Cut him some slack, he has always acted and spoken respectfully about Arsenal and it's not like he pulled an Adebayor or something.

Slack will not be cut because his goals hurt us deeply but because he's gone against his word, again. Last year he said that out of respect he wouldn't celebrate against us, I guess he didn't respect us that much.
I admire it when players show a bit of respect and don't celebrate against former clubs that mean a great deal to them. However, I do strongly dislike the fake respect. What he did this year puts into question the sincerity of his actions, or lack thereof, from last year.
The less about the twat the better though. I'm disappointed with the result, I thought a point would have been the worse case scenario. At the end of the day, though, the other contenders dropped points, we weren't massively out-played, took 6 points out of 9 from a tough part of our schedule, and we're still top of the league. Onward!
