I'm suprised people are sticking up for him, but on the other hand it doesn't suprise me those people are Arsenal fans. I wonder what their reactions would be if it was Ronaldo in Henry's position?

I'm not saying that in the slightest. Understanding and sympathy doesn't equate to condoning.
I'm not a hypocrite and i don't get caught up knee jerk hysteria or scape goatting. Despite my massive dislike for Ronaldo i was the first pointing out the ridiculous hysteria, hypocrisy and stupidity surrounding the winking saga at the last WC. Same as i was doing last week with the Drogba/Evans incident, despite as you correctly pointed out, supporting Arsenal.
It doesn't surprise me the people castigating him
aren't Arsenal fans, or France fans, or putting the situation in context, or considering what it would be like if the shoe was on the other foot.
