Former Gunner Nigel Winterburn insists Arsene Wenger will not sack William Gallas as Arsenal captain, despite the defender's public attack on his team.Gallas launched a stunning critique of his team-mates, revealing the mood in the camp has become fractious.But Winterburn, who made 440 appearances in 13 years at Arsenal, told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I know Arsene and he'll be very hurt by the comments."But sacking Gallas would undermine everything about Arsenal right now."It is not the first time Frenchman Gallas's position as skipper has been called into question this year.His petulant reaction to last season's draw with Birmingham drew heavy criticism and earlier this campaign, he was photographed with a cigarette in his mouth leaving a nightclub.His most recent comments have further angered Arsenal fans after he revealed he was forced to break up a fight in the dressing room during the Gunners' 4-4 draw with Tottenham while accusing an unnamed player of disrupting team morale.Many supporters have called for Gallas to be demoted as captain, but Winterburn said: "In my view he won't sack Gallas."Arsene has put his trust in Gallas to lead Arsenal forward - to suddenly turn round and sack him says I don't trust you as a player."And if you don't trust him as a player it also means he's not going to pick him. Is he going to do that? I don't think so."Bobby Barnes, assistant chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association, said his organisation was not overly concerned by Gallas' comments."There are disputes at every club, every day, just like there are in other places of work," the former West Ham midfielder told BBC Sport."In a dressing room, there are always different personalities and dynamics."It's just unfortunate that this has come into the public domain. I visit Arsenal regularly and they have one of the most friendly and polite atmospheres of any club."The team spirit is good and it's a very well-run club."
was a funny day up there in the 5 all time great fails of arsenal fans on rwd/vip2*Remembers when Arsenal fans were hyping they got the better deal in the Gallas-Cole transfer*
Fact is the way he puts across his outbursts are usually all wrong, but if you look at them in essence, sadly at times he's right.
he is a idiotshould be thought how to talk to the mediahow can you drop such sh*t when you have a important run in this isn't f*ck*ng post-season-pre-season time is it?them stupid captains thereshould be taken off him

He's right if maybe we knew the intricate dealings inside the squad, which we don't.van Persie is apparently hated by everyone but yet a lot of the players say he's one of their close friends within the squad.Gallas on the other hand, has a been sh*t captain from start to finish and says he doesn't have much in common with a lot of the other players.Clichy and Toure are much more suited to it.
RVP is a c*nt though even the Feyenoord fans knew this when they sold himI want to know what he did and said to judge how bad it is before calling him a disruptive influence
beg toure is captani would mean he starts every game lmaobottom 6
The thing is they did, just each manager killed off both players careers, but at least Cole won some medals.Gallas will go down as one of the few players who's career went backwards under Wenger.*Remembers when Arsenal fans were hyping they got the better deal in the Gallas-Cole transfer*
Its bait van Persie is one of them guys that just says how he feels at the time and keeps it moving, despite how awkward it might make others feel.Gallas is older than all of them and came up differently, to a degree I think he is one of those older players that is jealous of how young players have it. I think Gallas feels they got everything they just need character, and probably in his weird own way he trying to teach them it cos lets be honest none of these know what it is is to play at a poor club or have to come up in anyway, he probbaly looks around at some of the sh*t that happens at Arsenal and thinks this is easy street.Clichy & Toure are more suited to being Arsenal captains, as they will be accepted, however Toure seems like your likeable African at work, nobody says a bad word about him, cant fault his work or effort, but its bait when training is out that nigga going to eat jolloff and not mixing with none of them.He's right if maybe we knew the intricate dealings inside the squad, which we don't.van Persie is apparently hated by everyone but yet a lot of the players say he's one of their close friends within the squad.Gallas on the other hand, has a been sh*t captain from start to finish and says he doesn't have much in common with a lot of the other players.Clichy and Toure are much more suited to it.

More or less my thoughts on him.
Whether this is truth or not, do you reallllllly think this is an acceptable thing to say to the media??Come on now this is a joke, how can he be chucking indirects in the public domain.If you got problems, keep schtum init. He has either f*cked up, or is making weak excuses, wither way not acceptable.Dont try defend himRight see I think some of the media have brainwashed you, and a lot of you are being swayed by our anti-Gallas hate... At first I nearly did then I broke down what he actually said, rather than have a newspaper do it for me...When, as captain, some players come up to you and talk to you about a player...complaining about him... and then during the match you speak to this player and the player in question insults us, there comes a time where we can no longer comprehend how this can happen."
Its not even that, its a simple as this - Gallas is there older, he there captain, when he offers advice or has a go at you, in footballing terms, your expected to listen/take it on board even if while he's saying it your thinking "your a big cry baby, you cant chat to man". You think any of them man could say anything remotely abusive to Wenger when he calling them from the sides.Thats the problem with Arsenal, you just getting the feeling that when it all gets on top in a moment, they crumble, there all too rash and there is no calming influence. And when man talk about next Arsenal captains they always name Toure, Clich, & Fabregas, who IMO are the chief culprits for being extremely rash.RVP is a c*nt though even the Feyenoord fans knew this when they sold himI want to know what he did and said to judge how bad it is before calling him a disruptive influence
There is nothing wrong with that quote, the worst part of that quote is the bit Flojo I think throw up, where he effectively made it obvious it was van Persie by dropping the age, he knew what he was doing, it was sly, he was being a c*nt, and van Persie will be pissed, but at the same time it could prove to be a master stroke, cos like I said now peoiple wont see van Persie with there same tints. Gallas and van Persie may never be friends again, but if its the kick to make van Persie stating playing and helping Arsenal win something, Gallas nor I will care.Whether this is truth or not, do you reallllllly think this is an acceptable thing to say to the media??Come on now this is a joke, how can he be chucking indirects in the public domain.If you got problems, keep schtum init.

Lots of cosign in this topic.Fab + Denislon makes no sense.Gallas is right but in a wrong way.Toure and Clichy lack something to make them properly effective captains.RVP is a c*nt from what I've heard.
Need more players with his mentailtyour team has no winnersno leadersjust weakwho ever mentioned Clichy, Fab, Toure for captain, dont be silly.

Flojo
Juts comes across as a selfish outburst to me, he seems to be pissed at shouldering too much of the blame which a captain should be prepared to do.

Gallas always has & always will be selfish, thats just who he is. He so aint a Arsenal captain & I hope he looks at himself as critically as his outbursts on others & seeks improvement. Cos there are valid reasons why van Persie or however would have no respect for him. Fact is the way he puts across his outbursts are usually all wrong, but if you look at them in essence, sadly at times he's right.
