Anelka COULD be a great footballer, but he lacks the mental capacity to understand what that takes.
He's got the skills.

Anelka was just trying to get the ball just like anyone else in his situation would have done.
OneteaminLondon said:EH? Anelka raised his hands to Cole and pushed him in the face. Also Cole never touched Fowler, Fowler came running in to grab the ball and Coley sidestepped him, leaving Fowler on his ample backside!
Though wtf Edu was playing at, and he's supposed to be a nice guy..!

This is fromfootball365.comWhy Did Cole Get Booked?
When a team scores in the first 80 minutes of a game it is left to the goalie or a defender to pick the ball out of the back of the net. The referee was quoted yesterday as saying he booked Cole for "holding on to the ball". Do the rules change in the last few minutes of a game?
Next time Arsenal concede a goal will it be acceptable for them all to leave the ball in the back of the net? Or will somebody be booked for time-wasting?
Yesterday's incident just shows how stupid footballers are. Anelka deserved everything he got (especially after the sending off in the Villa-Bolton Carling Cup semi-final). As far as I'm concerned Cole did nothing wrong. And no, I don't particularly like Arsenal, but surely this is all a big fuss about nothing.
