Whoever disliked the original post is a twat.

Got some flak about this on another forum..I'm not the kind of person who celebrates all injuries of rival players, and maliciously hopes for season ending injuries. BUT when its a self induced injury by some kid who decided to gloat, even on his way out..thats when I'm the kind of person that smirks while reading this.

I'll gladly be a twat.

I think it's fucking pathetic to celebrate a serious injury to a player. What did he actually do that was so bad? He showed the score with his fingers. Naaaw, was that to much for you to handle? Did he make you feel small? Grow a fucking set of balls and deal with it like a grown up person!

You are missing the bloody point. I am not your typical spurs fan, let alone sports fan. I ALWAYS commend the other team if they play well..I enjoy good football, plain and simple. He played very well against us, I'll be the first to tell you that. I'm not enjoying his injury..I'm enjoying the presence of Karma. Fans are known for being idiots...footballers are supposed to be professionals. Many of them would never gloat mid game, especially not while being carted off with a self inflicted injury.

Twat.

One more thing...The BIGGEST factor in this entire issue is the fact it was a self inflicted injury. If dembele tore wallcots knee open, and he decided to gloat on his way out..well we wouldn't really be able to blame the kid. But the fact he derped himself, and still decided to act like a cheeky bum? Two different scenarios all together...

Says the grown up who just has to be right on the internet. Swear words don't help your argument.

What is it about his situation you find so bad?

He can't play a fucking game for 6 months? Big deal. He'll still be clearing his £100k per week. What a shit situation to be in.

It does make me laugh the whole "I would never wish that on a professional" line. Even if his career was over (which it isn't) he and his family are sorted for life and he will live very comfortably. I think I could live with the depressing, saddening knowledge that poor little theo was crying himself to sleep dreaming of playing football again because, in the grand scheme of things, who cares. We ain't talking about a brain surgeon who's had to retire because of a hand injury and as a result loads of people die. Walnuts meant to be a sportsmen. Sportsmen get injured. When goons get injured I laugh.

Remember when Bale got injured in the EL last season. The reaction of the gooners was just as bad, if not worse.

I wonder if Tim will prioritise playing Townsend on the right now so that he gets chosen to go to Brazil. Not that there is much competition but I can see Tim favouring him above Erik and maybe even Aron.

It was all pretty innocent banter with the exception of some concerned silly Spurs fans (obviously a very small %) who decided to help Theo with his rehab by throwing coins to help pay for the costs like morons. Arsenal fans (also a very small %) made hugely irresponsible comments on Twitter and will no doubt pay for it.

Some people are too easily wound up. I remember a game at the Lane a few years ago vs City (just before or after they were bought out ). One of the Gallagher brothers was there. We were 1-0 or 2-0 up and they scored. The Gallagher leaned over from his box in the shelf and gave it to the crowd below. I was sitting in block 29(ish) and a good 20 of the blokes around me completely lost their shit and wanted to go up there and bash him. It was one of the most pathetic things I have witnessed. It was just a bit of banter FFS!

I'd like him to go back to 4-3-3, with Eriksen shifted to the middle and Chadli/Townsend and Lennon/Lamela rotated on the wings, so that there is always one winger and one inverted winger on the pitch.

Its likely that this ACL injury will affect his pace when he returns, his entire game is reliant on his pace.

The people celebrating his injury are fucking morons, all of you.
I gladly be a moron and laugh at him(not celebrate, couldnt give a shit personally)

This is the same prick who during the racist storm said Terry was a amazing in public, as far as I know the only one to do so.

Then he is one of few players who thinks its cool to be a prick towards their rivals. They dont understand they aren't arsenal fans. If a Arsenal fan said 2 nil to me, I would tell him to fuck off and thats that.

However winding up rival fans consistently, does piss me off, especially since its only to get brownie points with his own fans. You dont see our players talk shit like they do before matches just to wind up fans.

Cliche statements i dont mind like we are better and we are on top at the moment but some shit him and Sir scheesy come out with just deserve a slap. Overpaid shits trying to provoke fans of a different club, most of who cant afford to go to all their team matches, pathetic.

You don't hear our players provoke west ham?

THIS!

All that needs to be said. He's an extremely lucky individual, making way too much money from a job where he fully well know of and is richly compensated for the risk of injury. Injuries are part of the game, and it's just sweet when it hampers Arsenal's hopes for a sucsessful season. Especially under such funny circumstances as with a gloating, smiley, little injury feigning twit who's injured himself.

Of people I spend my sympathy on, football players, who's out with an injury for a little period of time where he cashes in £2,600,000, is quite a bit far down the list.

Why can't the premier league be more like WWE, so in the middle of a bed-side Sky Sports interview with Walnut, Sandro shows up dressed as a clown to "keep his spirits up" during his recovery, but as soon as they're alone just loses his shit and dashes him round the head with practically any furniture that he can find.

I'd watch that.
