Wenger Condems Eboue!
-
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has blasted Emmanuel Eboue for diving in the UEFA Champions League defeat to Barcelona.
Eboue appeared to dive to win the free kick from which Sol Campbell scored to give Arsenal the lead in Paris.
Barcelona were unhappy with the award of the free kick and Wenger has admitted Eboue cheated to win the free kick.
Wenger was unhappy with the young full back and insists he will not stand for any cheating from any of his players.
"It is clear there was no foul. I condemn and regret the attitude of Eboue," Wenger told The People.
"I have always risen up against cheating.
"Eboue cheated by simulating the foul. I detest simulation."
Meanwhile, Ashley Cole admits he is fed up with the constant speculation regarding his future.
The likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid are both thought to be keen on luring Cole away from Highbury.
Cole's future has been the subject of debate ever since he was caught up in the 'tapping-up' scandal with Chelsea and the full back is remaining coy over his plans.
"Everyone keeps asking me the same question. I say I'm staying and then one paper says I'm leaving," said Cole.
"I don't see the point in answering the same question every time. We're just going around in circles. What more can I say?
"I've played out my heart for the club since I've been here. I've never said I was leaving. It's not down to me." -
wow..a far cry from previous seasons..
-
yeah.. can't buy that "Caution, Wenger" t-shirt from football 365 anymore

heard from news dat 2 big spanish clubs approached to sign henry, the answer from wenger, henry n arsenal is pretty obvious now.
-
well at least he is doing something right,such diving behaviour is really not characteristic of the kinda free flow attacking soccer that arsenal can potentially turn out.I for one will rather see the team i support losing honorably than winning it with dishonor.
-
we've been bashing wenger and funguson for that time too
but moan-rinho is worse than the both of them put together for their whole careers.. and he achieved it before the past season started!Originally posted by stellazio:hey.it took him 10 years to see the light ok..you should give mourinho some time too.. -
the hint they give is damn obvious..the 2 big spanish clubs do not like to be outbid by each other..wth man..might as well say the truth liao..Originally posted by 798:heard from news dat 2 big spanish clubs approached to sign henry, the answer from wenger, henry n arsenal is pretty obvious now. -

although barca won the match wif referee's help, tis match has caused henry to piss wif barca. think they can give up hope already.
-
it is not fair to say that barca won only becuz of the referee, look eboue dived and he have a free kick..Originally posted by 798:gunners want ucl cup! dat is the price!

he didn't have a choice especially since henry labelled barca as diving women...Originally posted by the Bear:probably he's seen the light..
well, looks like next season, back to bashing moan-rinho -
trying to buy back some credibility...
go hang yourself. -
The game finished one week ago liao , say what they want and what they can .
Can it changed any results ? -
haha..that part of the interview was funny...Originally posted by countdracula:he didn't have a choice especially since henry labelled barca as diving women... -
So unlike Mr Wenger..
Hahaha
But i like honest pple. -
Ever since Mourinho arrived I think Wenger's starting to become nicer so there's a gap between him and Mourinho
And for some reason (perhaps because of this) I'm starting to support Arsenal a little more...(prob. due to Henry/Walcott) I used to hate them a lot -

Good for wenger to finally clamp down on diving.
However, it would be better if he did not specifically aim the criticism at Eboe in the media.
Either make indirect references to him or just criticize him in private
