The Brit Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 said it in his post match man of the match interview...that he'd won us two titles and fans should appreciate what he did for us...to be honest I still don't have anything against gallas and wish he was still in our back four...still smiled when I heard the chants though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 He's sticking up for his mate, we all know his emotional, lets not try and make something negative of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maksimov Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 He could've become a Chelsea legend had he kept his mouth shut and stayed with us. I still appreciate what he did for us, though. Drogba is right, Gallas was one of the most important players during those two glorious seasons. I can't ever hate the lad, but I don't like to see him as the captain of Le Arse.

Lofty Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I don't actually hate Gallas. I just see him as a prime target for all the well justified abuse that comes his way. Serves him right, in other words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizeH Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I can't ever hate the lad, but I don't like to see him as the captain of Le Arse. +1 What exactly were the Chelsea fans chanting then? I'm useless at picking out chants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjd Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 drogba urges fans to show gallas more respect Ex players getting abuse is part and parcel of football. But is he talking about the same Gallas that threatened to score an own goal against us ? Sorry, Didier he might be your mate but he aint gonna get any respect from me.

Lofty Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I'm not sure. What I do know is that he threw his toys out of the pram at being played out of position, at right back, but never, ever said a dicky bird when Wenger instructed him to play the exact same position.

nickwus Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Alternatively, Didier is showing how smart he is.... Give someone abuse and its likely to make them try harder (if they are A type personalities), he's rather Gallas was not trying harder! How many lower level teams have won in part because they raised their games against the top teams...? Barnsley? Tottenham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, losing against us and realising that he made the wrong move, as he's won f**k all since, most certainly does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethicalstrategy Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 He did get a lot of abuse. I thought it was a bit unnecessary. I know he left in bitter circumstances but he was a great player for us for 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably said that cos he knows he's about to "do a Gallas" and wants us to show him the same respect after he leaves in the summer. As you say, how dare he tell the fans how they should treat Gallas.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essien's Strike Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 gallas was awesome and i have his name on my centennial shirt - but he did whine like a little bitch constantly. and now he kisses arsenals badge, so hmmm.... he made his choices - thanks for the memories, but now youre the enemy c'est la vie, non?

mad_mac Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 He's had a history of throwing his toys out the pram when he wants to leave. He did the same when he joined us, leaving Marseilles was it? Anyway, he is a great player, but totally self centred. What he did for us, I will appreciate forever, but he's now an arse player so f*ck him!

callista Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well I guess I'm in the minority that felt Drogba showed some class to say that when perhaps it may be unpopular with fans that he was seen to be sticking up for Gallas. He showed some human compassion for someone who was a fellow colleague of his once and I presume was having pretty foul things said about him. On a day when Alan Green said that he had seen a sign going up the motorway to the Man Utd game which said "ninety six not enough" in reference to Hillsborough, well I actually thought Drogba's statement about having some respect for Gallas was a reflection of some basic human decency. After hearing bout Loz's experience today, we could do with a bit more of that in the world no matter what the underling motives may have been in Drogba's case and whether the person being spoken about is someone we like or not.

TomP Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 You can't throw your toys out of the pram and transfer to one of our closest rivals and expect not to get booed. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
