So much a leader they let him go on a free?
