If Cesc said that sort of stuff in private but is not saying so in
public, then his 'friend' Xavi should know better than to basically
leave the viewer with one of two responses: 1) Xavi is a douchebag or 2)
Cesc is much more unhappy than he's letting on.

Having said that, I think that FC Barcelona is putting their players up
to this very public recruiting act, and I think that FIFA needs to take
action. It's gotten well beyond ridiculous now, and a penalty is due.

Nice try putting a negative spin on me, Abu.

Xavi's out of line trying to recruit Fabregas, trying to shame Arsenal
into selling him, and particularly with his comment about the team's
likely standing in January. He comes off like a child, a bit like you.

You don't need any help from on that account, you do a fine job
yourself.

So what? As if Arsenal are waiting for a thunderclap from Xavi in the
press in order to make decisions about their club. And it's good to
hear a player speak his mind for once. Childish is the Arsenal fan
reactions to all this, they're obviously not very confident about
keeping Fabregas at the club.

Okay, keep whining, "mummy mummy, look Xavi doesn't respect us....if
