Pete and 8bit, admit this. The only reason Diaby is even picked for Arsenal is because Wenger is too pig-headed and stubborn to admit when he's fecked up. Any other top manager would have got shot of him already.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll accept that Diaby is inconsistent and injury prone.
But if you cant see his talent, then you're just in denial, apart from maybe Wilshere & Cazorla, he's the most naturally gifted midfielder we have at the club

Dont get me wrong, i would have lost patience a long time ago, but then again a lot of people said that about RV.

Serial it's not a competition between Diaby and Arshavin though. I try and be objective on every player, everyone's a bit bias though. I'm not a Diaby fanboy, he's got talent but obviously he's injured too much.

8bit

Arshavin does want to play. That's why he went to Zenit last season.

He just wants to stay in London too apparently, which is why he's still at Arsenal.

@ Dubbed

Brilliant comment from you. I have to admit and I agree with it.

The only reason Diaby is even picked for Arsenal is because Wenger is too pig-headed and stubborn to admit when he's fecked up.
-------
Serial this is BS, when fit Diaby walks into any PL team that and the fact Wenger is a mule is why he wont give up on him

"Dubbed, wont you just fk off? You're One of these 'world class' fanboys who rates anyone wito a good first touch."

Not necessarily, no. False.

Look at Robinho and Quaresma? Who's got a better touch than them? And they're just dross.

Look Diaby is a good player. Rosicky is useful too (even though he is nowhere near as good as he used to be).
Arshavin can be useful too, and you're right about him not being the saviour anymore.
I just find it ridiculous how you take the stance you've taken now, just to annoy people who like him.

Balotelli's a good player. Got a terrible work ethic though

"Dubbed rates balotelli "

See what I meant? Balotelli is a good player. Class actually.
Yes, overrated.
Another example.

Fabtastic is on in the day time, it must be half term

Lex he wanted to make the Euros so he went on loan last season. If he was desperate to play he would have been looking to move again this year. But at the end of the day he's under contract so fair enough. I just don't see him as hungry and wanting to prove himself and think he's just happy to see out his last year on wages he wouldn't get elsewhere, that's my opinion.

"How can you say he is class!? When has he ever shown consistency!?"

Oh the irony.

Pete?!

Balotelli is class. Very talented. If he played for us, you'd be banging on about him.
But no, carry on raving about Rosicky and Diaby. Clown.

No Lex. Diaby is class when he plays.

like this season? 1 good game against LFC. chit the rest.

Balotelli has loads of talent but he's wasting it because he's messed up in the head.

How many good games has arshavin had this season?
--------------------------------

Good Sunderland game, excellent CO C game. And a good one on Saturday. 3 out of 3.

Diaby had 1 good game only!

"Diaby is class when he plays."

Hang on a minute, just now you were talking about consistency being the measure of 'class'.

Care to expand upon that point for us then?

How many good games has arshavin had this season?
-
he has came on as a sub 4 times and provided us with a better winger than we have had this season.

How many good games has arshavin had this season?

Coventry.. what league they in again?
-----------------------

It was a football match in which Arshavin was given the chance to start and shine. And he took it.
