The Second Coming of Eboue + 3 Weeks to Big Gun

I have given Eboue a lot of stick over the last 2 years since he slipped from his brilliant season and CL final dive. I think he has deserved it because he has been going the way of Ade, given Theo's weak shoulders Eboue will always have a shot at an extended team run. This has been the case since some crap international has sidelined out England star for months.
Personally I think diving should be a straight red for a professional foul and if I was a manager I would fine players their match fee for cheating. Saying that, one of my all time Arsenal heroes Bobby Pires was never particularly stable on his feet! This leads me on to Eboue's attitude. He may be a cheating, arrogant moron but he is a footballer. His personality is not coming into it, it's like people having a go at Becks for being thick. My question to them is how come hes a dribbling idiot but yet he takes home 4 times more than you earn in a year a week.
Eboue is a joker in the changing room and it is important for moral to have people keeping the spirits up. He has also been played out of position since Sagna (the best rightback in the Prem) was brought in. This must have been a hard knock for Eboue and the introduction of Theo has meant Manu has gone from being a boy wonder to a dunce.
I praise his spirit and I haven't forgiven him for his sending off against Spurs for the soul reason that if he had stayed on he would have won us the game. Against Roma he was pretty steady as well and his link up play with Sagna has always been good. The amount of energy he has put in in Feb has been really positive and he may not be the best passer/finisher but he is a full-back being played out of position.
As Le Grove said about Wenger banging on about players not getting the praise they deserve. I think he is right about Eboue at the moment. He has upset the fans and it will take time for them to forgive his awful performances.
As we bask in 2nd place in the injury table behind those poor Geordies who it is safe to say nothing goes their way. We have 6 players out at the moment:-
Eduardo,
Ade,
Rosicky,
Theo,
Cesc,
Slivestre,
It seems that the end of our injury crippling is in sight. Apparently we should be back to our full complement by April. This is just in time for us to go on an epic 27 match unbeaten march. If that doesn't get us into the CL nothing will!
I decided it would be a good thing to set up some sort of silly twitter thing because apparently its the next big thing. To be honest the next big thing is going to be Ashavin but if you want to listen to my ramblings cut down then here they are

Im not convinced that theo is actually ahead of eboue in wenger's pecking order as most others do
i dont think ive ever seen walcott play at eboue's expense, one of them has usually been put to left wing because of injuries
however, i think this post is a good balanced view of the eboue saga
im backing eboue to turn things round completely, he has far more football talent than most people give him credit for
