If Santry continues to attempt to pass off his obviously biased opinions of Eboue (or Kolo for that matter) as some sort of historically accurate assessments of his play, I'm gonna call "Shenanigans" and start a poll to see what the little people think.

And hey big fella, was that "At least.. I think that's what he said" remark about Eboue a product of your well known culturally sensitive side?

While I may not be pure in the enjoyment I got from giving my opinion of Eboue it isn't in any way biased. I can back up, argue, prove and defend anything I have ever said about him. The enjoyment i may indirectly get is is based off your nonsensical crap which would rather not speak about topics you cannot dominate and throw outbgallery waves. On the other hand you wouldn't comment on the obvious bias towards Eboue which is caused by a misty eyed certain poster, and his desire to depict one of our worst players in recent times as being the victim of the dreaded Wenger.

I made a comment about the poor diction that the player displayed in the press conference referred to at the outset. Poor diction is, last time I checked, an individual attribute. The fact of his nervous and sheepish media input was a matter of comment by a lot of the gooner nation. However, when you next break into your pot smoking Jamaican patois I will be watching and waiting, which obviously lampooning an accent... Mon.

I love how the sherrif claims the new board is peaceful, but leap down your enemies throat. Rank hypocrisy in other words.

Since the extent that you go to trash both Ivory Coast internationals (Eboue and Kolo) gives me reasonable suspicion about your biases here, I am forced to "wave to the gallery" and ask for their opinions. I have a ride to get to, but I should have he poll up by tomorrow morning PST.

As to your shot at Eboue's speech, even if we accept that you were merely poking fun at his diction, it still sees you as more than a bit petty and mean spirited. Was it Kolo who stole your girlfriend and Eboue that stole your lunch money, or was it the other way around?

Ah, we try to use a little childish wise cracking to get yourself off the hook. Feel free to put whatever poll you like up. All that will confirm is that you can sometimes motivate the gallery to become extras in your grand game of pisantism. Under no circumstances have I a bias against the Ivory Coast its people, or its players. Why wouldn't I put the boot into Djourou, Gervinho, Sanogo, Drogba and so on if that was true. Why would I have a long track record of doing just the opposite in fact. Mind you, the truth should never get in the way of your enjoyment and self indulgence.

I would love you to do that with the poll. The claims of just being interested in football discussion would have to end wouldn't they. And it would do much to assist the view of you shared by the quieter posters on this board and the last about (a) populism and (b) being a troublemaker.

Go for it.

On what planet would a poll on Eboue's Arsenal legacy not be considered a football discussion?

And what makes you think that the silent majority feels any different than the vocal minority about either of us?

LOL in fact no, that's completely wrong! You and I both have to look hard for where Eboué was of some use. It always seemed to me that Eboué was best when he was played at fullback, but had no defending to do. Eboué was a good crosser of the ball, he could do that with more effectiveness than a simple pass to a midfielder.

Eboué always seemed to be able to get to a ball quickly and see the space in front of him and generally get well wide. He did that for the famous RVP (<SK) goal that was scored v Charlton. In that game Eboué wasn't playing especially well, but pulled that off without a hint of lacking confidence. When he played in midfield he could not adapt to the even quicker turn-around from possession to defending. Most fullbacks are half-decent midfielders. Eboué was therefore what coaches call a front-foot player - able to assess opportunities for a pass and threats to possession in a narrow 180 degree sector of the pitch which is in front of him, but when given a 360 watch his thinking, perception and execution got exposed. I started expressing concerns that he was no replacement for Lauren when he was a right back. I thought that one-dimensional players like this had died out in the 1970s. I suppose that's why I'm such a naughty boy.
Eboue was at his best when he played FB and had no defending to do? I'm not sure how to wrap my head around that statement but I'll do my best. I'll take it to mean when he was in the offensive half. Eboue did have irrational confidence going forward in his early days. He made many a threatening run when overlapping but the final result was sorely lacking. His crossing was not great at all, in fact, none of our FB's could deliver a decent cross consistently.

We bemoaned the efforts of Eboue, Sagna, and Clichy so many times on here in that aspect. You pull out this goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbTSkIJQvwg as a sign of his ability to cross? You have to be kidding me, this was a wonder strike, not a great cross. Eboue makes an simple overlapping run and then he just floats one in there on a hope and a prayer. RVP then delivers a shot that only a very few could produce. Guess that famous memory isn't doing too well on this one.

As I said earlier, as strictly a defender, Eboue was average. A backup squad player in every sense of the word. Going forward in any meaningful way was not his strong suit at all.

Well, in fairness there was this one too...

I recall waking people up blocks away with my screaming and running around after Henry's goal went in.
