FA Cup

[Leicester Fox]

I don't think its fair to complain about Nani when you'd never see Wenger tell Henry to stop it like when they were 7-0 up against Boro andno-one complained either, they just couldn't take it aganst better oppo. If it bothers them that much I saw we sign Kerlon. Anyway Arsenal have an easy run until the chelsea game so you won't have to get too upset for a while Will Then its squeaky bum time

I'm sorry to bring up the showboating topic, but here's another example of Henry.

There was nothing else for Nani to do, at first he did it to keep possession.

And look at 1 minute 20 seconds of this, nothing different to what Nani did.

 

[Bilal91]

i am not complaining of what nani did...he's an exceptianol player in my eyes and was superb yesterday...he and his team had done a good job to get to that point and he was just enjoying himself with those tricks and flicks...and it was mostly to keep possesion...

although it did fusturate arsenals players such as hoyte who went after him but yh...everybody does it if they are winning by that margin...

 

[King Pietersen]

Arsenal fans condemning showboating; now that's hilarious.

 

[Kiko_97]

best skill ever

 

[evertonfan]

You can all suck on this;

Now that's showboating!

 

[Will_NA]

There's a difference between what Nani did and what Henry did. Henry was running in the right direction.

I don't know why you brought the showboating topic up again.

 

[PhilD123]

I don't know why you brought the showboating topic up again.

Cos I found evidence that proved I was right.

Nani's was with the purpose of keeping the ball.

 

[Will_NA]

No, it wasn't. He was showing how easy it was for him to make a fool out of Hoyte and Arsenal.

 

[evertonfan]

Tbh I thought it was good defending. Those of you who play amateur football know how hard it is to defend whilst facing your own goal and having a man right on your back.

Of course he was showing off. But I have no problems with that. It's in his job as a footballer to entertain the public and that's precisely what he was doing. He probably wouldn't have done it if it was 0-0 at the time, but when your beating the best team in the country 4-0 I think it's within your right to treat the crowd with a bit of showboating.

 

[Will_NA]

No, it wasn't. He was showing how easy it was for him to make a fool out of Hoyte and Arsenal.

To add to this, Hoyte should not have chased him. He should have let him do his thing. Instead, he goes chasing and looks like a twat.

I don't think we can claim this moniker after yesterday's defeat. I wouldn't have made such a big deal out of it had Phil not labelled Wenger arrogant fr having a problem with it.

2nd best, but yeah your point is right.

Yep, although I was more bothered by Flamini, who came in with a potential leg-breaker about 5 seconds later.

 

[Will_NA]

I thought it was a fair tackle...

About time we won a challenge in midfield.

If we beat you 5-0 in April, I think we can safely assume the title of best in the country.

 

[evertonfan]

And if we beat Liverpool at Anfield then we will officially be the 4th best team in the country and then next season we'll be the best team in Europe.

I'm gonna presume the first point was sarcasm. I'm not sure about your hypothesis, if you win the league this season though, you are the best in the country, no doubts. The league winners are always the best in the country.
