Sky Sports have caught up with Arsenal’s most controversial player at present, full-back turned midfielder Emmanuel Eboue, to find out how life at Arsenal has been in the past few weeks.
The Ivorian responded by talking about how things were difficult in the aftermath of his infamous Wigan substitution, where a large section of the Emirates booed off the number 27 for a miserable performance when the substitute was subbed. But in a funny interview in which Eboue said the phrase “very very” to describe every situation, he now claims that everything is great after receiving mail from supporters apologising for their actions.
Some, however, are refusing to renege on their opinion of Eboue with the Daily Mirror’s Martin Lipman leading the latest backlash against the footballer.
Lipman: “Emmanuel Eboue should never play for Arsenal again. His sending-off at Tottenham on Sunday that cost Arsenal any chance of winning the game came from two stupid yellow cards and was the latest in a long, long line of mistakes…. The fans don’t like him because he dives, is not particularly good and his style on the pitch leaves them wondering whether he cares enough. His interview shows he cares. But, sadly, he hasn’t learnt. Oh, no.”

For a start he wears number 27. Walcott is 14.
Secondly, no he isn’t forgiven. I was at WHL on Sunday and could have killed the moronic fool if i’d been unfortunate enough to get my hands round his stringy little neck.

Cheers Steve.
Amazing how just days after getting sent off in a crucial game, Eboue has seemingly already forgotten about it!

funny how rooney can call refs all the swear words in the whole world but never gets booked for verballs. It was stupid what he did and i for one was livid with the boy on sunday cause he ruined my sunday football viewing, and he is in last chance saloon but he is not the only daft prem footballer, it just seems he cant get away with anything as his rep preceeds him.

I watched the game again when I got home because i felt at the time he may have been hard done by, then realised he wasn’t. The guy is an idiot and should never play for the club again.
If Rooney played for us i’d accept the odd moment of madness due to his quality. Eboue doesn’t have that. Saying that other players do it is no excuse, the ref told him time and again to shut up.

Here are your boots - you might as well take them you won’t need them at Arsenal again.
Complete moron and a disgrace that he has played so many games when people like Sidwell and Bently were sent packing.
But …….. you have to ask the question what planet has AW been on fielding this player and don’t tell me there hasn’t been options because there has!
So yes NOT FORGIVEN AND NEVER WILL BE.

regardless of whether the first card was justified or not, in his interview, he said that he did kick out and the second card was normal…so he just admitted that while already on a card he did something completely unneccessary to pick up a card he called deserved. Could you be any dumber?
