Despite the horrifying performance in Arsenal’s 2-3 defeat to the Spuds, there was one part of the game that impressed me hugely. Unfortunately it occured pre kick-off when Samir Nasri blanked ex-Arsenal team mate William Gallas by refusing to shake his hand.
Now for those of you who don’t know the reason for this, here is a quick update. A few years ago after a France game, a young Samir Nasri accidentally sat in Thierry Henry’s seat on the bus, William Gallas took exception to this ‘insulting’ act and demanded Nasri moved. Although Samir did change seats, he rowed with Gallas over the way he spoke to him and the pair had a major fall-out. Nasri even claimed he didn’t speak to his team mate for over a year and said he wouldn’t shake his hand before the game.
Fair play Samir, Gallas was always a bit of a bully and i applaud you for sticking up for yourself. Shame some of your Arsenal team mates didn’t show similar fight today!
