    Arsenal apparently started the second half with 9 men yesterday, after Toure refused to leave the dressing room until Gallas had finished receiving treatment, because he has to be the last one to leave the dressing room. He then picked up a booking by entering the field of play without waiting for permission. I'm sorry, but...

    What would have happened if they had conceded a goal whilst their two centre backs were still in the dressing room.

    And what happens if they sign another player with the same superstition? Do they come out holding hands?

    Footballers, eh? Now where's my lucky pig...

    I must admit, i'm fairly superstitious but...

    in situations like that, you have to igore your superstitions because at the end of the day, none of them mean owt. He could have cost his team the game.

    As Brian Clough said..

    I don't believe in luck, I don't believe in God, I believe in Brian Howard Clough
