Okay. Here is my list:
Manuel Almunia
Abou Diaby
Theo Walcott
Marouane Chamakh
Johan Djourou
Sébastien Squillaci
Andrei Arshavin
Denílson
Nicklas Bendtner
Carlos Vela
A few players in our starting line up also need to be relegated to the bench.
My issue with our wage structure is that we pay to much for players who dont play and don't pay enough to our top players. For example, Nasri left us because we wouldn't pay him 120k a week, which was 30k more than what we reportedly offered, but we are prepared to pay Squillaci 60k a week to sit on the bench and whenever he does take the field he is invariably the worst player on the field.
Put it this way... if Van Persie leaves because we are being stingy with our pockets there will be hell to pay.... Van Persie DESERVES at least 150k a week while those other shitty players don't even deserve to put on an Arsenal shirt let alone their wages.
Thanks for the post. Don't agree with Walcott-- flashes of brilliance, that one. Diaby looked shit today.
Arsenal doesn't pay the good players...but overpays the bench. Interesting. I can't believe that about Nasri. Still, he hasn't lit up MC. If Wenger would have played Arshavin in his natural position would things be different for him?

You did it again didn't you? Great goal from Xavi, Iniesta with his usual amazing play.
Thank you. It's the reason I'm going to refrain from coming into this thread during matches, some of the posters here are embarrassing. It's one big circle jerk. Prime example today when everyone said Suarez dived, he didn't, there was contact, shin to shin, which isn't a dive.
A dive is what Bale did against us. No contact and dropping.
I don't like Suarez's exaggeration, and I don't blame people for getting annoyed at it, but some people let it consume them so they say ridiculous things. Exaggeration isn't diving. It's not nice, and I'd rather he didn't do it, but hundreds of players go down under contact in the box, especially when a keeper comes to confront an oncoming player, clatters them and misses the ball.
Add Park to that list and that's more or less my list too. A massive house cleaning is in order, and wouldn't mind Arsene saying his tata as well.
He's on loan atm.
I do. Should have sent him on loan instead of Miyachi. Oxfarm Chamberpot deserves to be ahead of Walcott in the pecking order.
I'd even forgotten about Marouane Chamakh. :lol
Chamakh was a sub for today, as well. IiRC.
I really like Walcott. Those two goals last week were great, and he almost scored today.
I thought he looked a bit spastic today. But he has been out awhile, right?

It's not the going down under minimal contact that annoys me, as has already been said, lots of players do that. It's the rolling around clutching the shin and grasping the air which fuel my intense dislike of him.
It frustrated the fuck out of me when Nani did similar and curled into his infamous foetal position but to his credit, he's cut that out now. It'd just be nice to see players like Suarez doing the same.
No.
Is he promoting his latest hair product or something? Because from the sound of it he has pinpointed his target demographic.
He has two sisters and they both have an amazing personality. Or so I hear.
And I dislike them all to a similar level too!
Probably Adebayor or Tevez.
I'm sorry to be so blunt, but that's bullshit. Look at his shin pad move, that's not minimal contact, that's a clash, and at that point any player is entitled to look for the penalty. You're letting your dislike for the player cloud your judgement on this particular incident, as were most people at the time, to my disdain; people who now look foolish with the close up gif.
That's fine and I appreciate your point, I'm not greatly fond of it myself. What irks me is when people jump to ridiculous conclusions based on this dislike, as evidenced by the page of posts saying Suarez dived today, when he didn't. For reference, this is a dive:

Yeah there's no need, but how many other players would have gone down there? Nani, Cr7, Pedro, Di Maria, Eboue and so many others. Suarez isn't an angel(not even close lol), but I do think that the hate for him is a bit too much.
Although I have to say he does bring a lot of the hate to himself, whether its the handball at the World Cup, the whole Evra fiasco, diving and so on.

You must hate majority of the players out there because almost all them do this. I've seen a lot of players do it week in and week out but it gets blown out of proportion when Suarez does it. I'm not saying its a good thing and I find it annoying but people like being very selective.
Tevez I could easily see on that wage, wouldn't be a surprise.
For reference, this is a dive:
'Arry was on SkySports discussing how Bale doesn't dive, he just gets kicked a lot.
That's ironic, because after he sees that gif it'll be him getting kicked, kicked in the teeth.
RVP and Verm gain Rafa's ability to summon TV graphics.
v: we are both off to madrid to make alot $$$$
rvp: fuck yeah!
Darren Bent, no wonder Villa had a £50mill deficit.

Are you drunk again Arnie?

Arnie that is minimal contact. Their shins brushed against each other and nothing more.
It's your right as a Liverpool fan to defend him but don't call that a clash.
It's rubbish that players think they're are entitled to look for a penalty under the slightest provocation.
It makes a mockery of the sport and thats exactly what players like Suarez and his ilk are doing. I dislike seeing United players doing it. I dislike seeing Irish national team players doing it. I'm not singling out Suarez here.

Hahah that is awesome, the Rafa GIF still amazes me, the timing is just too good.

Yeah, there's definitely a distinction between the two but to be fair the people branding him a diver they're most likely just using it as a blanket statement for any act of either genuine diving (ala Bale) or exaggeration (ala Suarez).
Holy shit :lol

I think its mainly cause the reactions from fans differ so much. If I remember correctly, when Rafael dived, like really badly. Most posts were: "SMH Rafael" "lol rafael" Compare that to when Suarez does anything close to a dive. I think that's what is mainly being argued by the L'pool guys, Suarez hate clouding peoples judgement on everything he does.
I personally cant really tell if it was a dive against Arsenal, even if there was contact, it was very minimal. So more like overreacting/play acting(busquets/pepe like)
which is horrible to watch

I remember when we got dumped out of the FA cup by Reading back in 2010 due to a really really soft penalty. I came on GAF and almost everyone on here was not criticizing the player for going down so easily. Almost every post was LOLPool and such. I'm not saying you were one of these people, I'm just pointing out that a lot of people on here tend to be hypocrites.
