The Bias of this article

This article on Emmanuel Eboue grossly presents a favorable portrayal of him and his accomplishments, and in no way retains an objective view of the subject. It was obviously written by a fan of Eboue: "He also frequently dribbles past opponents with considerable ease, and his dribbling ability is fantastic for a right-back." I myself, do not like Eboue at all, however, I do not intend to inject my biases into this page, although i do request for changes to be made. This article is not neutral and should be corrected Stumac1990 20:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)stumac1990[reply]

I think the above quoted statement from the article is fine. Let us not over-dramatize this matter of serious concern, that of the article's bias. That Eboue does frequently dribble past his opponents is an objective fact. Whether it is easy for him to do so nor not, depends ultimately on the defender in question. Eboue often plays in games against 'lesser' opponents - those from the lower divisions - so he does on occasion, dribble with ease past defenders. My point: leave the original. And Bless Eboue and the beautiful game he plays. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.35.102.228 (talk) 04:12, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Counter Bias of this Article

I read the article through and although i could not see what you were talking about in terms of bias in favor of Eboue, although im guessing its been edited since you made that comment, it now has areas which are grossly bias against Eboue, for example, "Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has stated his intention to move Eboue into a role on the right wing, following the signing of Bakary Sagna. This will allow Emmanuel to showcase his attacking flaws and leaving Arsenal's defence exposed" and "He broke 3 metatarsals in John Terry's foot when Arsenal played Chelsea [1] but again the officials didn't take any action and Eboue ended the match pretending to be injured in order to waste time."

While its important to note in the article that Eboue has had disciplinary problems, it has to be done in an un-bias way and at the moment its far from it. I'm new to this so i'm not sure about editing it myself, but if it doesn't get put right soon i'm going to give it a go and it'll probably all go wrong so will somebody please finally make this article compleatly un-bias cuz im worried ill mess it all up if i try. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnny Maverik (talk • contribs) 20:12, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Eboue's booing and enforced substitution not worthy of inclusion?

So I'm a newbie. I was also at the Arsenal game on Saturday when Eboue's poor play led to him being booed and then taken off...after coming on as a substitute. It's now Wednesday, and it's *still* being talked about in the newspapers and in blogs.

Given that - and the fact it might lead to Eboue leaving the club - I added this:

Eboue became the centre of much comment^[1] ^[2] ^[3]after his below-par performance ^[4] in the home game against Wigan on December 6 2008 led to fans booing him and cheering his substitution.

It was removed as "undue".

As I am keen to learn, I would like to know why it was flagged for this. Was it poorly written for Wikipedia? Or did the flagger deem the events of last Saturday not worthy of inclusion?Secret malt (talk) 19:03, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Players get booed all the time. It's part and parcel of the game. Wikipedia does not serve as a repository or chronicler of such events. Sure, it's rare that a substitute is substituted, but this was just another EPL match. It may be quite different if he played so badly in a game of greater significance. Are we about to document every single red card, bad tackle, poor game that a player has? It will be too much detail. Chensiyuan (talk) 11:11, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course Wikipedia should not document every red card etc etc - although I note that for some reason the date and opponents when Eboué scored his SECOND goal is documented - but I believe you are downplaying the scale of the Eboué incident, and the wider context. Players rarely get booed to such an extent that their own manager takes them off for their own good (as Wenger admitted). Players rarely get booed to such an extent that radio phone-ins are devoted to the issue, or newspaper articles weighing up the rights and wrongs. Even as I type, BBC Radio FiveLive has begun its evening's football coverage with a direct reference to it. And when I talk about the wider context, I mean this: in the middle of the credit crunch, with fans like me paying £50 or more a game, and with players like Eboué receiving upwards of £25,000 a game, football in England seems to be reaching something of a tipping point where supporters feel entitled to vent their feelings in the way that they (we) did, again a point argued in newspapers and on the radio. I argue that this event is worthy of inclusion. Secret malt (talk) 19:04, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, the Eboue article is badly written so citing an example from within won't help advance anything. I'll suggest either looking at the core policies of WP or better written football articles like Thierry Henry or Gilberto Silva to get a sense of what I'm getting at. Chensiyuan (talk) 23:31, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And yet the booing incident is included on Eboue's page...so I was right all along. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.185.144.121 (talk) 16:19, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cult hero?

I don't want to step on anyones toes, but what basis does the claim Eboue is viewed as a cult hero have? I am an Arsenal fan, and read serveral blogs and obviously know many other Arsenal fans, and in my experience, most fans don't even like Eboue that much because of the belief he isn't good enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.79.65.208 (talk) 16:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a cult of Eboue. I, for instance, play on two tribute team called Bhikku Eboue (B), in honor of the great footballer. The league is called Soccer7s.ca. We are in the divisions SUMMER MD5 ERSTE LIGA, and more importantly, SUMMER THURSDAY MENS EKSTRAKLASA, where we sit top of the table. We shout EBOUE before every game, as well as during half. When we score, you hear Eboue's name called. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.35.102.228 (talk) 04:17, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
