For William Gallas, Tottenham Hotspur Employee

Dear Hotspur, T
This must be
The apogee
Of your attempts to avenge Sol Campbell.

It ranks with the triumphant parading
Of Rohan Ricketts.

Oh, Rohan Ricketts!

Why do you now trade your sorry ply at
Moldovan Intertoto Cup outsiders FC Dacia Chişinău?
Was it because you went to Tottenham?

If Gallas wants some Ricketts, he can have them:
Dennis, God, the real red 10,
Knows ‘Cappy’ (sometime ‘Crappy’)
Has had every other injury besides.

Besides which, he wasn’t nice to Kolo,

And now he’ll limp beside Trauma King and Surgery Woodgate.

He wasn’t a good defender
And when he used to score
With his famous penis
(Deft from corners sometimes)
It somehow felt just slightly not as good
As every other time that Arsenal score.

    No it doesn’t – poetry does not have to rhyme… limericks do.

    Thats petty right there. You have no clue about football if you thought he wasnt a good defender. He was our best and our recent games have shown that we can be worse in defence than we thought.

    Arsenal fans are fast becoming as bad as spurs fans. I dont blame them with how shit the club is being run at the moment.

    Poem very inconsiderate, appreciative of the services of william Gallas. probably you would do same thing as Gallas if u happend to be in his position. You are human right. Let me say this, as an addict arsenal fan, I wouldn’t mind either if Fabrigas had left fo Barcelona you Know y cause it has serious lessons to teach us. So the contributions made by Gallas over the years he been at the club cannot be underestimated. i think focus on writing positive things and stop creating enmity or rather bad blood with clubs because another would love cross and play fo us. let promote positive competition.

    What on earth is this nonsensical drivel?

    This was awesome. Though I will disagree with the part about him being a bad defender, I admit that when we scored and I found out it was Gallas, it always disappointed me a little.

    He used to make me pull my hair as wathcing him venture forward in the No. 10 shirt.

    He was a good defender, but we won’t miss him

    What the hell is wrong with you so called Arsenal fans? This absolute d**k went to our most hated rivals and your defending him just to make a point to Arsenal FC, a club you claim to support? How about you do one better, and not just support him, support the club he’s at now as well, seriously we do have some of the worst fans in the world

    As regards the Gallas issue,Arsenal messed up.
    Gallas was not treated well,considering he was the most cosistent and exprience defender on our side and considering the fact how he handled the issue of withdrawal of arm band from him (captainship).Because Gallas decided he will not talk again so that the press will not twist his word does not mean he is a fool,more than 4clubs came for him when he lost the captainship but he stayed with us and did his job diligently but how did we pay him? our chairman morked him openly about his demand that was wrong you dont go to the press and anounce the negotiation you are having with your player in the press.
    Tell me if we strip Fabregars of the arm band today you think he will not move on at the next available transfer window if clubs come for him.
    I beleived Gallas went to shite-lane not for money but to make a statement.And we need to follow event this is not the first time it will happen in our club ask PIRES and FLAMINI he will tell you,why is it that those players that are ready to serve us and also good at doing their job are not apreiciated but we tend to pamper those who their loyalty have starded fading e.g. HENRY left us after we paid him 5m sign on fee and inproved contract of another 5m/year,ADEBAYO left us after we increase his contract to 80,000 per week and FARBREGAS agitating to go after we made him the highest paid in our club at age 21 and also give him captainship.
    But Gallas never wanted to go but we made him a subject of ridicule just as we did to Pires and Flamini(we almost force him to Birmigham that year and refuseto him another contract untill 3months to end of season)what does that tell you.Gallas served his term with us with all his strenght and ability but we did not fancy it to the optimum but we always prefer want away players to pamper like Hemry,Adebayo and now Farbregas.
