Dosser. Bum.

Yeah, returning back to (the new) norm. Tbf, everyone was shit today.

longest serving Captain since Tony Adams apparently, is that right?

wonder who will be next… Rice or Gabriel?

Is Øde leaving?

don’t think so, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he hands the armband over to someone else in 2026.

In your dreams

:ode:

Gallas as captain still makes me angry

that 2-2 against Birmingham will never be forgotten lol

That meltdown at st Andrews, although our players had every right to be angry at the injustice we faced that day, summed up his spell as captain

for any young’uns out there:

Good defender though

Yeah, he was, just not captain material. Came up with some goals as well.

Probably the best defender Wenger signed after Campbell tbh.

When all was said and done, Gallas should’ve cried a bit too to take it up a notch.

I didn’t have any issue with that Birmingham moment tbh. Horrific injury and filled with controversy. Bit of emotion. Seems it’s more ok to scream at refs instead (which is worse).

Yeah. Shouldn’t have reacted like that as a captain primarily, but I completely understood it at the time. Actually I had the basically the same reaction while watching the game lol, was absolutely furious with Clichy.

As said above, he was simply a poor choice for a captain. A warrior but a known hothead, it was always going to end that way. Not sure what was Wenger thinking there.

Not as angry as Gilberto not as captain makes me.

No we are not rationalising the captain sitting down on the pitch like a little fucking crybaby in FEBRUARY!!

It’s the worst moment I’ve ever seen from an Arsenal captain even though xhaka ran him close. 200 years from now it’ll still be ridiculous.
