Arsenal Stats
The stats show Wenger is right to stand by the scapegoat

The chickendinner spreadsheet above shows how much better Arsenal have performed with Emmanuel Eboue in the side than they have without him this season. The difference that the Ivorian makes for the Gunners is so drastic that they win more than twice as many games (80%) when he starts than they do when he doesn’t feature at all (38%).
Stick that in your cynical pipe and smoke it, boo boys.

Boo Boys
National Anthem jeering will result in cancellation

Last month, Tunisia supporters visiting the Stade de France controversially booed the French national anthem prior to a friendly. This enraged French Prez Nicolas Sarkozy, who decreed that French football games should be cancelled if anyone jeers the pre-match national anthem. Sports minister Roselyne Bachelot confirmed the threat, saying: “Any match at which our national anthem is whistled at will be immediately stopped.” No one cared to explained to her that a match that has yet to start cannot be “immediately stopped”.
For the first time since the deplorable event, France will return to the Paris stadium tonight to face Uruguay. Unlike the Tunisians, the South Americans will have little political cause to boo France’s national anthem La Marseillaise, yet Paddy Power are offering 33/1 on the match being cancelled on account of naughty crowd behaviour.
If the visiting fans fancy travelling thousands of miles to see a game called off, they know exactly what to do.
